The Bitcoin Conference 2024, the largest world’s Bitcoin conference, kicks off in Nashville later today. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will be its keynote speaker on Saturday. There are rumors that he will announce that Bitcoin will be transformed into a strategic reserve asset.
Meanwhile, the organizer of the conference, Bitcoin Magazine, denied rumors that the Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris would be speaking. “No surprise. What can she say to us when she’s actively imprisoning developers, forcing our industry overseas, attacking PoW… it would have been a disaster for her,” the CEO of Bitcoin Magazine David Bailey said.
“I gotta be honest, feels like Kamala should commute Ross Ulbricht’s sentence before addressing the Bitcoin community. That’s the tables stakes. Both Trump and RFK have promised to do that day 1,” Bailey said.
Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole under the Obama administration in 2015 for creating and operating the darknet market website Silk Road. This website sold drugs and other illegal goods.
“All eyes on Trump now. Choice is simple really, Trump Pump or Biden Dump?,” Bailey added.
Bitcoin may reach $100,000 “very soon” on expectations that the Republicans will win the US presidential elections in November, the CEO of CSOP Asset Management Ding Chen told Bloomberg earlier this week.
The price of Bitcoin fell 2.5 percent to $64,190 over the past 24 hours, Trading View’s Bitcoin chart shows, while ATTMO forecasts strong sun for Bitcoin for the next 24 hours, indicating upside potential and a bullish trend.
