"I'm not a fan of Trump, but I'm glad he's shining a light on Bitcoin," said another attendee. "It's a technology that has the potential to change the world."
However, other attendees were more critical.
"I don't think Trump knows anything about Bitcoin," said one attendee. "He's just using it as a way to promote his own agenda."
"I'm worried that Trump's involvement in Bitcoin will damage its reputation," said another attendee. "He's a controversial figure, and I don't want Bitcoin to be associated with him."
