Bitcoin 2024 will build on the success of the previous three conferences held in Miami. Bitcoin made headlines in 2021 when Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele declared Bitcoin legal tender. Bitcoin 2022 and Bitcoin 2023 continued this tradition, with some notable moments including US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. giving a powerful speech in support of the Bitcoin industry at Bitcoin 2023 .
This year, the conference moved from Miami to Nashville, reflecting its growing prominence. With both U.S. presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump set to speak, Bitcoin 2024 promises to be a pivotal event that has the potential to shape U.S. Bitcoin and The future of cryptocurrency policy
The inclusion of Donald Trump as a speaker is particularly notable given his recent commitment to the Bitcoin community. Last month, Trump met with representatives of major U.S. Bitcoin miners, including CleanSpark, Riot Platforms and others, pledging to support Bitcoin mining on the global stage and in Washington, DC. Bitcoin’s Future Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be made in the United States, while promising to protect the self-custody rights of the country’s 50 million cryptocurrency holders if elected president.
As Trump runs for president, his support for Bitcoin stands in stark contrast to the stance of his opponent, President Joe Biden, who has been less favorable to the cryptocurrency industry. Since Biden has yet to confirm his participation in Bitcoin 2024, the event is likely to highlight stark differences in the candidates’ attitudes toward Bitcoin.
