Watch CNBC's full interview with SEC Chair Gary Gensler

[@aaag4268]

Joe is the only person in the room with common sense. It’s funny how the others almost team up against it

[@DZ-yk2ew]

Because he is massively ignorant about crypto. Notice how you didn’t have any actual argument against what Gensler said. Just your opinion about “common sense.”

[@robbetts]

I was thinking the same thing. He's the only one that seems to have done his homework and understands the asset class to the point of offering a much needed counterpoint.

[@jlvandat69]

Joe lacks basic understanding of crypto and fails regularly as a journalist by interrupting guests, thereby making the interviews chaotic and less productive. However, some viewers enjoy chaos and unprofessional behavior by a journalist = why CNBC keeps Joe on the payroll.

[@ericv4189]

@@DZ-yk2ew Joe gets the "what" and "why" but not the "how", like most people when it comes to tech. Most people have no clue how the internet works, but they know why it's important, more or less.

So his argument is that because it isn't widely adopted yet, it should be stopped from being widely adopted? Right, makes total sense Gary. He's right btw, finance does tend toward centralization since antiquity. Coincidentally, humanity hasn't had a truly decentralized money in all of its history until it was discovered in 2009.

Sorry BTC ain’t decentralized. And there’s no Santa Claus either.

[@mjoh090]

Two mining pools, Antpool and Foundry together own 53.4% of the global hashing power for Bitcoin - enough to initiate a fork / 51% attack. On that basis alone, bitcoin is indeed not decentralised. Bitcoins hashing power is in fact centralised within a small number of mining pools.

Joe was really great. Smart, educated and a well versed reporter. Sorkin is garbage and we already know Gensler is a lying manipulative wheel. I hope CNBC seriously looks at these comments and understand we come and watch for Joe. If Sorkin were removed, we'd all enjoy this content significantly more. Joe should be in charge of the interviewing and guiding questions - that is real, educated and leads to a great engaging conversation where the american people can understand the sides and make their own informed opinion. That is real journalism and the duty of the media.

Joe Kernan really lowers the intellectual level of discussion here, every time his reactions have no scholarly standards, just simplistic ideology. No nuance for that reactionary idealogue.

Whereas many other hosts and analysts on this network are brilliant, but have to pretend Joe Kernan is a colleague to be taken seriously. Chains of gold they wear.

[@jlvandat69]

Viewers would benefit tremendously if the producers would force Joe to stop interrupting guests and others. Those interruptions make it difficult for guests to fully explain their opinions/thoughts in a cohesive, articulate manner.

[@dentaldoc489]

Gensler says how can you trust an oracle for pricing? Well when the US government cannot be trust to give honest data on unemployment and inflation, how can we trust them to not constantly depreciate what the poor and middle class have to work 40 hours/week to obtain ($$$)? For example they define unemployment SOLELY on people applying for unemployment benefits. That means if you are no longer eligible for benefits (6 months max), then you are not counted as unemployed. the US government cannot be counted on to give inflation data either. They inflate the money supply (something we work hard to "obtain" by spending 8 hours/day at least and then they tax us 40% or more before we even see it, but that is another story), then give us data that exclude "volatile energy and other stuff". Well, just because energy costs go up, doesn't mean we can stop using energy. We will always feel inflation is higher than their data shows because their corrupt data system excludes whatever is "volatile" at the moment. But who can stop eating and using energy and housing because it is expensive? They are the ones inflating and then they give us data that says inflation is lower (conveniently leaving out whatever they are causing to violently inflate).

I feel that Joe was on point with all his rebuttals. Based just on this interview, not having heard him in any other occasion, I don't get why some of the commentators believe he lacks an understanding of crypto. One might like or dislike the principles behind crypto, but it's obvious that Gensler has an agenda and did not have a convincing argument. His axiom that "finance has a natural tendency to centralization", without any explanation, only sounds as a defense of the existing system and not as an economic principle. His one-sided indictment of all the crypto bankruptcies, which indeed impacted investors, while completely erasing from consideration the 2009 financial crises, which impacted the livelihood of uncountably many more people, enriching the Jamie Dimons of the world, would not have gone unchallenged if doing so hadn't been against the personal interest of everyone in the panel.
