Recently, Ryan Selkis, the founder of Messari, posted a large number of intense "pro-Trump" remarks on social media, such as "Anyone who votes against Trump at this time may die in a damn fire" and "The civil war in this country has begun today. If you oppose Trump, you are against those who are willing to fight," and so on.
A member of the crypto community, @AdrianoFeria, questioned Ryan's remarks on civil war, stating that such incitement and self-destructive remarks are what every enemy of America would like to see. "These crazy remarks come from someone who is fortunate to live in America and has never personally experienced serious social unrest, violence, and war. This is extremely dangerous, irresponsible, un-American rhetoric, which is why the joint press conference between Trump and Biden should pour cold water on this absurd mindset."
Subsequently, Ryan asked Adriano Feria in another post whether he is a "US citizen or just a green card holder?" Adriano stated that he is a green card holder and is about to apply for citizenship. Ryan then replied, "I hope we send you back," stating that he is protected by constitutional rights but has no right to citizenship and hopes this situation continues.
By provoking remarks on the left-right civil war and anti-immigrant remarks, Ryan Selkis once again found himself at the center of the crypto public opinion, with industry practitioners stating that they will give up cooperation with Messari in the future.
This morning, Ryan Selkis stated that the Messari leadership has discussed these public remarks with him, expressing gratitude for the team's concerns and friendly assistance regarding his behavior. However, he is very busy this week and will soon address the issue of these inflammatory remarks.
However, perhaps no one believes that Ryan Selkis will stop this kind of rhetoric.

A few days ago, Ryan conducted a poll titled "Are my comments helpful or harmful to the political prospects of cryptocurrency?" The results showed that over 42% of people believed that these comments were beneficial to the political prospects of cryptocurrency. This undoubtedly provides Ryan with reasons to continue publishing related provocative comments, even though most of the voters were his fans.
Since the assassination attempt on Trump, Ryan Selkis has been commenting or retweeting political-related comments almost every minute. According to reports, from mid-June to July, Ryan averaged 117 posts per day, often posting between 3 am and 5 am New York time. Ryan also mentioned that he gets up early to gain an advantage over his competitors.
"I receive more malicious tweets from left-wing individuals than attacks on the next president by the Biden administration, who almost (intentionally?) assassinated the next president."
"I tweet from the rooftop, screaming in self-defense, and take the current political situation more seriously than the media."
"Some of my comments are for effect. People need to wake up and start fighting. If we don't do this through public engagement in information warfare, we are currently losing to cultural Marxists, and it will evolve into more violence."
"Nothing makes leftists and sympathizers of assassination go crazy more than comments."
Yesterday, Ryan Selkis even directly tagged U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, combining her photo with a photo of the Trump assassin, saying "Faces don't lie."
Ryan seems to want to become a cultural warrior, defending the ideal world in his heart. When someone asked him, "Your rhetoric is becoming more and more intense, when will it stop?" Ryan replied that it would stop when left-wing individuals stop trying to assassinate my choice for president, and when the media stops labeling Republicans provocatively to incite violence, "until then, everything remains the same."
Ryan is undoubtedly a single-issue voter and believes that Trump is superior to Biden on cryptocurrency issues.
This is not the first time Ryan Selkis' political comments have sparked social media controversy. In May, Molly Jane Zuckerman, an author at the cryptocurrency media Blockworks, published a column titled "Only Fools Vote Based on Cryptocurrency," with the subtitle "Americans should not prioritize their selfish economic interests over broader social and moral issues."
A Round of Fire, Russian-Canadian Vitalik Also Under AttackRyan Selkis' madness goes beyond producing radical posts, he also engages in personal attacks.
Recently, Ethereum founder Vitalik also published a blog post discussing which side voters should support. More and more cryptocurrency practitioners have begun to actively engage in politics, almost entirely based on the political party and candidates' attitudes towards "cryptocurrency." Vitalik opposes this trend, believing it may contradict the original intention and values that led you to enter the cryptocurrency field.
Profit-driven crypto community votes easily obtained? Vitalik urges not to choose a political stance based on supporting cryptocurrency.
Furthermore, Vitalik believes that the crypto industry has a unique international nature, so immigration law is also a crypto law to some extent. This sharply contrasts with Ryan Selkis' claim that green card holders are not eligible for citizenship.
Vitalik also cited an example to support his view. In a recent event, EthCC, many people were unable to attend due to a lack of Schengen visas. Visa availability is a key consideration when choosing locations for events like Devcon, and in this aspect, the U.S.'s performance is also unsatisfactory.
However, Ryan's response to this was, "I respect Vitalik, but he should stick to educating black-faced Trudeau. He is a Canadian who does not understand or appreciate U.S. rights laws and the Constitution. Immigrating from Russia and converting to Canadian progressivism should not influence American voters."
In response to Vitalik's article, Ryan continues to voice his opposing views.
"I want to state that I choose my political stance based on the following criteria: who is capable of being the commander-in-chief, who can be accountable to the staff, and who does not lead the most corrupt government in modern American history. I also appreciate Trump's evolution in cryptocurrency."
"I respect Vitalik, but he has always been one of the most naive and useless political commentators in the cryptocurrency field. Idealism is not realism, and he pretends that we are not facing the invasion of cultural cancer and Marxism."
"I bet that, in terms of intelligence, Vitalik will not debate me on political realism because he knows the result of the debate will expose how little he knows about politics beyond textbooks."
Whether Vitalik will actually debate with Ryan remains uncertain, but netizens sarcastically comment that Ryan is currently a MAGA bootlicker, which is quite amusing.
