Is the CIA really Solana’s secret backer?
There is a conspiracy theory circulating that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a secret backer of Solana. As the theory goes, Solana founder Anatoly Yakavenko is a Ukrainian immigrant to the US, and for that reason, might be easily swayed by a powerful government agency. Not only that, he’s not antisemitic and may even be Jewish himself. Given that speculation around Jewish control of various aspects of society is deeply rooted in conspiracy circles, this alone is enough to make claims about Yakavenko’s supposed CIA backing easier to swallow. Solana famously also sold early allocations of its native SOL token to groups of wealthy, well-connected, and powerful venture capitalists. This, according to the theory, violated the principles of the Cypherpunks and may well have been a way for the CIA to gain alliances at the upper echelons of society . This Solana – CIA connection is very disappointing. I was hoping for the Anunnaki or something cool like that. pic....
