Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, is now negotiating her participation at the Bitcoin conference. The event already boasts Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as speakers.
The event, slated to take place in Nashville on July 25-27, is expected to be a significant draw. David Bailey, the Chief Executive Officer of Bitcoin Magazine and the organizer of the event, disclosed that discussions are underway with Harris’ team regarding her potential participation as a speaker at the conference.
Harris’ potential involvement has elicited a range of responses within the cryptocurrency community. Tyler Winklevoss, one of the founders of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, expressed skepticism by emphasizing the importance of taking action rather than just talking.
Winklevoss suggested that the first step should be to dismiss Gary Gensler, put an end to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s actions against reputable individuals, and halt Operation Chokepoint 2.0.
Ram Ahluwalia, the CEO of Lumida Wealth, expressed his opinion on the evolving political environment, suggesting that if Biden and Harris are genuinely committed, they should dismiss Chair Gensler.
Wayne Vaughan expressed disapproval of the Democrats’ stance on Bitcoin, asserting that they have made sustained efforts to undermine the cryptocurrency.
Additionally, he claimed that Harris’s intention to speak at the conference is only motivated by a desire to avoid electoral defeat. David Gokhshtein amusingly conveyed his doubt, remarking on the irony of Harris being a speaker at the Bitcoin conference.
Trump’s recent endorsement of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies may lead to the inclusion of Harris, with the possibility of Trump declaring BTC as a strategic reserve asset for the US in his keynote speech. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is slated to deliver a speech at the conference, emphasizing the increasing significance of Bitcoin in the realm of politics.
Harris’ prospective participation is perceived as a calculated maneuver to connect with voters who are interested in bitcoin, indicating a change in the Democratic Party’s stance on digital currency.
This is particularly significant if she discusses matters related to regulation and technological advancement. Nevertheless, a significant portion of the crypto community maintains a skeptical stance, desiring tangible and concrete measures rather than mere verbal assurances.
