Donald Trump To Deliver Keynote At Bitcoin Conference: Industry Experts React

As a seasoned crypto investor, I’m keeping a close eye on the latest developments in the Bitcoin community, especially when it comes to high-profile events and speakers. The confirmation that former US President Donald Trump will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville is certainly an intriguing development.


I, as an analyst, can share that the Bitcoin 2024 Conference, known for being the biggest Bitcoin event globally, has announced former US President Donald Trump as their keynote speaker. This conference will run from July 25-27 in Nashville, Tennessee. The news was officially revealed by Bitcoin Magazine, the conference organizer.

Trump To Speak At Bitcoin 2024

The organizers informed via email at noon on Wednesday that several speeches on the agenda have been rescheduled in view of a new “very special guest.” Trump’s 30-minzte speech is scheduled for the final day of the conference (July 27) at 2 pm CT. In a press release, Bitcoin Magazine declared, “President Donald Trump has been officially announced as a speaker at Bitcoin 2024. This announcement marks a significant milestone for the event, which has earned a reputation for historic news and major industry announcements.”

Throughout its history, this conference has served as a venue for significant announcements. Notable examples include El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele declaring Bitcoin legal tender in 2021. The tradition of major moments continued with US Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s strong endorsement of the industry during the 2023 conference.

As aanalyst, I’d rephrase it this way: This year’s conference, moving from Miami to Nashville, brings together two prominent US political figures, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, who are scheduled to deliver speeches. The significance of this event lies in its potential impact on shaping future Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency regulations within the United States.

It’s worth mentioning that Donald Trump’s participation as a speaker is quite remarkable considering his latest activities and pledges towards the Bitcoin community. Over the past few months, Trump has shown a marked change in attitude towards cryptocurrencies, becoming increasingly supportive of Bitcoin.

Last month, he held meetings with significant US bitcoin miners and declared his commitment to extract “all remaining” Bitcoin within the US borders. He went on to state, “The future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency will be shaped in America,” emphasizing his intention to safeguard the right to self-custody for the country’s approximate 50 million crypto users if he gets elected as president.

Industry Reactions

Industry reactions have ranged from excitement to caution. According to David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, expressed through X on July 27th, “we’ll be making history.”

As a crypto investor and follower of market trends, I, Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, expressed my skepticism on social media platform X about President Trump’s unexpected announcement regarding Bitcoin. I questioned the true intentions behind his speech, asking: “Is this a political strategy to win votes or is it a genuine effort to establish the United States as a leading #Bitcoin nation? I wonder if anyone has clear answers.”

Gabor Gurbacs, the founder of PointsVille and a strategist at Tether, offered a more politically charged response: “Should Trump secure the election victory, America would gain two significant, orange orbs. It’s high time for America to regain its lost autonomy, regardless.”

Matthew Pines, Sentinel One’s director, highlighted the significant ripple effects of a Trump administration on global markets that some macro analysts may have overlooked: “I believe many seasoned market analysts have underestimated the potential chaos a Trump presidency could bring about for Bitcoin and the subsequent geopolitical and monetary repercussions.”

Zack Guzmán, a distinguished journalist, clearly conveyed the importance and potential implications of Trump’s attendance: “Trump confirmed for Bitcoin’s major event in Nashville – Ross Ulbricht’s release from prison might be reinforced, US CBDC ban reaffirmed, self-custody and American Bitcoin mining support expressed.”

At press time, BTC traded at $57,900.
