Solana reserve company Forward Industries ( stock code FORD) chairman and Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani has sparked controversy again.

Meanwhile, the company’s stock price has fallen 73% from its peak, and mNAV has long been below 1.

VC Ulong PR Show: Samani's Promotion Turns into a Controversial Joke

Samani posted yesterday, wanting to shoot a video to showcase the convenience of “even when the U.S. stock market is closed, Solana continues to operate.” In the video, he simply opens his Phantom wallet and demonstrates how to purchase $10 worth of SOL, repeatedly treating selling as buying, and finally converting the SOL into USDC.

Interestingly, the video was not only not re-shot, but was also directly uploaded to the community, immediately provoking ridicule from the crypto community: “These investors have never even used the products they invested in.”

They criticize these sharply dressed baby boom VC's for only knowing how to market to retail investors, especially since Samani is generally regarded as a crypto native user, which makes this blunder even more disheartening.

From “faith leader” to “confidence crisis”

Kyle Samani has always been regarded as an important promoter and believer in the Solana ecosystem.
