Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made his first public appearance as a presidential candidate at the Bitcoin 2023 conference today, sharing his own experiences with Bitcoin, warning about how technology is enabling government totalitarianism around the world and describing how he would protect the rights of Bitcoiners if elected president.
“As president, I will make sure that your right to hold and use bitcoin is inviolable,” Kennedy said. "I am an ardent defender and lifelong defender of civil liberties and Bitcoin is both an exercise and a guarantee of those freedoms.”
Kennedy told the crowd that he was first inspired by Bitcoin as a critical freedom technology after learning about how it was used to circumvent financial restrictions during the Canadian trucker protest last year.
“None of these lawful and peaceful protestors had violated any law… But suddenly, they found that they could not access their money, their bank accounts to pay their mortgages or feed their families,” he recalled. “When I witnessed this … devastating use of government repression, I realized for the first time how free money is as important as free expression.”

RFK Jr. is really surprising me. Its hard to imagine he came out of the Kennedy family.
Yep. Lots of people can rally around that slogan.
He’s a liberal, not a Marxist.
That’s Lootie. He’s become a legend in South Louisiana.
"the freedom of currency", Bob. Dystonia is a bitch.
Look at it this way, a misspoke like that doesn't hurt him one bit when our objective is to help Bob primary Biden.
The contrast between RFK Jr. And Biden could not be more evident than this, Kennedy is up to speed on Bitcoin and Biden probably has no idea what Bitcoin is
Either of which are toxic to the Great American Experiment. He's not what we need, now or ever.
Unless it’s the senator from Louisiana, no more Kennedys. None. Zero. Zilch.
Which is precisely why there haven’t been any polls lately.
Was your misinterpretation intentional or is the concept of ‘free money’ too esoteric for you?
This is a good man. I could support him over NeoCon GOPers because RFKJR. would allow most humans to live, whereas GOPer/NeoCons will not. He’s far more pro-life.
The Never-Trumping never stops -- the answer is still no to Joey, Tulsi, Nikki, Romney...
That pic is iconic. I didn’t realize he had a name. Thanks!
You’re welcome! The guy is as American as apple pie, a true American icon. When hurricane Katrina hit who was out there? Lootie. Did Lootie care that these Heineken beers were foreigners? No, he knew he had to get them to a safety. Many American beers that sad day didn’t have Lootie around to save them. Lootie took them beers and treated them like his own. He took each and everyone and placed them to his mouth and kissed them goodbye.
