My Take
Gary Gensler intrigues me as the ultimate insider turned watchdog. After years at Goldman Sachs, he chaired the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2021 to 2025, bringing a banker's intimate knowledge to the job of policing markets, especially the volatile world of crypto. There is something both reassuring and unnerving about a regulator who knows exactly where the bodies are buried. His tenure drew strong opinions on every side, yet I appreciate officials willing to make hard, contested calls rather than coast. Love him or loathe him, Gensler treated financial oversight as a serious responsibility, and that conviction commands my attention.
