Trump spoke at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee, and courted crypto fans for votes and donations in the upcoming elections. He promised that on the first day if re-elected, he would fire Gary Gensler, the current SEC chair appointed by Biden who has cracked down on the crypto industry. Trump said he would make the US the cryptocurrency capital of the world and keep 100% of any Bitcoin the US government holds or acquires in a "national Bitcoin stockpile."
