Reddit post mocks Tom Lee's $250K year-end Bitcoin call with weeks left
A Reddit post on r/Bitcoin says Tom Lee predicted in January that Bitcoin would exceed $250,000 by the end of the year, and notes only two months remain. The post says Lee has gotten two of six Bitcoin predictions right, both in 2017, and calls the year-end target into question.
