Donald Trump will headline the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, marking a milestone for the cryptocurrency’s prominence. Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, joins a star-studded roster of speakers.
Thousands of crypto enthusiasts will gather in Nashville to discuss Bitcoin, marking a venue change from Miami. Bitcoin’s value surged over 140% since last May.
The conference, happening from July 25 to 27, will highlight the evolving makeup of attendees with more institutional investors due to recent Bitcoin ETF approvals.
Trump’s appearance emphasizes Bitcoin’s growing role in political discourse, an indication of its national importance. His speech could influence market movements if he reveals his crypto policy.
Political figures, including Senator Bill Hagerty and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, will discuss legislative implications for Bitcoin post-election.
Amidst the familiar faces like Michael Saylor and Cathie Wood, controversial attendees such as Russell Brand, recently accused of misconduct, are sparking debate over the event’s tone.
Despite the notable line-up, the absence of a major announcement like El Salvador’s 2021 BTC legal tender decision looms. The conference remains a significant media event, potentially broadening Bitcoin’s exposure.
