Anticipation is at a high degree as the 2024 Bitcoin Conference draws near, driven not just by technical developments but also by the surprising backing of an influential person: Donald Trump.

Here is a look at how Trump’s potential presidency can impact the direction of the crypto. The Bitcoin Turnaround Of Trump Once a strong opponent of Bitcoin, Donald Trump has changed his language dramatically. Even suggesting Bitcoin as a possible reserve currency alongside the US dollar, his campaign has aggressively embraced the digital asset. This fresh zeal differs greatly from his past posture, where he wrote out Bitcoin as a “scam.” In recent discussions, the former president has labeled Bitcoin as “digital gold.” His campaign vows to boost the digital asset’s acceptability. This might give companies and investors more confidence, adding more appeal to Bitcoin. Regulatory Change And Economic Effects Trump’s possible impact on Bitcoin is mostly dependent on his attitude to regulation. Given JD Vance’s pro-crypto posture, Trump’s choice of running mate suggests a likely tsunami of favorable crypto laws. Clearer rules and more institutional Bitcoin investment might find their path in this regulatory climate. Another important element for the dynamics of Bitcoin’s price might be Trump’s economic plans. His platform emphasizes on lowering inflation and enhancing economic stability—qualities that directly influence the value of Bitcoin. Trump’s economic policies were blamed with a somewhat consistent investment environment over his past presidency. Should he be successful in fostering a better economic climate, Bitcoin would gain from more liquidity and investor confidence. Conjecture And Market Responses The market for Bitcoin is driven by speculation, hence Trump’s close relationship with the crypto asset has magnified this influence. Recent events, like the attempted murder of Trump, have demonstrated how drastically market mood may respond to political changes. After the episode, the crypto enjoyed a big surge; meme coins and market mood reflected the great stakes of Trump’s involvement. Meanwhile, post-assassination attempt, the former commander in chief’s ratings against Biden rose somewhat (see chart below). Trump’s erratic political path fuels even more conjecture about his possible administration. The result of the election is still unknown even if Kamala Harris is becoming a strong competitor. Harris’s opinion on Bitcoin might potentially affect market dynamics, therefore adding even another level of intricacy to the future of the currency. Analyses disagree on the possible effect of a Trump win on the price of Bitcoin as the election gets near. While some see a positive trend with Bitcoin maybe skyrocketing above $100,000, others remain wary expecting firmer indications from Trump’s campaign and plans. BTC Price Forecast Technical signs show Bitcoin will rise significantly in the following week. The cryptocurrency is trading 33% below our monthly projection, predicting a comeback if market circumstances improve. Bullish indications like a rising moving average and a stronger Relative Strength Index (RSI) imply BTC might rectify its undervaluation and reach the forecasted price goal.

Institutional interest and favourable macroeconomic conditions might boost Bitcoin’s price in the long run. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView

As the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville draws near, scheduled for July 25-27, the BTC community braces for what could be a pivotal moment in Bitcoin’s history. The event is attracting unprecedented attention, possibly set to surpass the landmark announcement in 2021 by Jack Mallers that El Salvador would adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. The anticipation around the conference has been significantly amplified by the scheduled appearance of Donald Trump, the leading US presidential candidate. Rumors that began circulating last week have suggested that Trump might endorse Bitcoin as a potential reserve asset should he win the presidential election in November. These speculations were further fueled by Dennis Porter, founder of the regulatory advocacy group Satoshi Act Fund, who posted on social media platform X about an unconfirmed leak claiming that Trump plans to “announce a USA bitcoin strategic reserve in Nashville,” citing sources wishing to remain anonymous. Bitcoin Could See A “$100,000 Trinity Candle” Amidst this backdrop, Dan Ripoll, a former managing director at financial service company Swan and now a professional trader, outlined a bold scenario that could potentially more than double Bitcoin’s price instantly if Trump’s plans come to fruition. Speaking on X, Ripoll described the possibility as “one of the most gangster moves” Trump could make. Related Reading: Here Are 5 Reasons To Be Bullish On Bitcoin, Analyst Says His hypothetical involves Trump announcing at the conference that he has significantly invested in Bitcoin and plans to integrate it into the US Strategic Reserve. “Get balls long BTC (as in thousands of coins) going into the Bitcoin Conference next week. Announce plans to put BTC in the US Strategic Reserve. BTC goes vertical with a $100,000 Trinity Candle. Trump quintuples his net worth overnight. He never sells,” Ripoll theorized. According to him, such an action would not only enhance Trump’s net worth but also be positive for BTC hodlers if he keeps his promise. “Then, he should actually follow through with that promise and start accumulating BTC once in office. Everyone wins. Gensler comes after Trump for market manipulation. Trump to Gensler: “You’re Fired”, Ripoll added. Ripoll also suggested that the Democratic Party could potentially undercut Trump’s impact by adopting a pro-Bitcoin stance before the elections, though he expressed skepticism about their willingness to make such a move. Ripoll stated: “The Democrats could steal his thunder by coming out in favor of BTC before the election. But they won’t do it. It makes one question, how badly to the Dems want to win this thing?” Reactions From The BTC Community The reactions within the Bitcoin community to this speculative scenario has been mixed. Eugene Gant expressed skepticism about the broader implications of linking Bitcoin with potential political maneuvers, questioning the ethicality of leveraging a public position for personal financial gain through cryptocurrency. Ripoll responded by emphasizing the broader benefits if America adopts Bitcoin as a reserve asset, suggesting that tying the dollar to “hard money” could stabilize the currency and benefit holders of Bitcoin.

Ripoll countered by noting the common trajectory from skepticism to support within the Bitcoin community, suggesting it wouldn’t be surprising if Trump had genuinely shifted his stance. The expert concluded: “Everyone who is a bitcoin maximalist started off as a bitcoin skeptic. Every single one of us. It would not be surprising to see that he actually learned about it and changed his tune. That is the path.” The anticipation for the Bitcoin 2024 conference featuring Trump is clearly visible in the BTC price action over the past days. At press time, BTC traded at $67,373, up more than 24% in the past two weeks. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The address acquired the tokens at an average price of $0.5, spending $540,000 for the memecoin. Seemingly, the whale made $8.85 million from the tokens, $8.3 million of which were profits. Per Lookonchain, the wallet was suspected to be owned by renowned crypto trader GCR. However, it was later confirmed the address in question wasn’t related to the crypto trader. Lookonchain also reported another address holding a significant amount of the Trump-inspired memecoin. The second address, also suspected to be linked to the crypto trader, has $6.5 million in unrealized profits from TRUMP. The whale wallet tagged “GCR: Address 1” spent over $700,000 to buy 936,279 TRUMP. The address bought the tokens at an average of $0.75 between December 8, 2023, and January 18, 2024. At the time of the report, the whale’s holdings were worth around $7.23 million. Nonetheless, it hasn’t been confirmed if this address is linked to the renowned crypto trader. PolitiFi And Trump-Inspired Tokens Soar Over the weekend, former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. The Republican Presidential Candidate got shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butner, Pennsylvania. Following the news, PolitiFi tokens soared over 30%. DeFi creator and analyst Jake Pahor shared that the PolitiFi sector outperformed most categories over the weekend. Pahor cited DeFiLlama data, revealing that PolitiFi tokens rose 36.7% last week. The DeFi analyst also noted that “all categories outperformed Bitcoin over the past 7 days, possibly indicating a shift towards a risk-on environment.” Before the failed Trump assassination attempt, Trump-inspired memecoins saw a pump. The tokens surged after the former US President was announced as a keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference on July 27. TRUMP’s price went from $5.74 to $6.54 after the news. This performance represented a 15% and 39.5% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes. Since then, the biggest Trump-themed memecoin has seen a 35% rise, fueled by the most recent incident. Following the assassination attempt, the token went from the $6.3 price range to the $9.51 mark, increasing by over 50% in twelve hours. On Sunday, the memecoin hovered between the $7.3-$7.9 price range, starting the week trading at $7.47.

Trump was officially announced as a keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference. The Bitcoin Conference will occur in Nashville, Tennessee, between the 25th and 27th of July.

Moreover, former pro-crypto Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will join the largest Bitcoin conference in the world as a keynote speaker. The CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, the organizer of The Bitcoin Conference, expressed his enthusiasm for Trump’s participation. “July 27th we change the course of history,” David Bailey stated in an X post. The news of Trump’s involvement in the event was well-received by many industry figures. However, other industry members and investors questioned Trump’s intentions. CryptoQuant’s CEO Ki Young Ju wondered whether the former US president’s efforts were genuine: Is this a strategy to gain votes, or is it a genuine effort to make the United States a Bitcoin nation? Does anyone know? Despite the skepticism, the crypto community seems optimistic about the news, as Trump-inspired tokens soared last night. TrumpCoin And Trump-Inspired Memecoins Soar TrumpCoin’s price quickly reacted to the news, skyrocketing 55%. The token hit the $0.013 resistance level for the first time since June 27, according to DexScreener data. DJT saw a controversial launch nearly a month ago after online reports claimed TrumpCoin was the “official” Trump token. As a result, many investors sold most of their Trump-inspired memecoins, making them crash around 30%. At the time, Martin Shrekli, also known as “Pharma Bro,” claimed that the token was officially related to Trump’s camp. Shrekli stated that Barron Trump, son of the former US president, was closely involved with TrumpCoin. However, it was later revealed that Shrekli was behind the token. Crypto sleuth ZachXBT exposed the scheme on X, uncovering the truth before Shrekli admitted his involvement in an X Space. Since then, DJT’s price has gone on a descending trajectory. The token has seen a 33% decrease in the last two weeks. However, it registers a 10% increase from its price 24 hours ago, currently trading at $0.0086. Related Reading: Football Takeover?
