Better than Gensler but the regulatory environment around Bitcoin & most of crypto is kind at the moment any way. The Biden administration was hostile towards innovation, the Trump administration is kind to it. However the trade war means everything is down so short term it doesn’t matter who SEC chair is.

The way how it looks like especially that he is pro crypto then provably that he's really better than Gensler. But somehow its early to tell especially that we don't see him yet work with critical matters. What we all know that he's good for crypto. So let see if there are positive changes like they create a good move to adopt Bitcoin then implement something that beneficial to the whole community. Since if they can do that then there's provably no objection that Atkins is really more better than Gensler.

Biden administration is bad for crypto and they didn't spend any effort to know how useful Bitcoin for them also to people, they just shut it down and just ignore anything about Bitcoin since they may have another interest to protect that gives them more benefits.

I'm surprised we're still discussing about x is better than y because x is pro crypto/Bitcoin, then how about Trump? I see that many people are disappointed and regret for supporting him to be US president.

Let it be Paul Atkins, Gary Gensler or anyone else, we shouldn't let popular person to affect the market again.

At least don't be surprised If Paul Atkins did something bad to the economy or Bitcoin.

What I’d want to see from him is a push for clearer, more consistent rules around crypto. Like, make it easier for legit projects to operate without feeling like the SEC is a constant threat. And maybe finally approve more spot ETFs? Also, ending the whole “regulation by enforcement” vibe would be a good start

Congratulations to him on his appointment as the chairman of the American security and exchange commission even though he is pro crypto as stated earlier but personally speaking I don't see any new innovations that can be brought in by him because crypto currency has been made legal and has been officially registered with the sec so i done see the magic that he is going to crypto currency because as far as am concern crypto is a good season , maybe his appointment may mean well for the general American business environment but coming to crypto no much difference will be made

Regardless of his new appointment or position as of chairman of SEC it has no direct impact in the bitcoin market, bitcoin is now at 90k it has been on the green side since trump announced the 90 days tariff war seized, however Paul is known for his strictness yet I'm not expecting that this time because trump is the president and a crypto friendly president including Paul himself. I only seem positivity towards bitcoin for now.

The thing is whether we like it or not discussions like this will definitely arises, as bitcoin investors this things do not directly impact the bitcoin market but realistically they definitely have an impact on the price of bitcoin indirectly. This are people who make economical decisions and as such this decision have their effect on the market sentiment and the sentiment will in turn influence the price.

Right now the bitcoin market is pumping all because the market sentiment has shifted to been bullish with this mans appointment even if I know he can’t have much role to play in this administration but I think his friendly regulations which will most certainly not be affecting bitcoin but rather Altcoins will simply impact the cryptocurrency market sentiment and we could be seeing ups from.

But regardless no politician shouldn’t be trusted with bitcoin and the market can never be manipulated by any

Having a SEC chair that is kind to cryptocurrency means that is one less problem for the community. It is obvious that back in previous years, SEC were targeting a lot of crypto exchanges and projects and I do not believe it was for the greater good. They just really wanted to rattle the crypto community and benefit from imposing rules to these crypto projects. SEC having a chair that is kind to crypto does not guarantee bitcoin will always have an upward momentum but we can at least be confident that bitcoin and crypto will not be attacked for baseless reasons by the SEC no matter what happens in the economy that could affect bitcoin.

Yes, I think the bullishness we see today in the market is as a result of that news. I saw it midnight of today and I knew it was going to skyrocket Bitcoin price. Then Bitcoin was trading around $86k or so. From then till now as I type this it has done an extra $4k+ in less than 24hrs. I still think that Bitcoin hasn't fully reacted accordingly to that news. Perhaps in days to come we're likely to see sharp price movement upward and other recent fundamentals pushing price higher coming to play. This month and May look like they will be interesting times for Bitcoin.
