Best moments from the 2024 Nashville Bitcoin Conference:
Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to issue an executive order directing the U.S. Treasury to purchase 550 bitcoins daily until reserves hold 4 million BTC.
"The chain reaction of these actions will drive the valuation of $BTC to trillions of dollars." ------ @RobertKennedyJr
Edward Snowden believes Bitcoin is an alternative to a system manipulated by corrupt politicians and regulators.
"Folks, we are winning, but we are not fully victorious yet… so let’s remain humble and never be complacent." ------ @Snowden
Michael Saylor shared his macro outlook for $BTC in 2045.
Bear Market = $3 million per coin
Base Case = $13 million per coin
Bull Market = $49 million per coin
------ @saylor
BlackRock's head of digital assets stated that ETF buyers are almost entirely buy-and-hold investors.
"The BlackRock spot $BTC ETF has seen outflows on only one day in the past 6 months."
RFK Jr. announced an executive order directing the IRS to completely reform how it handles $BTC transactions.
"All transactions between Bitcoin and the dollar are non-reportable transactions. Therefore, no taxes are due." ------ @RobertKennedyJr
Saylor believes the U.S. government should own the majority of the world's Bitcoin.
"The future of the nation is in cyberspace, and Bitcoin is the Manhattan of the internet. Supporting the dollar means buying Manhattan. And buy it before it reaches trillions in value." ------ @saylor
Presidential candidate @RobertKennedyJr hinted that Trump will announce a plan to begin purchasing 1 million bitcoins as a strategic reserve asset during his speech.
Dave Smith made a powerful statement about the limitless potential of Bitcoin.
"Every bad thing the government does is just because they control the money supply." ------ @ComicDaveSmith
"The U.S. will become the global capital of cryptocurrency and the world's Bitcoin superpower." ------ @realDonaldTrump
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's anti-crypto campaign will come to an end.
The weaponization against your industry is over. ------ @realDonaldTrump
On day one… I will fire Gary Gensler.
On day one… I will fire Gary Gensler!
------ @realDonaldTrump
President Trump promised to immediately shut down "Operation Choke Point 2.0."
"Your government will no longer sit idly by while Bitcoin-related jobs and businesses flee to other countries."
Whoever prepared these remarks for him really did an impressive job.
"During my administration, there will never be a central bank digital currency (CBDC)."
------ @realDonaldTrump
Trump promised to support the expansion of stablecoins.
"Bitcoin does not threaten the dollar. The current actions of the U.S. government are the threat to the dollar."
------ @realDonaldTrump
"Never sell your Bitcoin."
Trump announced that the government will hold 100% of Bitcoin and create a core strategic national $BTC reserve.
If Trump wins the election, Ross Ulbricht will be freed after serving 11 years in federal prison.
This may be more optimistic than Trump's entire speech.
@SenLummis proposed legislation requiring the U.S. government to purchase 5% of the total Bitcoin ($BTC) supply and hold it for at least 20 years.
If this happens, Saylor's prediction will come true.
