“But when we think about it from a gambling perspective, we were yes, gambling, but the dice was equipped,” he added. “And you’re watching a lot of Memecoin launches, but they were equipped to those who bought them in the first place.”

The market has seen “that wash,” so Turner considers it to be extremely healthy for “where we are the industry.” Referring to the launch of a particular memocoin and the subsequent lagpur, he said he thinks “back to the point where we’re building something meaningful.”

“And I think everything we do in this industry is a lesson we’ve learned,” he added. “You can see how people interact with technology, the demand just for launching new assets, the platforms you can do that, and if there is, I think the experience is great.”

Speaking specifically in Messari about the increased impact of artificial intelligence (AI), Turner said:

“I think I’ve been somewhat overwhelmed by seeing where today’s AI and Crypto overlap today,” Turner said. “There’s something really interesting that can make AI infrastructure even better. I’m still waiting to see what my mind actually blows away what’s in motion.”
