Several social media users have found the offensive and inappropriate work.
“It was only one sentence among many, but I will have it was a mistake and apologize,” said Pollak in a post of April 18 in relation to his decision to reshape a gif image that featured the expression “the base is for …” followed by a sequence of words, including controversial terms like “Mint” and “ideas”.
Pollak says he appreciates “provocative art”
Pollak pointed out that the work of art was made by a creator, not him, and specifically apologized for the image featuring the sentence “the base is for the pimps”.
Pollak said that even if he wanted to support the artists based on the basis and admits that he appreciates “provocative art”, he recognizes the need to be aware of his shared messages, especially when they seem to come directly from him.

Meanwhile, the commentator of the crypto David Z. Morris said that “does not hurt the basis, it hurts crypto.” Morris added:
“The specific allusion to sexual traffic (not” sex work “, pimping is a fairly fundamentally exploitation) is specifically bad for a sector which must advance the story that open finance is a net social positive.”
However, many have congratulated Pollak for the apology and its continuous efforts to push the limits of the cryptographic industry. “Like honesty. We all make mistakes, but this is how we grow up,” said Crypto Zuri commentator.
The co-founder without a bank David Hoffman said: “I respect management here.” The co-founder of Milk Road, Kyle Reidhead, said: “Do and share what you want without excuses.”
