Trump seems to be the one most Bitcoiners support.

I am honestly bored of the Trump and Bitcoin talk, but I can also admit that the Biden administration with Kamala Harris as vice has been anti-bitcoin for the most part of it. There has been to many policies designed to frustrate bitcoin mining, privacy and decentralization. It would have been an ironic surprise for her to speak at a bitcoin conference.

The 4 years of Trump was better than the last 4 years but was also not exactly pro-bitcoin. Leaving nothing to suggest that he will push the network forward if he wins.

Not only our forum, topics about Trump and bitcoin are flooding social networks, especially X, the social network where the majority of users are cryptocurrency investors.

Indeed, we have no guarantee that Trump will push the network forward if he is elected, but as you also acknowledge, the Biden administration is anti-bitcoin and Kamala Harris may maintain that position. The topic of Trump may become boring but clearly supporting him can create new opportunities for us beyond what the current administration is creating.

This is a big conference, the attendees are mostly strong bitcoin supporters, so let's wait and see what Trump will say and how people will react to it.

While Trump is happy to take money from suckers who will donate to his campaign in hopes of special favors after he's elected, the "Bitcoin vote" doesn't exist in any significant quantity in this election.

This year's election in the USA is going to be about abortion and whether it should remain legal like it has been or whether it should be criminalized nationwide.

Republicans think abortion is "baby murder", and would do anything to stop it, including voting for somebody who would ban Bitcoin that's what it took.

Democrats see the abortion criminalization Republicans want as a fundamental attack on their bodily autonomy, and more practically speaking, the end of safe sex in the United States because there's no recourse if one's birth control fails--so every act of sex in the country Republicans want must necessarily consider the possibility of there being a baby. And most people aren't in the position to have (another) baby. So hence Republicans are basically trying to... outlaw sex.

So it's "baby murder" versus the end of sex. Compared to those stakes, Bitcoin isn't even remotely on any voter's radar.

Kamala Harris just want to avoid unnecessary damage for her support before the election. She will choose events where she can show her strength, not weakness. In Bitcoin Conference, Kamala actually does not have good opportunity to deliver convincing speech and she will like fail against Donald Trump.

Smelling this risk is enough for Kamala to stay away from Bitcoin Conference this year because should never join it and say things oppositely to what she did previously months before taking over the nominee position from Joe Biden.

I am honestly bored of the Trump and Bitcoin talk, but I can also admit that the Biden administration with Kamala Harris as vice has been anti-bitcoin for the most part of it.

It's another reason Kamala should not join the conference, at least don't join it will help her to avoid additional damage on her election program for very last months before the election. She accept to give up this conference and only can hope that Trump won't successfully convince many participants there, but it's less likely Trump will fail with his speech ability.

[cabron]

If she speaks at the conference then she has to be in favor of BTC and otherwise, there is no reason for her to be there. Avoiding this event is better for her campaign than speaking at this conference. It's obviously for people who like BTC. It's not believable in any way if Kamala starts to become a Bitcoiner too.

A big percentage of US voters are crypto users so there's that which is like Trump securing his win. The social media people are just streaming Trump.

[Wakate]

For now, we can all see that she has no interest in supporting Bitcoin and we are not surprised about that. We are going to keep supporting the candidates that want to see cryptocurrency surge high and have lots of adoption. There had been speculations that she did not believe in Bitcoin and she has admitted that Bitcoin is for criminals which I think is quite wrong and that would not give us the interest to support her ambition. Whether she likes it or not, we can't be seeing other countries supporting the growth of Bitcoin while the United States is at far length. We'll going to see how this election is going to work out for her is she still insists to give a thumb for Bitcoin adoption.

[buwaytress]

Never in good taste to try and curry favour with someone, and then when it fails, turn on them. Come on, we're better than this, aren't we? If she were imprisoning developers, why would you invite her in the first place?

Surely we're supposed to be better than this (I know we're not, but heh).

There are many versions of the story about her invitation and later decline. But if she had accepted the invitation at first, it might indicate that she might not be as strict as Joe Biden. I believe she was advised not to attend because sharing the same podium with Donald Trump can harm her reputation the way it happened to Joe Biden. She knows little about Bitcoin, so she might end up speaking ignorantly which will not be too good.

It could also be that she doesn't want to mend fences with the crypto community because she is not a supporter of the technology. If this was the case, then the crypto industry should be prepared for harsher policies if she eventually wins. It will be nice to hear what Trump wants to say in the conference.

[un_rank]

The topic of Trump may become boring but clearly supporting him can create new opportunities for us beyond what the current administration is creating.

The way I see it now, it is Trump who needs Bitcoin more. It fits into the attempt to sell himself as a progressive candidate. Bitcoin will be fine for 4 years whoever is the president during that period.

It's another reason Kamala should not join the conference, at least don't join it will help her to avoid additional damage on her election program for very last months before the election.

She should have not been invited at all, except it was an attempt to hurt her campaign by asking her some tough, difficult to get out of questions.

There was nothing that she was going to say that'll convince us to support her as she didn't show any interest in Bitcoin from the beginning. It was always Donald Trump that has been saying good things about Bitcoin and I can't wait to hear him speak at the conference. I don't have the chance to attend but I'll be watching on the internet and I am hoping that everything he says be something worth believing in and gains alot of supporters for him Trump isn't going to throw saw this opportunity of him becoming a US president again. They didn't allow him to finish his last tenor and he probably will have some unfinished business that he will have to handle.

I agree. This looks like a money grab by the organizers. They want to kiss everyone's asses so much only to get their names on the list. Since inviting Trump paid off, why not invite Kamala, right? While we're at it, let's invite Brad Sherman and Elizabeth Warren. There's freedom of speech. If people like that want to attend and speak their mind they should be allowed to do so, but I wouldn't invite them.

I like politics, but I feel like we could use less politics in bitcoin.

[348Judah]

When it comes to bitcoin adoption, some will by theirself willingly succumb to the decentralized network with bitcoin because its going to get to a stage whereby they can't do without the need of the influence from the bitcoin community, if what makes someone like trump to back off the anti-bitcoin attack on bitcoin and support for it use, then any other person can change and anything is willing or possible to happen in regards to change over anyone's take on bitcoin.

The fact that he wasn't a Pro-Bitcoin supporter duruing his tenure doesn't mean he isn't now. Bitcoin have come a long way in the last 4 years, withstanding plenty of attacks even though the policies have been terrible to say the least. I know politicians usually lie during their campaigns and flip upon winning but it's worth noting that among all recent US president, Trump has been the most informed about crypto. I think the guy already has about 3 NFT collections so far.

Dude! Give it a rest! This is a BITCOIN topic!

With politicians or not, bitcoin market continues to exist. However, with the endorsement of the next US President would create further demand and so the increase of price is imminent. Trump may be pro-crypto but once he is elected, do you really think it would be easy to pass a crypto-related bill?

At the end of the day, whether the leader is pro-crypto or not, you are the one shaping your life and so it is still on you how you will deal with your everyday life to improve your economic status.

[uneng]

Lol, to speak anything at a conference anyone can do, especially a candidate during the elections. So much adulation on Trump by crypto community these days, as if he had given any contribution to Bitcoin adoption and acceptance during his previous government. Not only he didn't give a shit about Bitcoin, as he also spoke against Bitcoin. But these sockpuppets just ignore the facts. The search for the truth doesn't mean anything these days. This circus is just ridiculous.

So called social influencers leading a mass of sheep directly to the slaughterhouse voluntarily. These fools are trying to create a kind of Holy Trinity consisting of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Bitcoin.

[potatotom]

Yeah I do agree uneng...

However what we should not forget is that at least sows another seed of "safety" or perhaps "acceptance". I'm all in for Bitcoin going a bit more mainstream, it will be safer for all of us.

And then lightning please, the legal uncertainty pertaining lightning for private operators in the US has to stop!

I would rather call this conference "YUGE, the greatest bitcoin conference in the world. There is no conference that is bigger or better than the Bitcoin Conference here in beautiful Nashville" Hopefully you read that in Donald Trump's accent lmao.  We will see what he has to say at 2pm Central Time US coming live from Nashville, TN!

Not sure why Trump would go speak at a Bitcoin conference, which are mostly attended by libertarians, when he was loudly booed and jeered at the last libertarian conference he want to.

It would not be political suicide, but you would have to say it would be a very poor campaigning choice from Trump's staff. The news would be all over it.
