I’m not sure if you would or should consider “ampdot” prominent, as far as I understand they have received EA funding for AI research, but I could definitely be wrong about that. They did a lot of memecoin promotion, as did their social circle. I’m not sure if they consider themselves an EA or just a rationalist.
In total I know of about 6? rationalist/EAs who ran memecoin pump and dumps, but would not call them prominent.
I don’t think sapph is trying to use these examples as persuasive evidence.
Can anyone point to any prominent EA promoting a cryptocurrency, full stop? I can’t ever remember this happening.
