The Bitcoin Convention, a traditionally well-liked crypto occasion, is slated to kick off in lower than two weeks.
Former President Donald Trump will still deliver an in-person speech at an upcoming Bitcoin convention in Nashville, just hours after surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Bitcoin Convention, a traditionally well-liked crypto event, is slated to kick off in less than two weeks. While unable to discuss specifics, BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey told Decrypt that event organizers are now anticipating additional security measures at the convention where Trump will be featured as a key speaker.
“We’re proud to host [Trump] and to share the solidarity of the worldwide Bitcoin community,” the convention’s official Twitter (aka X) account said Sunday. Organizers added that they “are actively engaged with our security teams and are fully cooperating with all of the relevant parties to ensure a safe event.”
The re-affirmation of Trump’s attendance follows a failed assassination attempt on the former president at a political rally in Pennsylvania Saturday, which abruptly cast uncertainty over the 2024 presidential race. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, was quickly rushed away by the Secret Service in an armored car following the shooting. The FBI has identified the gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Questions immediately arose regarding upcoming campaign stops for Trump, including one of Bitcoiners’ most celebrated annual gatherings. After around 12,000 attendees from across the globe flocked to last year’s convention in Miami, the upcoming scene in Nashville is expected to draw around 20,000 people this time around, Bailey told Decrypt in a written statement.
“I’ve just spoken with the President’s team,” Bailey tweeted Sunday. “He’s in good spirits and is excited to see you all in Nashville and deliver a speech that’s heard all over the world.”
Last year’s Bitcoin convention saw participation from several crypto-friendly voices in politics, including the independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Republican Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
This year, Kennedy is slated to return alongside Lummis, with Tennessee’s Republican Senators, Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty, also expected to appear. On top of that, the onetime presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy is expected to speak at the convention.
