The most significant event for the cryptocurrency world in July was Donald Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin Conference. The speech just began. Before diving into the details, it’s worth noting that the Bitcoin price was at $68,486 before the speech.
Trump Changes Stance on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies
Donald Trump previously referred to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as scams and criminals’ money, stating they had no place in the system. However, much has changed since then. Influenced by the 2024 US elections, Trump realized the importance of approximately 52 million cryptocurrency-owning voters.
Trump has now changed his rhetoric. He now adopts a pro-cryptocurrency stance. He recently declared his support for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and proclaimed himself the president of the crypto space. All eyes are now on what Trump will say and promise.
