Kamala Harris to Join Bitcoin Conference with Trump

US Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly in discussions to join the speaker lineup at the upcoming Bitcoin conference, which already features leading presidential candidates Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The event, scheduled in Nashville from July 25-27, promises to be a major attraction.

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and the event organizer, announced that Harris' team is in talks for her to speak at the conference. He stated, “It would be smart of her to reset the Democratic stance on the fastest-growing voter block. They’re deciding now.” Harris' possible participation has sparked mixed reactions within the crypto community. Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of the crypto exchange Gemini, expressed doubt, saying, “Talk is cheap. She needs to start by firing Gary Gensler, ending SEC actions against good actors, and stopping Operation Chokepoint 2.0. She won’t do this, so she won’t win back crypto voters. Time for change.”

Ram Ahluwalia, CEO of Lumida Wealth, commented on the changing political landscape. “THE OVERTON WINDOW HAS MOVED. Harris speaking at the Bitcoin Conference? Will the administration remove Chair Gensler? That’s what matters. Two Presidential Candidates are trying to win the crypto community’s support at the conference. Both have changed positions for political gain. If Biden & Harris are serious, they should remove Chair Gensler.”

Wayne Vaughan criticized the Democrats' approach to Bitcoin. He said, “Democrats spent years trying to destroy Bitcoin. Harris only wants to speak at the conference to avoid losing the election. They want money from pro-crypto PACs. Don’t be fooled. Vote them out.” David Gokhshtein humorously expressed his skepticism. “It’s funny Harris is speaking at the Bitcoin conference. What will she say? How did the Biden administration try to kill Bitcoin and crypto?”

This news comes after entrepreneur Mark Cuban revealed that Harris’ team had asked him about cryptocurrency. “I’m getting questions from her team about crypto,” Cuban said. “It’s a good sign. The feedback suggests she will be more open to business, AI, crypto, and government as a service.”

The potential addition of Harris follows Trump’s recent pro-Bitcoin and pro-crypto statements. Trump might announce BTC as a strategic reserve asset for the US during his keynote speech on the last day of the conference. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also scheduled to speak at the conference. His participation shows the growing importance of cryptocurrency in politics. Having top political figures at the Bitcoin conference highlights the influence of the crypto community and its impact on elections.

Harris' potential involvement is seen as a strategic move to engage with crypto voters. Her presence could signal a shift in the Democratic Party's view on cryptocurrency, especially if she addresses regulation and innovation. However, many in the crypto community remain skeptical, wanting real actions instead of just words.

The race to win over the crypto community is heating up among presidential candidates. With figures like Trump, Kennedy Jr., and possibly Harris speaking at the conference, cryptocurrency has become a key political issue. Candidates will continue to seek support from this influential voter group as the election nears.

The Bitcoin conference will be closely watched for speeches and announcements from these major political figures. The event will likely influence the future of cryptocurrency regulation and adoption in the US. Whether Harris, Trump, and Kennedy Jr. can sway the crypto community is uncertain, but their participation marks a significant moment in the intersection of politics and cryptocurrency.
