Calacanis Brands Meme Coins a 'Giant Scam' Amid Record Q3 Gains
Silicon Valley angel investor Jason Calacanis has called meme coins a 'giant scam', dismissing them outright and warning his followers against private investment advice.
The comments come as Bitcoin and Ethereum cap off an extraordinary third quarter, with Bitcoin rising 43.5% to nearly $84,000 and Ethereum gaining 71% to over $2,708.
Calacanis built his reputation through early bets on Uber and Robinhood and has been vocal about the risks of speculative investments in crypto.
