Bitcoin 2024 will build on the success of the previous three conferences held in Miami. Bitcoin 2021 made headlines when El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele declared Bitcoin legal tender. Bitcoin 2022 and Bitcoin 2023 will continue the tradition, with notable moments such as US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s powerful speech in support of the Bitcoin industry at Bitcoin 2023.
This year, the conference’s move from Miami to Nashville reflects its growing prominence. With two U.S. presidential candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, both scheduled to speak, Bitcoin 2024 is poised to be a pivotal event that could shape the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency policy in the U.S.
The inclusion of Donald Trump as a speaker is particularly notable given his recent commitments to the Bitcoin community. monthTrump met with major US Bitcoin miners, including representatives from CleanSpark, Riot Platforms and more, and pledged his support for Bitcoin mining both on the world stage and in Washington, D.C. In May, Trump said He would ensure that the future of Bitcoin and crypto is created in the US, while also promising to protect the right to self-custody of the country’s 50 million crypto owners, if elected president.
As Trump vie for president, his support for Bitcoin stands in stark contrast to the stance of his opponent, President Joe Biden, who has taken a less positive view of the cryptocurrency industry. With Biden yet to confirm his participation in Bitcoin 2024, the event could highlight the stark differences in the candidates’ approaches to Bitcoin.
