Is Elon Musk Attending The Bitcoin Conference 2024?

Adding to the excitement, VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Matthew Sigel, wrote:

“In six days President Trump, running temporarily unopposed, will speak at The Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. Many are speculating he will propose establishing a US Strategic #bitcoin reserve. Trump praised Elon Musk at his rally last night. Now Musk has laser eyes. See you there.”

This statement has further ignited discussions about Musk’s potential appearance at the event. Moreover, Trump and Musk’s collective embracement of BTC is expected to “break the internet” during the upcoming conference. David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, amplified the buzz by posting a snapshot of Musk’s laser eyes profile picture while expressing astonishment.

“Are you ready?” he asked the community, alluding to the possibility of Musk attending the conference alongside former President Donald Trump. Earlier, Bailey had previously hinted at a major announcement with a cryptic tweet: “I want to apologize in advance for breaking the internet.”

This post sent shockwaves through the crypto world. Therafter, Fox journalist Eleanor Terrett picked up on Bailey’s hint, suggesting that the only person who could cause such a stir alongside Trump would be Elon Musk. She wrote,

“If this is a teaser for another big guest announcement, I feel like the only person bigger than Trump that could break the internet at this point is Elon Musk.”

Furthermore, she highlighted Musk’s friendship with Donald Trump, his affinity for Bitcoin. Moreover, she underscored the increasing importance of the event as factors making his attendance plausible. However, she clarified that her comment was a “guess” and not based on insider knowledge.

Musk Reveals Actual Reason For Tennessee Visit

Adding another layer to the speculation, Musk mentioned that “Grok is being trained in Memphis.” Hence, his primary reason for being in Tennessee might be related to this project. However, participating in the Bitcoin Conference 2024 could also be on the cards. The proximity and timing suggest he could travel to Nashville for the conference.

In addition, the laser eyes image he used on his profile, described by Musk as “aesthetic,” is often associated with bullish sentiment in the Bitcoin community. This further sparks excitement about his potential involvement in the event. However, the tech mogul is yet to confirm his entry into the upcoming event.

The Bitcoin Conference 2024 has already become the most talked-about event in the crypto world. Moreover, the possibility of Musk joining Trump has sent ripples across the internet. Additionally, the community is speculating over Trump’s potential announcement of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
