This is the guy that lost several hundred thousand dollars trying to time the market shorting crypto (as an enthusiast, I think you have to be crazy to use perpetual futures for anything except hedging strategies). Since then he has pivoted from being a journeyman actor to joining the anti-crypto speaking circuit. There are a lot of people in government that despise crypto, and these people get elevated at committee hearings, NYT articles, etc.

Also, I did not know this was a thing: > a 24-part online course on cryptocurrencies, taught by the current US Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler As much as I love the SEC, they're going to be ever slightly biased against crypto currencies...

  So, you're saying that understanding cryptocurrencies well enough to be able to teach a course about it (at MIT, no less) will bias one against it? Sounds reasonable to me.

    I was not saying that.
