President-elect Trump made a rather surprising choice when appointing Mulvaney. Until that moment, not many considered Mick Mulvaney an option. But Trump feels that Mulvaney is the right choice.

Of note: Mulvaney is not a big fan of the Federal Reserve, and is Very Pro-Bitcoin.

This will echo in a large way with the Crypto / Bitcoin and Blockchain community!

Late yesterday, (Dec. 19th, 2016) - Trump tapped Congressman Mick Mulvaney, Tea Party Republican, as his administration's Director of Office of Management and Budget. He's a hardline fiscal conservative wanting to drastically cut federal spending on social programs.

This past September he was a founding member of the bipartisan Blockchain Caucus, aka the "Bitcoin Caucus" : Meant to help congress remain current on crypto / blockchain technologies / currency, & develop policies to advance them.
