**News Flash: Trump Unveils Crypto Plans at Bitcoin 2024 Conference**

Thousands gathered in Nashville for the Bitcoin 2024 conference, eagerly awaiting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's speech on his crypto policies. Trump promised to boost US electricity production using fossil fuels and nuclear power to dominate Bitcoin mining, despite global trends towards greener energy.

He also vowed to fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler, establish a crypto advisory council, and halt any central bank digital currency development. Trump reiterated his pledge to commute Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht's sentence.

Critics question the feasibility of his plans, noting his previous term saw little crypto progress. The 2024 election outcome will determine the viability of these ambitious proposals.
