Trump's Bitcoin Keynote 1 Hour Late, Gifts 1 BTC, Inducts Him into the BTC Holder Community

Trump's Bitcoin Keynote 1 Hour Late, Gifts 1 BTC, Inducts Him into the BTC Holder Community Former U.S. President Donald Trump has finally begun his keynote speech at the ongoing Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee. Trump arrived in Nashville around 3 pm CST on Friday, April 28th. His keynote address was originally scheduled to begin at 4 pm CST, but was delayed due to security checks and special guest appearances. David Bailey, CEO of the conference organizer, crypto media outlet Bitcoin Magazine, had earlier announced plans to gift Trump with 1 BTC mined in 2013, officially inducting him into the BTC holder community. The event is said to have drawn a crowd of 8,000 attendees. The delay in the start of the keynote address reportedly caused a brief dip in the price of BTC. Despite the delay, Trump's appearance at the conference is seen as a major endorsement for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry. His speech is expected to focus on the potential of Bitcoin as a store of value and a hedge against inflation.
