I don't buy the whole anti-Gensler sentiment... He certainly knows his stuff. His MIT lectures "Blockchain and money" are among the best on the topic out there.
I tend to think Gensler is good for Bitcoin and bad for shitcoins...
There is a quite reasonable explanation why he wasn't answering the mEth questions in the hearing straightly. That is, his agency is probably building a case against mEth.
You think he will stop at shitcoins...that's laughable. Maybe a few people here should read the "First they came" poem by M. Niemoller... ...it's quite relevant despite a multitude of the opposite opinions on this forum.
