LUCKNOW (CoinChapter.com) – Vice President Kamala Harris will not be speaking at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference, contrary to earlier rumors that had circulated within the cryptocurrency community. The speculation began when David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and organizer of the Bitcoin 2024 conference, suggested on social media that Harris’s campaign was considering her participation in the event. However, Bailey later confirmed that Harris would not be attending the conference, putting an end to the rumors.
The conference, scheduled to take place in Nashville, Tennessee, has become a significant event in the cryptocurrency calendar. It often attracts high-profile speakers from various sectors.

Furthermore, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently disclosed that Harris’s team had been reaching out with questions about cryptocurrencies. In a statement, Cuban said, “I’m getting multiple questions from her camp about crypto. So I take that as a good sign.”
Cuban went on to suggest that based on the feedback he was receiving, Harris might be more open to discussions about business, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, and government services. However, he emphasized that this was not confirmed by the Vice President herself.
Harris finds herself in a delicate position as she attempts to balance her role as the inheritor of the Biden Administration’s policies with her own background and connections to Silicon Valley.
