EXCERPTS:

Former Indiana GOP Rep. David McIntosh, who is now the president of the conservative Club for Growth, told the Washington Examiner that out of the leading vice presidential contenders in Trump world, Vance was perhaps the best choice for crypto.

“I think it’s a huge development,” he told the Washington Examiner. “J.D. in particular understands — because we had a good conversation on one of these trips with Trump — that it’s the internet all over again.”

McIntosh said that when he was in Congress in the 1990s, lawmakers purposely chose not to regulate the internet and as a result “innovation took off.” He sees the growing cryptocurrency space as the latest development that should be allowed to flourish in the same way the internet was.

“The blockchain and all the innovations from that have that same potential,” he said. “And Trump and J.D. understand that we want to keep the United States at the forefront of that.”
