NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former president Donald Trump took the stage an hour late Saturday to make his speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference at the Music City Center, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm from the capacity crowd.
Why it matters: Cryptocurrency has become, for the first time, an issue in a U.S. presidential campaign, ever since Trump vowed in May that he would make sure America dominates bitcoin production going into the future.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — At Bitcoin 2024, former president Donald Trump said that if elected he would see that the federal government would not sell any of its bitcoin holdings, effectively creating the core of a "strategic national bitcoin stockpile."
Why it matters: It was one of several crypto-related promises made to the bitcoin conference crowd Saturday afternoon intended to build on Trump's growing base of support from this corner of the tech world.
