Andreessen Horowitz CTO Eddy Lazzarin likened meme coins to ‘Risky Casinos’ on April 25, arguing that they deterred genuine builders from the crypto ecosystem due to the high risk involved.
Lazzarin posted to X, stating that meme coins hinder the long-term vision of cryptocurrency, which has kept many of the original builders in the space.
