Yesterday, Bitcoin Magazine has reported that Bitcoin Conference CEO David Bailey was in talks with the Kamala Harris campaign for a potential keynote speaker slot.

Shortly after Joe Biden dropped out of the 20204 presidential race, Bitcoin Conference organizers reached out to the Harris campaign and asked if the vice president would be interested in speaking at the event.

A decision from the Harris campaign was made last night by Bitcoin CEO David Bailey, who announced Kamala Harris would not be speaking at the Bitcoin conference.

Crypto Slate had more on the story:

Despite rumors circulating that the Democratic frontrunner for the US Presidential Election 2024, Kamala Harris, will be speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville this week, David Bailey has confirmed that she will not attend.

David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc. and organizer of The Bitcoin Conference, confirmed this decision comes amid ongoing discussions about the Democratic Party’s stance on Bitcoin, crypto, and blockchain technology.

As Bailey reported on Twitter, his team had been in talks with Harris’ campaign about a potential appearance at the conference. However, he later announced that Harris would not participate, stating it was “no surprise.”

Bailey suggested that Harris’ absence may be due to the current administration’s approach to crypto regulation, which has been perceived as hostile by many in the industry.

The Bitcoin Conference organizer also raised the issue of Ross Ulbricht’s imprisonment as a potential stumbling block for Harris’ engagement with the crypto community. Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road darknet market, is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Initially hinted at by Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey, the Vice President’s potential appearance sparked interest and speculation within the crypto community.
