Bio
- From Bitcoin.com (20-7-2024):
"After the attempt on former U.S. President and presidential candidate Donald Trump’s life in Pennsylvania, Selkis took to X, stating in a now-deleted post: “Anyone that votes against Trump at this point can die in a f—–g fire.” He added, “Literal war,” and later stated, “The Civil War for the country started today, and if you are anti-Trump you are against the men who are willing to fight. Good luck.” He continued: “If I were a Cultural Marxist hellbent on destroying the country, I would have weathered the storm. But I told the truth too many times and lost my temper after they tried to kill the President last Saturday.”
In his resignation explanation, Selkis announced that Eric Turner, his friend and colleague, will serve as interim CEO. Turner, a key contributor to Messari’s growth and development since its inception, is seen as a suitable successor. Selkis will become a Senior Advisor, staying actively involved in Messari’s long-term strategy. He expressed confidence in Turner’s leadership and the team’s ongoing success."
