Ryan Selkis, the founder and CEO of Messari, made several intense tweets on social media, including saying that those who oppose Trump "can go to hell" and implying that a civil war has begun, which has attracted widespread attention. His remarks have caused concern among his colleagues, and Messari's leadership has asked him to calm down.
Selkis's fiery comments include his reaction to the attempted assassination of Trump and his comments against immigration and the left. He also referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren as the "number one enemy" of cryptocurrency and suggested that she bears a resemblance to the attempted assassin of Trump. In addition, he threatened that Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler will soon be in jail.
Although Selkis admitted on Twitter that he was "too excited this week" and said he would soon resolve the issue, he did not significantly reduce the intensity of his remarks. Selkis emphasized self-defense and serious concern about the current political situation in his tweets.
This extreme rhetoric has raised widespread questions about his behavior as the CEO of an important cryptocurrency data platform, especially in the context of Messari receiving significant venture capital support.
