Trump’s Crypto Guru Bo Hines juggles dozens of job offers

In an interview Fortune From a Hotel Times Square, where Hines was staying when he was crossing New York for a day of meetings and job interviews, the former recipient of Yale said that he had already received more than 50 job offers since he officially canceled his role last Friday. He seriously envisages five, all in the cryptography sector, without immediate plans to regain a political career, he said.

At the White House, Hines helped to get a range of achievements, including a stable bill has been promulgated and a series of decrees related to blockchain, but its decision to leave marked an abrupt end to its short term in the Trump administration.

“Get out of a civil servant role, I deeply care about positioning the United States to be the leader here,” said Hines. “Entering the private sector, I have the impression that I can still have an important impact on how all this takes place during the next decade.”

The cryptographic capital

Before Hines started as executive director of the new administration of the President’s advisers on digital assets in January, Hines was a relative unknown on the national political scene.

He had presented himself without success as a republican candidate at the Congress in North Carolina twice and co -founded an investment company called NXUM Capital with his father, Todd Hines, and another partner. Bo hines directed The political unity of the operation, which leads one of its investments – an “anti -alarm” media organization called TODAY is America which has teamed up with excess efforts for the Trump campaign. NXUM also donated $ 1 million in Billboard advertisements to Maga Inc., one of the biggest Super CAP supported by Trump.

Although Hines tried the crypto, an interest he picked up after playing in Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl in 2014 university football, he became one of the most prominent characters in the industry after Trump’s appointment. The new president had promised to implement a program adapted to blockchain, by choosing Hines and the venture capital investor David Sacks to direct the initiative.

In his role, Hines met dozens of companies from companies like Andreessen Horowitz, Ripple and Bank of New York Mellon, serving as a bridge between the private sector, the congress and various agencies. Speaking from the Midtown Manhattan hotel at 10 a.m. with a lemon-lime Celsius in hand, Hines joked saying that the energy drink fueled the white house cryptography agenda, which has already produced new Stablecoin legislation and a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

“My number one goal was to keep the president’s promise to make the world capital of cryptography in the United States,” said Hines Fortune. “I think for the most part, we are there.”

However, he recognized that the work was not yet finished. Congress always debates large -scale legislation which would establish additional regulations on the functioning of cryptography markets. (He refused to give a percentage of chances that it will pass, saying that he thinks that “they will do it”.) Patrick Witt, who played the quarterrier in Yale before Hines begins at university and was the deputy of Hines in the White House, takes control of his role.

Following steps

Given its high -level Trump administration role, Hines will have its choice of jobs that leave the public sector. He said Fortune He does not intend to return full time to NXUM Capital, although he remains on the CAP table and “will contribute if necessary”. He also excluded the race for a siege of the Northern Carolina Senate after the Republican Thom Tillis announced that he would not ask for re -election, noting that Trump already supports the president of the National Republican Committee Michael Whatley.

While Hines will stay in the White House as a special employee – a part -time role – it will focus only on artificial intelligence and will not affect crypto. This allows him to pursue a career in the sector. He refused to appoint the companies for which he plans to work, only adding that he hopes to have a “clarity” in next week and assume executive level roles.

For the moment, he plans to spend more time at home in Charlotte, NC, with his wife and young son and keep a less chaotic schedule. “I can now exercise again,” he joked Fortune, “Instead of simply intermittent fasting all day.”
