Donald Trump Confirmed as Keynote Speaker at Bitcoin 2024 Conference

Former US President Donald Trump has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 Conference. Scheduled to take place from July 25-27 in Nashville, Tennessee, this announcement was made by Bitcoin Magazine, the organizer of what is recognized as the world's largest Bitcoin conference.

Former US President Donald Trump will be a keynote speaker at Bitcoin 2024, the world’s largest Bitcoin conference.

The Trump Organization confirmed the news to Bitcoin Magazine on Wednesday. Trump will speak for 30 minutes on the final day of the conference (July 27) at 2 p.m. CT in the main arena at Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Bitcoin 2024 is set to take place from July 25-27 and will feature two US Presidential candidates, Kennedy and Trump, set to speak at the Bitcoin event, which could largely influence future BTC and crypto policy in the United States.

Trump’s inclusion as a speaker is especially significant considering his recent engagements and commitments to the BTC community. Over the past several months, Trump has notably shifted his stance on cryptocurrency, largely embracing a pro-Bitcoin agenda.

Last month, he met with major U.S. miners and pledged his support to have “all remaining” BTC mined in the U.S. He also stated, “I will ensure that the future of Bitcoin and crypto will be made in the USA,” and promised to uphold the right to self-custody for the nation’s estimated 50 million crypto holders if he is elected president.

The response from the industry was a mix of anticipation and skepticism. David Bailey, Bitcoin Magazine’s CEO, said via Twitter, “July 27th we change the course of history.”

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, a leading provider of on-chain and market data analytics, also took to Twitter to comment and skeptically questioned the motives of Trump’s speech: “Is this a strategy to gain votes, or a genuine effort to make the United States a #Bitcoin nation? Anyone?”

Gabor Gurbacs, founder of PointsVille and strategist at Tether, had a more politically charged response: “If Trump wins the election, America will grow two large orange balls. It’s time for America to get its balls back anyway.”

Matthew Pines, director at Sentinel One, highlighted the potential broader implications of a Trump administration on global markets: “I don't think most ‘serious’ macro analysts have given enough thought to just how bonkers a Trump administration would be for Bitcoin and attendant cascading geopolitical + monetary impacts.”

Zack Guzmán, an award-winning journalist, briefly summed up the high stakes and major promises associated with Trump’s participation: “CONFIRMED: Trump will speak at Bitcoin’s largest conference in Nashville – Expected to triple down on freeing Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht – Expected to (re)commit to banning a US CBDC – Expected to (re)affirm a right to self custody and mine Bitcoin in the USA. HUGE.”

Bitcoin is currently trading at $57,900 at press time.
