Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the Democratic presidential candidate of the United States of America admits that he owns crypto assets, including bitcoin (BTC). The news is a hit, since its remarks vis-à-vis crypto investment are ambiguous. On the one hand the tokens do not belong to him, on the other, they do. What is it really?
Bitcoin (BTC) Secures Path to Democratic Future, Says Robert F. Kennedy Jr
Robert F. Kennedy Jr is a Democratic presidential candidate in the United States who no longer hides his support for the crypto ecosystem. He even praised bitcoin (BTC) during his speech at Bitcoin 2023 Miami in May. In a tweethe claims that BTC is not just a hedge against centralized currencies.
According to him, it also points the way to a transparent and democratic future. Therefore, the ecosystem must be protected and maintained. In line with this, he recently stated that he has a large bitcoin (BTC) wallet. However, his claims are contradictory, as he initially denied that he owned a crypto investment.
Indeed, a financial report from CNBC reveals that the Kennedy family holds nearly $250,000 in bitcoin (BTC). After the publication of the file, the campaign of Robert F. Kennedy claimed that the tokens rather belonged to his wife. It was only much later that a representative of his campaign confessed that the cryptos did indeed belong to the candidate. Adding that this poses no conflict of interest.
This reversal is much more in line with Kennedy’s utter fervor to the oldest crypto. After its declaration in May that it accepts donations of digital assets, the latter has attracted the support of some prominent members of the ecosystem. Including Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block.
Even if Robert F Kennedy Jr the Democratic candidate strongly believes in bitcoin (BTC), he is not the only one to have this vision. In effect, the Republicans are not left out. Moreover, their initiatives seem the most crypto-friendly. Nevertheless, the most important thing is that the ecosystem regains some serenity. Reason why Jack Dorsey supports Kennedy, because he believes he can change things.
