Bitcoin Conference Lineup: Kamala Harris In Talks To Follow Trump, Kennedy Jr.

As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience in this industry, I’ve witnessed the constant ebb and flow of political figures expressing interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. However, their actions often speak louder than their words. When I first heard about Vice President Kamala Harris potentially speaking at the upcoming Bitcoin conference, my initial skepticism grew stronger with each passing day.


US Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly holding talks to feature in the speaker list at the forthcoming Bitcoin conference. This lineup already boasts prominent American presidential contenders, Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The highly-anticipated event, scheduled for July 25-27 in Nashville, is expected to be a significant gathering.

All 3 Presidential Candidates Could Woo Bitcoin Voters

David Bailey, head of Bitcoin Magazine and the conference organizer, revealed in a statement via X that negotiations are underway with Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign for her to address our conference. Such an appearance could shrewdly reposition the Democratic stance on the most dynamic voter demographic in the United States, as they make their decisions now.

Prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry have given varying responses to the possibility of Harris’ involvement. For instance, Tyler Winklevoss, the founder of Gemini exchange, voiced his doubt, stating, “Words are meaningless. Before gaining crypto community’s trust, she should dismiss Gary Gensler as head of SEC, reverse all enforcement actions against innocent actors, and abandon Operation Chokepoint 2.0. She won’t take these steps, so she can’t regain the support of the crypto voting bloc.”

Ram Ahluwalia, the CEO of Lumida Wealth, made some remarks regarding the changing political climate. He pointed out that “the Overton Window has shifted.” At the Bitcoin Conference, candidates Harris and another unnamed contender are attempting to gain favor with crypto enthusiasts. Both politicians have changed their stance on crypto issues for political convenience. If Biden and Harris truly intend to make a difference, Ahluwalia suggests they consider removing Chair Gensler from his position.

Wayne Vaughan offered a insightful observation, stating, “Democrats have spent the last four years attempting to undermine Bitcoin. Kamala Harris now intends to address The Bitcoin Conference out of necessity to avoid election defeat. Democrats covet the substantial funds raised by pro-crypto Political Action Committees; beware and cast your vote against them.”

David Gokhshtein, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency sphere, expressed his amusement with a touch of skepticism: “It’s amusing that Harris is addressing the Bitcoin conference. What do you think she’ll discuss? How the Biden administration and she attempted to suppress Bitcoin and digital currencies?”

Mark Cuban shared that Harris’ team has been inquiring about cryptocurrency, as he disclosed this on Tuesday. This development, according to Cuban, signifies a positive shift in Harris’ stance towards business, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and government services. However, it is essential to note that this information does not come directly from the Vice President herself.

Recent reports indicate that Kamala Harris may attend the Bitcoin conference following Donald Trump’s bold pro-Bitcoin and cryptocurrency declarations in the past few weeks. There are whispers that Trump will make a significant announcement, possibly recognizing Bitcoin as a national strategic reserve asset, during his keynote speech on the conference’s final day (Saturday).

At press time, BTC traded at $65,615.
