On October 23rd, a16z founder Marc Andreessen discussed the origins of Truth Terminal and the creation process of the Meme coin GOAT in a podcast. He described how the AI robot began promoting the GOAT meme and then created a Meme token for it, which quickly grew to a valuation of $500 million. Andreessen described this as the first true fusion of AI and cryptocurrency.
Earlier, Marc Andreessen posted on X platform, saying, "This summer, I provided a $50,000 unconditional personal research grant to the terminal of truths and its creator to support independent AI research. The results were outstanding, but I have no connection to the Meme token GOAT, no economic interest, and do not hold any of its tokens."
