Trump courts cryptocurrency supporters with reported talks to speak at Bitcoin convention

Former president Donald Trump he is reportedly in talks to talk to the max Bitcoin conference of the year.

Two sources close to the matter said Axios on his expected presence. Trump has sought to court libertarians in recent months, notably by speaking at the Libertarian Party Convention in an attempt to earn their nomination. The conference will take place July 25-27 in Nashville, Tennessee, a week after the Republican National Convention.

The former president will join other notable names at the event, such as presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Senators Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has already spoken at the event.

Trump has sought to contrast himself with President Joe Biden by embracing cryptocurrency as a valid currency, in contrast to Biden’s skepticism. The move for the former president is a great turnaround since his first term.

“I will end Joe Biden’s war on cryptocurrencies,” the former president said at a recent rally in Wisconsin. “We will make sure the future of cryptocurrencies and the future of Bitcoin happen in America.”

In a lengthy speech, Tyler Winklevoss said that the Biden administration has “openly declared war on cryptocurrencies.”

“President Donald J. Trump is the pro-Bitcoin, pro-cryptocurrency, pro-business choice,” he said. “This is not even remotely open to debate. Anyone who tells you otherwise is grossly misinformed, delusional, or not telling the truth. It’s time to take back our country. It’s time for the cryptocurrency army to send a message to Washington. Attacking us is political suicide. This is why I will vote for President Trump in November, and I hope you will too. After you!”
