The Solana Foundation exceeded a widely criticized announcement for being anti-Queer on Monday evening, almost nine o’clock after apparently invoking cultural wars as a mechanism to stimulate the attendance of the conference.
The now removed spot imagines “America” in therapy. A human incarnation of the nation wants to desperately think big – technology, crypto, space trips. But he cannot: his therapist wants him to “focus on pronouns” and “offer new sexes”.
“America, the figures are non -binary,” insists the therapist after having reprimanded his “rational thinking syndrome”. America finally ends and shouts: “I want to invent technologies, not sexes.
The fact that the Solana Foundation – a Swiss non -profit organization whose mission is to evangelize Solana’s blockchain – would call on right discussion points to promote its first American conference sparked immediate controversy. Certain influential voices in Solanaland called him Pandering; Others, offensive.
It is also an overthrow for an organization which previously called the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) part of its “fundamental values” and insisted that the participants in its flagship event show the others, whatever gender.
Only a few weeks before President Donald Trump resumed the White House in part on an anti-Trans campaign, the Foundation organized a conference in Singapore. The code of conduct of the event has prohibited “a deliberate verbal or physical intimidation” based on “gender”, “identity and expression of gender”, or other traits often grouped with Dei. He threatened infractors by ejection and the ban on attending future events.
“The Solana Foundation is attached to the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion and respect,” says the code of conduct.
It is not clear if the advertising strategy of the Solana foundation also a change in its “fundamental values”. Coindesk could not immediately locate the code of conduct for the next event. A representative of the Solana Foundation did not return a request for comments.
Be that as it may, the announcement threatened to push crypto more deeply into partisan policy that many of the industry are uncomfortable.
The adoption of the cryptography industry towards President Trump had previously been an exercise in unique alignment: Trump promised to kiss the crypto, and the high thieves of the industry hugged it. The arrangement has given way so that supporters also work alongside Democrats, and many did it.
This good deal can start to collapse if the crypto loses its ostensible bipartisan sparkle.
