He Jinli strives for the opportunity to speak at the Bitcoin Conference
Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey recently revealed that the campaign team of Kamala Harris is discussing whether she will speak at the upcoming Bitcoin Conference. The news suggests that Democrats may be adjusting their cryptocurrency policy stance in an attempt to win over a rapidly growing group of voters.
Bailey said Harris's speech at the convention would be a great opportunity for her to reset the Democratic Party's position among this rapidly growing group of voters. According to reports, Harris' campaign team will decide today whether to participate in the event.

The development comes as Harris attempts to differentiate herself from President Joe Biden on issues of technology and innovation. Billionaire investor Mark Cuban said Harris "will be more open to business, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency and government services" than Biden. Cuban also revealed that Harris' team has contacted other senior cryptocurrency executives to seek policy advice.
These moves by Harris' team indicate that she may be more willing to embrace the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry than the current government. If she were to speak at the Bitcoin Conference, it would be a signal of goodwill to the cryptocurrency and technology innovation community.
Trump’s pro-encryption stance and Harris’ challenge
Former President Donald Trump will also speak at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, a sign that he is trying to attract support from the cryptocurrency community. According to unconfirmed news, Trump may propose Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for the United States at the event, which has caused great excitement in the community. Trump has expressed strong support for digital assets in recent weeks, becoming the first presidential candidate to accept donations in Bitcoin.
Trump’s pledge to create a friendlier regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies stands in stark contrast to the current administration’s regulatory uncertainty. His support has prompted many industry leaders, including the Winklevoss twins, Kathy Wood and Musk, to express their support.
Harris' campaign team is working hard to gain support from the cryptocurrency community. According to "Decrypt" reports, Harris' advisory team has begun asking Bitcoin enthusiast and billionaire Mark Cuban about cryptocurrency policy. Cuban revealed that he received multiple questions about cryptocurrency from Harris' team, which gave him a positive sign.
Policy stance and future prospects
It is unclear how Harris will govern the cryptocurrency industry. Although she has never publicly shared her views on the industry, as a politician who once made her fortune based in San Francisco, she is considered to have closer ties to Silicon Valley and the technology industry. However, she is also positioning herself as the successor to the Biden administration, which has at times taken a hardline stance on cryptocurrencies.
Industry advocates are cautiously optimistic about Harris' presidential campaign, arguing that her arrival could break with Biden-era policies and create some kind of cross-party consensus on creating a regulatory framework for digital assets. Several chambers of commerce recently urged Harris to take a more progressive stance and take immediate steps to change the negative public image among cryptocurrency voters.
All in all, the news that He Jinli’s team strives to speak at the Bitcoin Conference has attracted widespread attention. Whether she can successfully attract the support of the cryptocurrency community and formulate effective policies in this industry will be an important observation point in future elections.
