Well, Gary is now a government official. So that means he's forced to spread negativism of Bitcoin. Else, he would risk losing his position as head of the SEC.
I think this is not right, if the government really hates bitcoin then why did they order him to approve bitcoin ETFs? I think what he said is just his personal opinion and no one forced him to say those things. Since even bitcoin investors have that mindset, I see many people complaining that using centralized platforms or institutions holding too much bitcoin will make bitcoin more centralized. So I think it's just that everyone's views and thoughts about bitcoin are different.
