Yes.

>So by holding fiat, we could consider that skin in the game on some level.

Also yes. However, the leader of the fed is, for all intents and purposes, king fiat. There is no person with more interest in maintaining the current system than someone in charge of the fed.

Sure there is; Fed Chair is a job, not an investment, and its a job taken by people who are politically well connected and likely to get other jobs, should they want them, based on those connections.

There lots of people who have proportionately more to lose from problems in fiat than the fed chair.

So when you were asking for an expert with no skin in the game, that was more wishful thinking than anything about what's going on in the story.

That's all good. I was unsure about where you thought the line was as it gives context to that statement.
