Former President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a potentially historic message in support of Bitcoin at an upcoming conference in Nashville. This represents a significant shift in Trump’s stance on cryptocurrency.
Trump Initially Dismissed Bitcoin as a “Scam”
In 2021, Trump referred to Bitcoin as a “scam” during an interview. This skepticism was common among many politicians at the time.
Bitcoin Conference Organizers Remained Hopeful
Despite Trump’s negative comments about Bitcoin in the past, organizers of the Nashville conference remained optimistic that Trump could turn into a supporter. They had apparently been in discussions with Trump about crypto policy prior to the event.
Investment Experts Note Bitcoin’s Newfound Legitimacy
While Bitcoin is no longer making daily headlines, experts say its reputation has improved recently. A decision by the SEC has given Bitcoin new legitimacy in the eyes of institutional investors.
Other Notable Speakers Will Also Attend
In addition to Trump, other high-profile speakers like Senators Blackburn and Hagerty will be featured at the conference. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is also scheduled to speak.
Trump’s Speech is Highly Anticipated
Trump’s speech on Saturday is expected to be supportive of Bitcoin, which would be a historic shift from his previous skepticism. The content remains a mystery other than to Trump himself. The Bitcoin community is eagerly anticipating Trump’s message.
