Bitcoin Conference Welcomes Trump's New Crypto Stance

Former President Donald Trump is set to speak at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. This event, starting tomorrow, is the world's largest annual celebration of Bitcoin. Trump, now a crypto enthusiast, will take the stage at 2 p. m. CT on July 27. This marks the first time a presidential candidate has attended the conference. Trump's shift to crypto support is a significant turnaround. Just a few years ago, he criticized Bitcoin, calling it a "scam against the U. S. dollar. " Now, his campaign accepts donations in various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, and Dogecoin. His running mate, Sen. J. D. Vance, also owns substantial Bitcoin holdings. The crypto community is curious about Trump's plans for supporting cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. He recently met with crypto miners, expressing his desire for all remaining Bitcoin to be created in the U. S. However, specific policy details remain unclear. Moe Vela, a crypto expert and former advisor to Joe Biden, believes Trump's appearance at the conference is strategic. He suggests Trump will likely say what the audience wants to hear. Nashville is buzzing with political activity. Besides Trump, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former GOP leader Vivek Ramaswamy will also discuss crypto at the conference. Prominent crypto advocates like Cathie Wood, Michael Saylor, and Edward Snowden are also attending.
