When a17z co-founder shaw announced the creation of a new ai token eliza, claiming it to be a real ai with no ties to its original creator, it sparked a massive price increase for the new token. numerous suspicious addresses quickly acquired substantial amounts of eliza ahead of the announcement. shaw's later comments, particularly in a twitter space where he dealt harshly with skeptics, deepened suspicion around the development of the new eliza and its ties to the original eliza token. the cryptocurrency community, already rife with skepticism, is currently saturated with conspiracy theories. there are numerous claims that the parties involved are trying to orchestrate malicious attacks, including the publication of false information and a highly suspicious increase in the price of the new token by certain addresses. all of this has led to widespread outrage and a significant sell-off on exchanges.
sara, an avid follower of ai in crypto, said, 'shaw's harsh treatment of critics in the twitter space was a major turn-off for the community. it felt a bit like a party trick gone wrong.' zane, who deals with cryptocurrency marketing, commented, 'the rapid sell-off suggests that the growth of eliza will take some extra time, as community consensus is extremely fragile. trust is everything.'
in the face of this turmoil, people are asking one critical question: will the new eliza token survive this storm? it’s too early to say, but we will continue tracking this situation closely.
