BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey confirmed Trump’s attendance while signaling additional security for the event. “We are proud to host Trump and share the solidarity of the global Bitcoin community,” the conference’s official Twitter account stated on Sunday.

The recent attempt on Trump’s life has raised questions about his upcoming campaign stops. The former president, who is the Republican presidential nominee in 2024, was promptly taken by the Secret Service after a shooting at a political meeting in Pennsylvania. The FBI identified the gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Despite the incident, Trump is committed to attending the Bitcoin conference. Bailey informed attendees on Twitter that Trump is in high spirits and excited to do his speech in Nashville. The gathering, which brought about 12,000 participants in January 2016 in Miami, is estimated to mobilize about 20,000 this time.
The commitment to Trump’s appearance underscores the conference’s significance in cryptocurrency. The organizers’ emphasis on greater security reflects the higher risks following the assassination attempt. Bailey’s statement highlights the resilience of both Trump and the Bitcoin community, emphasizing the importance of solidarity in times of crisis.
In the wake of the assassination attempt, Trump’s decision to attend the Bitcoin conference in Nashville demonstrates his determination to continue his campaign. The event’s organizers are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the former president’s and the attendees’ safety. As the conference approaches, the focus remains on maintaining a secure and successful event for all involved.
