 Yup. @BitcoinUniversity just mentioned this in his latest video he posted here as well. 
 I'd say it's good to aim to fire him. Altcoins now but they can target Bitcoin eventually. Furthermore, Gensler's tyranny also harms tech that isn't centered around "investment". Most infamously, LBRY. 
 are they not stopping huge flows from tons of funds/RIAs etc?  insofar as this was a NGU conference, i was under the impression that gensler/warren are restricting trading in bitcoin massively.   
 Shitcoiners conference. No doubt. Even if Gensler are bad for shitcoins, make noises to a promise of fire him is a demonstration of dumbness, of course he will be fired if trump wins. 
 I've been shouting from the rooftops for years that Gensler is a bitcoin maximalist that is obviously hodling. His actions, up until the eth ETF decision last month, have been totally consistent with ours.

I don't know if he was simply overrulled or somehow compromised on that decision, but either way he's not an effective shitcoin blocker for us anymore and I'm OK with seeing him go now.  
 I consider the two linked. Freedom go up must include number go up. You can't have freedom in the current system without also becoming wealthier. And enough of us have to get a seat at the table to make any real change, unfortunately. But yes, I also get the intent here. Free Ross should be more important than which goon is in charge of the goon squad.
