Trump Shows Support for the Crypto Industry
Over the past few months, the Republican Party presidential nominee has been expressing strong support for the crypto and blockchain industry.
In June, Trump said during an event at Mar-a-Lago that he would advocate for Bitcoin mining if he is elected as the US President.
Back in May, he started accepting political donations in crypto, and his advocacy for the industry has earned him backing from important figures in the crypto industry, such as Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
Also, Ark Invest’s CEO Cathie Wood showed support for Trump.
Other US Politicians to Speak at Bitcoin 2024 Conference
According to the latest reports, other US politicians are also set to speak at Bitcoin 2024.
These reportedly include presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former presidential candidate Vives Ramaswamy, and Republican Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn.
It’s also worth noting that Kennedy Jr. has given a keynote speech at Bitcoin 2023 in support of crypto. He said that he would ensure people’s right to hold and use Bitcoin because it’s an inviolable right.
Also, back in April, he said that he wants to put the “US budget on blockchain”. He explained that he wants to make this move so that every American could look at every budget item in the entire budget anytime 24 hours a day.
Such a public accounting of spending would allow more transparency and accountability into how the US government spends taxpayer money.
