Robert Kennedy Jr. Highlights Bitcoin’s Importance for U.S. Fiscal Strategy

Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) asserts that U.S. policymakers are coming to terms with Bitcoin's inevitability and are racing to craft a comprehensive strategy to maintain America's financial leadership.

In a recent conversation with Cointelegraph at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, RFK Jr. shared insights into his perspective on Bitcoin and its role in the U.S. monetary system.

Having left the Democratic Party to run as an independent in October 2023, RFK Jr. recounted how he came to appreciate Bitcoin’s importance for “transactional freedom” during the Canadian trucker protests.

He described the protests as a peaceful exercise of freedoms such as assembly and petitioning, which were met with harsh government responses, including the use of facial recognition and bank account freezes.

Today, RFK Jr. believes U.S. policymakers recognize the presence of 60 million Bitcoin enthusiasts and are adjusting their stance on digital asset regulation.

He views the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve as essential for preserving the dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency.
