Donald
Trump to Headline Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville
July
11, 2024
Former
President Donald Trump has been confirmed as a keynote
speaker at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference set
to take place in Nashville, Tennessee.
This
news comes as a significant development for the event,
known for its major industry announcements and influential
speakers. The conference, which has previously been
hosted in Miami, has established itself as a platform
for groundbreaking news within the cryptocurrency
space.
Bitcoin
2021, the inaugural conference, made headlines when
El Salvador officially declared Bitcoin as legal tender.
The subsequent Bitcoin 2022 and Bitcoin 2023 conferences
continued the trend of notable moments, including
a powerful speech by U.S. Presidential candidate Robert
F. Kennedy Jr. in support of the Bitcoin industry.
This
year, the shift of the conference location from Miami
to Nashville signifies its increasing prominence on
the global stage. With two former U.S. Presidential
candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump,
slated to speak, Bitcoin 2024 is anticipated to be
a pivotal event that could potentially impact the
future trajectory of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency policies
in the United States.
Donald
Trumps participation in the conference is especially
noteworthy considering his recent engagements with
the Bitcoin community. Earlier this year, Trump met
with prominent U.S. Bitcoin miners, including representatives
from CleanSpark, where he reiterated his support for
Bitcoin mining both domestically and internationally.
In a statement, Trump pledged to prioritize the development
of Bitcoin and crypto initiatives in the United States
and safeguard the rights of the nations 50 million
crypto holders if re-elected as president.
As
Trump embarks on his presidential campaign, his alignment
with the Bitcoin industry stands in contrast to the
position of his potential rival, President Joe Biden,
who has shown less enthusiasm towards the cryptocurrency
sector. While Bidens participation in Bitcoin
2024 remains unconfirmed, the event could underscore
the divergent approaches of the two candidates towards
Bitcoin and its implications for U.S. policies.
For
additional details on the Bitcoin 2024 conference
and to secure a discounted ticket using a promotional

event website. Bitcoin Magazine, a subsidiary of BTC
Inc, the organizer of the largest Bitcoin conference,
The Bitcoin Conference, will be overseeing the event.

reported $161.7 million in GGR in May as compared
to $124.5 million in 2023. Casino GGR was $62.7 million
versus $45.4 million in 2023. Hard Rock Bristol generated

to $31.0 million in GGR from 2,608 units in 2023.
Igaming
revenue from seven states in May was $634.5 million
as compared to $528.0 million for six states in 2023.
New Jersey reported $192.1 million versus $161.4 million
in 2023, Michigan $198.6 million versus $150.5 million,
Pennsylvania $174.1 million versus $170.4 million,
Connecticut $46.3 million versus $26.4, West Virginia
$17.9 million versus $18.0 million, Delaware $3.9

Thirty-one
states reported sports betting handle and revenue
for May 2024. The handle was $9.28 billion with a
win of $771.4 million (10.4%) as compared to 27 states
reporting a handle of $6.478 billion with a win of
$742.3 million (11.4%). Ranked by handle, the top
five states were New York $1.978 billion, New Jersey
$838.9 million, Ohio $606.5 million, Pennsylvania
$591.9 million, and Massachusetts $587.4 million.
By win, the top five were New York $203.7 million,
New Jersey $78.7 million, Ohio $67.3 million, North
Carolina $63.0 million, and Pennsylvania $61.8 million.
With Illinois included, the adjusted handle for April
was $11.884 billion and GGR was $1.238 billion. In
April, Illinois reported $1.103 billion in handle
and $169.3 million in GGR. Arizona reported a handle
of $656.3 million and GGR of $64.4 million.
This
May, the gaming industry benefited from a full quota
of extra weekend days and the growth of sports and
igaming. Four new states, Maine, Nebraska, North Carolina,
and Vermont, boosted sports betting handle and win
to $9.2 billion and GGR of $771 million. In 2021,
17 states produced a handle of $3.677 billion and
a win of $268.3 million.
Igaming
had one additional state, Rhode Island. But the real
igaming story is the strength of the organic growth
in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Those three
generated $568 million in GGR, an 86 percent increase
from 2021. The $568 million is more than any single
state except Nevada.
Year
to date, the total GGR is $30.0 billion versus $27.9
billion in 2023; igaming GGR is $3.2 billion, up 29
percent, and sports $5.7 billion, up 28.7 percent.
The year-over-year growth rate for the total GGR has
slowed from 20 percent last year to 7.6 percent in
2024. It is still exceptional, better than nearly
any other industry. There are headwinds for the industry
in 2024, but if sports and igaming continue to grow,
gaming is on solid ground. (Credit: CDC, Adams, AI

SURVIVOR
SERIES NEWS: NXT stars debut in PPV main event angle,
plus other news from annual PPV - 18th November 2012
--
NXT champion Seth Rollins (formerly Tyler Black),
Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns debuted on WWE TV by
attacking Ryback and preventing him from capturing
the WWE Title in the Survivor Series PPV main event.
Rollins,
Ambrose, and Reigns were identified by announcer Michael
Cole as being from the NXT Developmental system. After
they took out Ryback via powerbomb through the Spanish
announce table, Punk pinned John Cena, who had received
Shell Shock from Ryback before Ryback was taken out
by the NXT trio.
--
No titles changed hands during the PPV. In the other
top title match, Sheamus beat Big Show via DQ after
Show pulled referee Scott Armstrong in the way of
a Brogue Kick. Sheamus then delivered a massive beat
down to Show using a chair, which likely sets up a
World Title re-match at the TLC PPV next month.
--
In the other title matches, Antonio Cesaro retained
the U.S. Title over Kofi Kingston and Eve retained
the Divas Title over Kaitlyn.
--
In the top Survivor Series elimination match, Dolph
Ziggler pinned Randy Orton to be the sole survivor
for Team Ziggler over Team Foley. Earlier in the show,
WWE teased tension between Orton and Mick Foley, playing
up their historical feud from Orton's early days.
Also earlier in the show, David Otunga was named as
Cody Rhodes's replacement on Team Ziggler following
Rhodes's injury at last week's Smackdown TV taping.
--
Tamina, who recently trained with The Rock, returned
to WWE TV as Vickie Guerrero's hired bodyguard. The
set-up was that A.J. Lee noted that if Vickie places
her hands on her, then Vickie will be removed as interim
Raw authority figure. Tamina then blindsided A.J.
and Superfly Splashed her to establish her new role
as Vickie's enforcer (Pro

News Flashback
Brock
Lesnar vs Jon 'Bones' Jones being speculated by sports
media commentators; Will WWE top brass make it happen
for WrestleMania
For
months there's been speculation running rampant about
the potential match up of Brock Lesnar aka 'The Beast'
vs Jon 'Bones' Jones.
Due
to Jones recent drug testing fail it would appear
that the obvious place for the match up to happen
would be under the WWE umbrella, and what better event
to have it take place than WrestleMania.
WWE
is always looking for unique, high interest (and grossing)
main event matches, and there's little doubt that
this dream match would draw massive publicity, and
would certainly help sell out an arena (and boost
WWE Network subscriber numbers at the same time).
Would
the risk of booking such a dream match be worth the
potential risk and payoff? Only a few select top brass
in the WWE would know, those individuals would be
the likes of Vince McMahon and Triple H. Pat Patterson
would possibly be in the decision making also, and
could very well help book the match, should it be
scripted, as all WWE matches are. Or, would the WWE
just have these men fight for real? Problem is if
its for real, as the WWF Brawl For All was, both men
could get seriously hurt and be out of action for
many months. Then again, both men would be part-times
and are special attractions, so it's not like they
have to be out on the road going to arena to arena,
following such a bout.
There's
also talk whether UFC / MMA sensation Conor McGregor
may seriously look at one or more matches under the
WWE banner no matter what the result from his clash
with Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, who is not a stranger
to the WWE ring, having previously fought and beat
'The Big Show' at WrestleMania 24.
It's
certainly interesting times for the WWE / Sports Entertainment
- MMA - Boxing connection.
Let's
all hope that a Lesnar vs Jones and the upcoming McGregor
vs Mayweather fight surpass the infamous Ali vs Inoki
match from 1976.
As
Bruce Buffer says, Let's get ready to rumble. Let's
now cross to ringside with Mauro Ranallo for the call
of the action.
