Austin Campbell, a prominent figure in the crypto community, has advised memecoin traders to divest from their holdings and invest in a Vanguard index fund instead, suggesting it would likely yield better returns. Campbell, associated with ZKZeroKnowledge and NYU Stern, expressed strong criticism of Coinbase's Base platform, labeling its handling of memecoins as both an "intellectual and moral failing." He equated memecoin trading to gambling, emphasizing that "the house always wins."
