An ugly culture war has broken out in crypto. Why? By ConnorSephton:
They're not the first, and they won't be the last. But the stories of Brantly Millegan and Ashni Christensen are especially significant because of how they expose an ugly culture war that's being battled out on Crypto Twitter as we speak.— suffered a fierce backlash when a tweet he wrote in 2016 resurfaced. In it, he declared:
Unable to post on Twitter because his account was suspended, a message from Millegan started doing the rounds where he stressed that he had never excluded anyone from his personal or professional life because of who they are or what they believed. But by then, the damage was done — and machinations were in action to strip him of his leadership roles.
One question concerns why these old tweets emerged now — and whether their past posts were being weaponized against them.Some in the space believe this is a sign that "cancel culture" is beginning to make its presence felt in the industry — where people are shamed for their past behavior, and effectively made unemployable.
Some of those who lament his ousting argue that he had a right to express his religious beliefs — that views like his are shared by millions of others around the world — and this amounts to censorship. But it isn't his Catholicism that caused this firestorm, it was the provocative nature of his tweet — and the way he so fiercely defended it when confronted.
When we wrote about these incidents earlier this month, a common response was "who cares?" — with others branding CoinMarketCap as woke.
