Presidential aspirant Robert F. Kennedy Jr. affirms his commitment to safeguarding the public’s freedom to own and engage in transactions using Bitcoin (BTC) once he assumes the highest electoral position in the nation.
In a recent tweet, the contender challenging incumbent President Joe Biden in the upcoming election reinforces his earlier statement made at the 2023 Bitcoin Conference held in Miami during May. At the conference, Kennedy unveiled his plan to reverse the government’s adversarial stance towards cryptocurrency.
Kennedy asserts that Bitcoin acts as a powerful defense against unwarranted intrusion by both government and corporate entities. He believes individuals should possess control over their private keys, just as they have ownership of the keys to their car or wallet.
“As president, I will ensure the inviolability of your right to own and utilize Bitcoin. Not only does Bitcoin serve as a bulwark against totalitarianism and manipulative practices in our monetary system, but it also points us towards a future where government institutions are more transparent and democratic.”
Despite his support for Bitcoin, the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy expresses opposition to the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). In an interview with the New York Post, he articulates his concerns about potential abuse of the digital dollar.
“I stand against central bank digital currencies as they serve as tools of control and oppression, inevitably prone to abuse.”
