Highlights from the Bitcoin 2024: What Did the Big Shots Say?

Best Moments from the 2024 Nashville Bitcoin Conference:

RFK Jr.

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to issue an executive order directing the U.S. Treasury to purchase 550 Bitcoins daily until the reserves hold 4 million BTC.

The ripple effects of these actions will value $BTC in the trillions.

@RobertKennedyJr

RFK Jr. announced an executive order directing the IRS to overhaul its handling of $BTC transactions.

All transactions between Bitcoin and the dollar are non-reportable transactions. Therefore, no tax is required.

Presidential candidate RFK Jr. hinted that Trump would announce a plan to purchase 1 million Bitcoins as a strategic reserve asset in his speech.

Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden views Bitcoin as an alternative to a system manipulated by corrupt politicians and regulators.

Folks, we are winning, but we’re not done yet… so let’s stay humble and never get complacent.

@Snowden

Michael Saylor

Michael Saylor shared his macro outlook for $BTC in 2045:

  • Bear market = $3 million per token
  • Base case = $13 million per token
  • Bull market = $49 million per token

Saylor believes the U.S. government should own the majority of Bitcoin in the world.

The future of the nation is in cyberspace, and Bitcoin is the cyber Manhattan. The way to support the dollar is to buy Manhattan before it’s worth trillions.

@saylor

BlackRock

BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets said ETF buyers are almost entirely buy-and-hold investors.

BlackRock’s spot $BTC ETF saw only one day of outflows in six months.

Dave Smith

Dave Smith made a compelling argument about Bitcoin’s unlimited potential.

Every bad thing the government does is simply because they control the money supply.

Donald Trump

The U.S. will become the global cryptocurrency capital and the world’s Bitcoin superpower.

@realDonaldTrump

The anti-crypto campaign by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will end.

The weaponization against your industry is over.

On Day One… I’ll fire Gary Gensler.
On Day One… I’ll fire Gary Gensler!

@realDonaldTrump

Trump promised to immediately shut down Operation Chokepoint 2.0.

Your government will no longer stand by and let Bitcoin-related jobs and businesses flee to other countries.

Whoever prepared these speeches for him is really impressive.

There will never be a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) during my administration.

He promised to support the expansion of stablecoins.

Bitcoin does not threaten the dollar. The current U.S. government’s actions are the threat to the dollar.

Never sell your Bitcoin.

He announced the government would 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 might be more optimistic than Trump’s entire speech.

Senator Cynthia Lummis

Senator Cynthia Lummis 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 predictions could come true.
