The annual crypto gathering just got a whole lot wilder with Trump making a grand entrance and Harris nowhere in sight. This year’s Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville was anything but low-key. Let’s dive into the chaos that unfolded.
Trump Takes Center Stage
Charlene Brown showed up at the first full day of Bitcoin 2024 with two bold signs: “Orange Man Good” and “Bitcoin Don.” Yeah, you heard that right. The man himself, former President Donald Trump, is making waves in the Bitcoin scene. His sudden embrace of Bitcoin has the crypto community buzzing. Trump, who once wasn’t a fan, now promises to support Bitcoin mining and even make it part of the GOP’s 2024 platform.
Political Power Plays
This year’s event was packed with GOP power players. Trump is set to speak, along with Republican heavyweights like South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Pennsylvania Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, and Massachusetts Senate candidate John Deaton. Even crypto enthusiasts like Elon Musk and the Winklevoss twins are backing Trump’s pro-Bitcoin stance.
Harris’s Absence Noted
While Trump’s presence was a headline grabber, Kamala Harris’s absence was equally notable. Some in the community are holding out hope for Harris to make positive moves toward crypto, but for now, Trump’s support is stealing the spotlight.

A Divided Community
The Bitcoin community is split. Some are all in for Trump, seeing his support as a breath of fresh air compared to the Biden administration’s perceived crackdown on crypto. Others, however, are hesitant to fully embrace the MAGA movement, citing Trump’s other controversial views.
The annual crypto gathering this year was a rollercoaster of emotions and political statements. With Trump stepping up as a Bitcoin advocate and Harris’s absence leaving questions unanswered, the crypto world is watching closely. One thing’s for sure – Bitcoin 2024 will be remembered as the event where politics and crypto collided in a big way.
