- However, if it harms the token, supporters might abandon it, impacting its survival.
AI16Z's Origin
- Shaw, a crypto-native AI researcher, created AI16Z, a DAO aiming to build an AI fund manager like Mark Andreessen.
- Andreessen, involved with GOAT, encouraged Shaw's project, leading to the AI agent "PAIMarka."
AI16Z Drama
- AI16Z's market cap plummeted due to two incidents involving Shaw: launching an ELISA token after saying others could, and endorsing a rug pull token.
- This damaged Shaw's reputation, impacting AI16Z's perceived legitimacy and performance.
