SEC Chair Gary Gensler<\/a> finally reveals his stance on Bitcoin by saying he doesn't support its “off-the-grid” approach to finance.<\/p>\n

“In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote this paper in part as a reaction, an off-the-grid type of approach. It\u2019s not surprising that there\u2019s some competition that you and I don\u2019t support but that\u2019s trying to undermine that worldwide consensus.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given Gensler's experience teaching blockchain technology at MIT, many billed him as the “right choice” to lead the securities regulator. But coming up to eight months<\/a> since being sworn in, and it's fair to say his tenure to date hasn't advanced the cryptocurrency sector how many imagined.<\/p>\n

More so, his recent comment above demonstrates that his allegiance lies with the legacy sector. But is this a surprise at all?<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is the competition to the banking sector<\/h2>\n

Speaking at Wednesday's Digital Asset Compliance & Market Integrity (DACOM) Summit<\/a>, Gensler said the current banking system is the culmination of 40 years of tweaking.<\/p>\n

“We layered over our digital money system about 40 years ago with money laundering and various sanctions and regimes around the globe; we layered that over a digital currency system called our banking system.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He went on to say that Bitcoin launched, in 2008, as a reaction to the banking system. Adding that, he doesn't support this “off-the-grid” approach as it undermines the banking consensus.<\/p>\n

However, Satoshi Nakamoto<\/a> said Bitcoin is necessary as an alternative to a system of currency debasement. In effect implying central banks do not operate in the people's interest.<\/p>\n

“The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first BTC transaction, made on January 3, 2009, included a message about the UK Chancellor's decision to bail out the Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds, Bradford & Bingley, and Northern Rock.<\/p>\n

Gensler was supposed to be “the one”<\/h2>\n

Crypto markets were optimistic over Gensler's appointment as SEC Chair in March. IOHK CEO Charles Hoskinson<\/a> said it bodes well that he understands the blockchain space.<\/p>\n

“The thing I like about the appointment of Gensler is that he is competent. He\u2019s clearly a very smart guy and he fully understands our industry to the extent that he taught at MIT on our industry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, Gensler's unwillingness to end the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, plus a litany of similar incidents, including calls for greater oversight<\/a>, demonstrates, at the least, he isn't for free-market cryptocurrency reform.<\/p>\n

Gensler has always maintained that his role is to protect retail investors from fraud and manipulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
