25.07.2024 8:00 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
The Bitcoin Conference in Nashville from July 25-27 is set to be a major event for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, featuring prominent speakers and significant discussions about Bitcoin’s future.
Former President Donald Trump’s participation has sparked interest and debate, especially given his evolving stance on cryptocurrencies.
Trump, who previously criticized Bitcoin and digital currencies, is now positioning himself as a “crypto candidate.” His campaign has started accepting various cryptocurrencies, and he’s expected to discuss his views on crypto at the conference.
Ticket prices for the event range from $700 to $21,000, with top-tier access costing up to $844,600. Trump’s vice presidential pick, Senator J.D. Vance, also supports cryptocurrencies and holds Bitcoin investments.
In addition to Trump, the conference will feature other notable figures including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who supports using blockchain for government transparency, and Vivek Ramaswamy, a former GOP presidential candidate with strong crypto views. Industry leaders such as Cathie Wood, Michael Saylor, and Edward Snowden will also be present.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who had been rumored to attend, will not be present. Her absence shifts focus to Trump and potential significant announcements, such as a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve, which could impact Bitcoin prices. Conference organizers are also concerned about Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road founder serving a life sentence, with some suggesting his case might be a topic of discussion.
