President-elect Donald Trump’s appointment of David Sacks as White House AI & Crypto Czar has sent shockwaves throughout the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. As an early PayPal executive and member of the influential “PayPal Mafia,” he brings substantial technology and entrepreneurial credentials to the role.
