Why is it ironic that the head of one of the most important financial bodies in the country knows a good deal about different currencies and currency systems?

Because the organisation he heads is deliberately opaque on most things crypto and refuses to engage with companies like Coinbase that are trying to operate in this space.

Because he seemed to me like a nice guy genuinely excited about crypto and blockchain in general. He does touch on the topic of regulations but nothing in his lectures would make you think just a few years later he will be leading the SEC, cracking on crypto exchange companies and pushing on regulations with an iron fist.
