One US Presidential hopeful is solidifying his spot as the top supporter of Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto.
Earlier today, independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former President John F. Kennedy’s nephew, spoke on digital assets at the BTC Nashville convention.
“I am a huge supporter of Bitcoin. I have most of my wealth in Bitcoin. I am fully committed.”
Though Kennedy is lagging far behind Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in the polls, he is the only Presidential candidate with a long record of supporting digital assets.
Though Trump has recently self-proclaimed the title of The Crypto Candidate, he has a history of attacking the space, displaying a lack of understanding of the technology at best and cynical opportunism at worst. Trump has so far released four widely panned non-fungible token (NFT) collections. During his former presidency, he suggested BTC was a fraud.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on the other hand, was the first candidate to begin accepting crypto donations. Earlier this year, he said he would put the entire US budget on the blockchain should he be elected president.
“I’m going to put the entire US budget on the blockchain so that any American — every American can look at every budget item in the entire budget anytime they want 24 hours a day…
We’re going to have 300 million eyeballs on our budget, and if somebody is spending $16,000 for a toilet seat, everybody’s going to know about it.”
