Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin Conference impacts market sentiment

Former President Donald Trump was one of the key speakers during the Bitcoin Conference. Others included presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Microstrategy’s Michael Saylor, and ARK’s CEO Cathie Woods.

Trump’s continued support for BTC and his wish to make crypto a strategic reserve for the U.S. has been gaining attention from crypto enthusiasts. In his speech on July 27, Trump mentioned his plans to make the U.S. the capital of crypto on the planet. 

Trump suggested that Bitcoin would eventually overthrow gold. The former president also presented BTC as a technological marvel and a ‘miracle of cooperation and human achievement.’ He criticized the government’s decision to sell its BTC. Trump then promised to fire the U.S. SEC chair, Gary Gensler, when re-elected.

Kennedy Jr. is skeptical about Trump’s support for BTC

Presidential candidate RFK Jr. expressed his doubt about Trump’s support for BTC. In his July 26th speech at the Bitcoin Conference, Kennedy Jr. mentioned Trump’s previous stance on Bitcoin. The former president has revealed several times his negative stance on BTC. 

In 2019, he tweeted that he was not a fan of Bitcoin and other crypto that aren’t money and based on ‘thin air.’ Kennedy Jr.’s speech also highlighted the former president’s mention of BTC looking like a scam in 2021.

RFK Jr. notably had pledges similar to Trump’s on July 27. As key figures influencing crypto, Kennedy Jr. and Trump believed the country should HODL BTC. 

Kennedy specifically mentioned transferring the 200,000+ BTC held by the U.S. DOJ to the Treasury on his first day if elected. Another plan Kennedy Jr. revealed was daily purchases of 550 BTC to increase the U.S. Treasury’s BTC holdings to 4 million.
