Kamala Harris

US Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly in discussions to join the speaker lineup at the upcoming Bitcoin conference, adding to the roster that already includes leading US presidential candidate Donald Trump and candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The conference, set to take place in Nashville from July 25-27, is anticipated to be a blockbuster event.

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and the conference organizer, <a href="https://x.com/DavidFBailey/status/1815848521205178404" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">announced</a> the potential addition via X, stating, “We’re in talks with Kamala Harris’ campaign for her to speak at the conference. Would be very savvy of her to reset the democrat positioning on the fastest growing voter block in the country. They’re making up their minds today.” 
The potential participation of Harris has elicited mixed reactions from prominent figures in the crypto space. Tyler Winklevoss, founder of the crypto exchange Gemini, expressed <a href="https://x.com/tyler/status/1815856560544858356" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">skepticism</a>, saying, “Talk is cheap. She would need to start by immediately firing Gary Gensler, withdrawing all SEC enforcement actions against good actors, and ending Operation Chokepoint 2.0. She won’t do this so she won’t stand a chance in winning back the crypto voting block. Time for change.” 
Ram Ahluwalia, CEO of Lumida Wealth, <a href="https://x.com/ramahluwalia/status/1815861349710454848" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">commented</a> on the shifting political landscape, noting, “THE OVERTON WINDOW HAS MOVED. Candidate Harris is speaking at the Bitcoin Conference? Will the admin terminate Chair Gensler? Isn’t that the only action that counts? Two Presidential Candidates are competing to win the affections of crypto natives at the Bitcoin conference. Both flip-flopped in the pursuit of political expediency. […] If Biden &amp; Harris are serious, they should terminate Chair Gensler.” 
Wayne Vaughan added a critical perspective, asserting, “Democrats spent four years trying to destroy Bitcoin. Kamala Harris only wants to speak at The Bitcoin Conference because she’s desperate to avoid losing this election. Democrats want some of that sweet money raised by pro-crypto Super PACs. Don’t be fooled. Vote them out.” 
David Gokhshtein, another vocal figure in the crypto community, shared his skepticism humorously, “It’s hilarious that Harris is speaking at the Bitcoin conference. What’s she going to talk about? How she and the Biden administration did everything they could to kill Bitcoin and crypto?” 
This news follows a recent <a href="https://x.com/DeItaone/status/1815813380256719213" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">revelation</a> by entrepreneur Mark Cuban, who mentioned that Harris’ team had reached out to him with questions about cryptocurrency. “I’m getting multiple questions from her camp about crypto,” Cuban said on Tuesday. “So I take that as a good sign. The feedback I’m getting, but certainly not confirmed by the VP, is that she will be far more open to business, [artificial intelligence], crypto and government as a service.” 
The news that Kamala Harris could also join the Bitcoin conference comes after Donald Trump made huge waves with his pro-Bitcoin and <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/donald-trump-keynote-bitcoin-conference-reactions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">pro-crypto statements</a> in recent weeks. Trump is rumored to <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/insider-trump-possible-bitcoin-reserve-plan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">announce</a> BTC as a strategic reserve asset for the United States during his keynote on the last conference day (Saturday). 
At press time, BTC traded at $65,615.
