<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some attribute the current positive sentiment to how the crypto community anticipated Donald Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin Conference 2024. The Bitcoin Conference 2024 took place in Nashville, Tennessee, from July 25 to 27, attracting global key figures and crypto enthusiasts.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former President Donald Trump was one of the <a href="https://b.tc/conference/2024/speakers" data-type="link" data-id="https://b.tc/conference/2024/speakers" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">key speakers</a> during the Bitcoin Conference. Others included presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Microstrategy’s Michael Saylor, and ARK’s CEO Cathie Woods.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
