Donald Trump, the leading U.S. Presidential candidate, has confirmed his appearance and speech at the world’s largest Bitcoin conference. The event, Bitcoin 2024, will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, from July 25-27. This announcement is a big deal, marking a major milestone for the conference, known for its historic news and significant industry announcements.Â
Bitcoin 2024 aims to build on the success of its previous three conferences held in Miami. In 2021, Bitcoin made headlines when El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, declared Bitcoin legal tender during the event. Â
The following years continued this trend. Bitcoin 2022 and Bitcoin 2023 included key moments such as U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s strong support for the Bitcoin industry during his speech at Bitcoin 2023.Â
This year, the conference’s move from Miami to Nashville highlights its growing importance. With two U.S. Presidential candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, both scheduled to speak, Bitcoin 2024 is set to be a critical event. It may play a role in shaping the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency policy in the U.S.Â
Trump’s Support to Crypto CommunityÂ
Donald Trump’s inclusion as a speaker is particularly noteworthy due to his recent commitments to the Bitcoin community. Last month, Trump met with major U.S. Bitcoin miners, including representatives from CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, and others.Â
He pledged his support for Bitcoin mining both globally and in Washington, D.C. In May, Trump promised that if elected president, he would ensure the future of Bitcoin and crypto would be made in the USA. He also vowed to protect the right to self-custody for the nation’s 50 million crypto holders.Â
As Trump campaigns for the presidency, his support for Bitcoin stands in stark contrast to his opponent, President Joe Biden. Biden has been less favorable towards the cryptocurrency industry. With Biden yet to confirm his participation at Bitcoin 2024, the event may highlight the clear differences in the candidates’ approaches to Bitcoin.Â
