Democratic candidate Kamala Harris may attend a Bitcoin conference with Donald Trump.In a post on Platform X on Tuesday, David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, said conference organizers are in talks with the Harris campaign and "will make a decision today.
Mr. Bailey said it "makes a lot of sense for her to reposition the Democratic Party with the fastest-growing voter base in the country.
We are in talks with Kamala Harris' campaign to have her speak at the conference. It makes a lot of sense for her to reposition the Democratic Party with the fastest growing segment of voters in the country. They made their decision today.
In a separate post, Mr. Bailey urged Harris to follow in the footsteps of other presidential candidates Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. and promise to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht before addressing #bitcoin supporters at the conference.
While Harris has yet to speak publicly about crypto assets, tech billionaire and bitcoin evangelist Mark Cuban recently revealed that he has "gotten a lot of questions about #cryptocurrencies from her camp.
Cuban added:
I think that's a good sign. I'm getting feedback, which of course has not been confirmed by the vice president, that she's going to be more open to business, (artificial intelligence), cryptocurrencies and government as a service.
It's still unclear whether Kamala will agree to speak at the Bitcoin conference after talks with organizers. However, the possibility of her speaking at the conference has drawn mixed reactions from prominent figures in the #cryptocurrency world.
The co-founder of Gemini, Tyler Winklevoss, expressed skepticism, saying: "Roth is a curse. For starters, she needs to immediately fire Gary Gensler, withdraw all SEC enforcement actions against good players, and complete Operation Chokepoint 2.0.
Since she won't do that, there is no chance of a cryptocurrency renaissance. It's time for a change.
