An hour late, massively hyped, and rumors that Elon Musk would join him on stage fueled the expectation.

And yes, Donald Trump's speech at the Bitcoin Conference was a notable moment. And yes, he clearly positioned himself in favor of the crypto industry and pressed the right buttons ("to the moon," "fire Gary") to wow the crowd.

It was a positive signal for the crypto industry, although expected. However, given his role, his speech was heavily laden with political rhetoric, which was expected and understandable.

In many respects, though, the speech felt uninspired.

It seemed at times that Trump did not fully grasp the intricacies of the subject matter, suggesting his focus was more on gaining votes. Moreover, significant announcements were notably absent. While encouraging, the much-celebrated declaration of not selling government-owned bitcoins was not groundbreaking.

Perhaps more important than the content of the speech was what the lineup at this year's Bitcoin Conference in Nashville represented. The presence of both Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr., two presidential candidates, underscored Bitcoin's & crypto's growing significance and increasing mainstream acceptance.

The conference garnered extensive media coverage, reflecting the rising prominence of crypto and Bitcoin.

In conclusion, while Trump's speech may not have delivered major revelations, the broader context of the conference highlighted the evolution of Bitcoin and the crypto industry into a significant and mainstream topic.
