The Solana Foundation nixed an ad widely criticized for being anti-queer on Monday, about nine hours after seemingly inviting cultural wars as a mechanism to boost conference attendance.
The place removed today thinks “America” in therapy. A person who symbolizes the country wants to think big – about tech, crypto, space travel. But he didn’t: his therapist wanted him to “focus on pronouns” and to “come to new genders.”
“America, the numbers are not binary,” the therapist insisted after chiding his “rational thinking syndrome.” Eventually the American shouted and shouted, “I want to invent technologies, not genders.
That Solana Foundation-a Swiss nonprofit whose mission is to evangelize Solana’s blockchain-will call the points talking to the right wing to promote the first US conference resulted in immediate controversy. Some influential voices inside Solanaland called it Pandering;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; different, It hurts.
It is also a return -a return for an organization that has previously been called differences, equity and integration (DEI) part of the “basic values” and asserted that attendees of its chief ship show respect for others regardless of gender.
A few weeks before President Donald Trump recovered the White House in part in an anti-transit campaign, the foundation held a conference in Singapore. The event’s behavior code is forbidden to be “deliberate verbal or physical intimidation” based on “gender,” “gender identity and expression,” or other habits that often sink to Dei. It threatened infractors with ejection and ban from attending future events.
“The Solana Foundation focuses on the principles of difference -different, equity, integration, and respect,” the Read the code of behavior.
It is unclear whether the ad of the solana foundation ad also describes a transfer to “basic values.” CoinDesk will not immediately find the behavior code for the upcoming event. A representative for the Solana Foundation did not return a request for comment.
Regardless, the ad threatened to push the crypto deeper into partisan politics than many in the industry are comfortable.
The embrace of the crypto industry with President Trump has previously been a single issue alignment exercise: Trump promised to embrace the crypto, and the industry’s high-rollers hug him back. The arrangement left the room for proponents to work with the Democrats, and many had.
That bargain can start to fall if its crypto bipartisan Sheen is missing.
