The candidate for the American presidential election once again praised bitcoin in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine.
A candidate
When asked what a democrat is for a Kennedy, the nephew of the assassinated president JFK highlighted the defense of working-class forces first and foremost, but also of the environment.
He also said he was against all war and skeptical of the military-industrial complex. Same thing regarding Wall Street and its tendency to “stripping the working classes of their wealth and power.” “Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street control 88% of the S&P500”he said lucidly.
R. Kennedy also did not forget to attack government agencies like the CIA which “can embarrass the president in multiple ways when under pressure”. Allusion to the assassination of his uncle JFK?…
His outspokenness about American foreign policy was also refreshing:
“The idea that the United States promotes democracy around the world is a bad joke. The CIA took part in 87 coups d’état between 1947 and 1997. That is 1/3 of the nations, most of which were democracies. USAID, which is a front for the CIA, spends $10 million a year to fund efforts to overthrow democracies. »

Conversely, the “freedom to own your own Bitcoin wallet will be protected”. “Small holders should not pay tax on capital gains linked to the appreciation of their bitcoins “, he blurted.
R. Kennedy likes bitcoin so much that he wants “issue treasury bonds partly backed by a basket of tangible assets. For example bitcoin, platinum, gold, silver and other assets of the same ilk. […]. We could match them up to 1%, then 2%, 3%, etc..”.
Asked about the future of the dollar, R. Kennedy described it as “uncertain”. Particularly due to “of the exponential economic growth of the BRICS”.
“BRICS do not have their own reserve currency, but they promote the use of their national currencies. This is a threat to the dollar’s international reserve currency status, power and wealth of the United States. We shot ourselves in the foot with sanctions and bellicose diplomatic postures. »
