He wrote on Oct. 31:<\/p>\n<p>Happy 14th birthday to Satoshi Nakamoto\u2019s whitepaper! It has led to innovation and crypto asset investing. Let\u2019s make sure as crypto enters its 15th year that investors get proper protection.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, his tweet has received nearly 2,500 comments and has been liked more than 5,200 times.<\/p>\n<p>While some people thanked him for recognizing Satoshi Nakamoto\u2019s seminal work, many claimed that the SEC boss doesn\u2019t have crypto\u2019s best interest in mind, with some accusing him of trolling. A few urged Gensler to clarify crypto regulation. Some slammed him for not approving a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) while others reminded him that he doesn\u2019t have jurisdiction over the crypto industry as Congress has not granted him the authority.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto lawyer and XRP supporter John Deaton replied to Gensler:<\/p>\n<p>Quit acting like you wouldn\u2019t hand Satoshi a subpoena if you could.<\/p>\n<p>Gensler has been criticized by lawmakers and industry participants for his enforcement-centric approach to regulating the crypto sector. Last month, he said he has asked SEC staff to fine-tune crypto compliance. He wants to regulate the crypto sector using \u201cone rule book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many people have urged him to provide clarity on crypto regulation but the SEC chief has insisted that the law is clear. He has stated on several occasions that bitcoin is a commodity while most other crypto tokens are securities.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about the comments by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler?
