Trump to Speak at Bitcoin Conference in Nashville on July 27
The likely Republican candidate for US president will speak at the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee later this month, the conference organizer said. announced Wednesday.
Earlier, speculation about a Trump appearance grew when speakers told CoinDesk that their time slot had been reassigned to make room for what an email described as “a very special guest.”
Former President Trump will speak at 2 p.m. CT for 30 minutes on the final day of the conference, which will run from July 25-27, a conference spokesperson told CoinDesk.
Trump has been learning about Bitcoin and crypto rhetoric since coming out in favor of the industry at his NFT gala this spring. He has since incorporated pro-Bitcoin policies into the Republican Party’s core platform, casting a stark contrast with the Biden administration.
Trump’s upcoming speech will likely further burnish a self-proclaimed image as a crypto booster, despite previous doubts about the technology during his first administration. His appearance at the annual Bitcoin summit was widely expected.
