Former President Donald Trump is set to address the foreseeable Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, an event that's shaping up to be a nexus for both the tech-savvy and the politically inclined. Trump, who is also the presumptive Republican nominee for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, will be speaking on the last day of the conference—a slot confirmed by a spokesman to CoinDesk, generating a significant buzz within cryptocurrency circles.
According to WSMV, Trump is expected to elaborate on his stance towards Bitcoin and crypto, having just last month engaged with major U.S. Bitcoin miners and pledged to support Bitcoin mining not only globally but to also safeguard it in Washington, D.C. Moreover, he has publicly declared intentions to "ensure that the future of Bitcoin and crypto will be made in the USA," in a theme that appears to harmoniously coalesce with his political narrative.
In addition to Trump, the event will feature a medley of speakers such as the iconoclastic comedian Russell Brand, whistleblower Edward Snowden, and Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn. Environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also slated to address the conference, further diversifying the roster of voices that attendees will be privy to hear from July 25-27, as reported by WSMV.
Those interested can already secure their tickets, with different tiers on offer: from the $599 festival pass to the $10,999 whale pass. The conference schedule indicates an industry day on July 25, followed by two days of more general programming. Specifics about when precisely Trump will take the stage are, as of yet, clandestine and not disclosed on the conference's public itinerary, notes The Tennessean.
