I don't see the reason these guys would deny in public any affiliation with Bitcoin as if it were some disease but hold it in secret, I guess they are just deceiving themselves. In May, he denied having any investments but guess what now? This little act tells a lot about his character and if he can be like a switch at this stage, what might happen if he becomes President. The way I see it, he's like every other politician who will take every opportunity to win the heart of the public and if Bitcoin's the way, he'd use it. Won't be surprised if I get to hear later on that he is strongly against it. After all, Gary Gensler was pro Bitcoin before he suddenly jumped ship.

I don't see why that would be news at all, although I guess it's because someone's last name is Kennedy, so I guess it should be associated with the glory days of that family, and especially the fact that he's the nephew of one of the most famous presidents (JFK).

I will not say that the man does not have an impressive career and that he is one of the more famous activists and lawyers who fight for the environment and ordinary people, but if he has a few BTC in his possession it is really not an important thing. Will it be news if we find out for a while that he sold BTC?

Thats a marketing approach I guess. Why if the name of someone holding bitcoin is somehow famous everyone makes a big deal of it? Obviously its about the hype or marketing. Theres a lot of users whose unknown identity can have more bitcoin than him.

No wonder some popular people hiding their asset due to something like thisz that it will be talk of the town.

If these people wanted a huge pump they alreaady make some effort on promoting it and telling people that its good and worth of an investment.

This is very debatable. Yes — he'll be getting the attention of prominent bitcoiners and crypto peeps in general, but in exchange of disfavor for those in the bitcoin-is-a-scam demographic. The latter is a pretty big demographic as well.

He is one of the few politicians that I could vote for if I were a US citizen, imagine someone like him getting elected in 2024 I am very sure that it will be bullish for Bitcoin and crypto, and some useless laws on crypto will be canceled for the next few years that he will be the president, I hope the election works in favor of crypto because I still believe that the U.S as a country have a big role to play in crypto adoption.

RFK Jr. is one of the few politicians who truly understands what Bitcoin is about. He has always made positive remarks about Bitcoin, which is refreshing to hear coming from a member of the Democrat party that has oftentimes been outright hostile towards Bitcoin. Elizabeth Warren is perhaps the most famous anti-Bitcoin politician. She loves using the "Bitcoin is only used by criminals" cliche. Kennedy on the other hand has promised to protect bitcoiners' rights to hold and use BTC.

Biden is extremely unpopular even within his party, so it's a perfect time for a challenger like Kennedy. It'll be extremely difficult for him to win the nomination due to the mainstream media and the pro-establishment Democrats doing everything possible to discredit him.

Which brings up the question, "Did he become a Bitcoin supporter because he understood the technology and how it could weaken political strongholds, OR, did he simply become a supporter because he's holding Bitcoin"? I want to believe he is one of us, but him being a politician with an agenda, it's hard not to be a cynic.

I would probably believe Robert Kennedy if he was deeply tied financially with Bitcoin like Chad Saylor. Haha.

Considering that RFK Jr. is a Catholic who also practices his religion without hiding it, I have no doubt that it will be very difficult for him to get the kind of support that Biden, who is also a Catholic, got before him. In addition, if I'm not mistaken, before Biden, only one US president was of the Roman Catholic faith, and that was JFK, who bothered them so much that they ended up liquidating him.

If it is true that the Democrats have so far only three candidates, somehow it does not seem to me that Biden has a chance for a second term, and frankly, I have never even heard of Marianne Williamson. However, no matter who the next US president is, it somehow does not seem to me that we can expect any big changes when it comes to Bitcoin - because politicians change, but politics is more or less the same.

I'm not surprised to see politicians secretly hoarding bitcoin. They are all aware of the benefits of bitcoin, but because they are unable to use its regulation to their advantage, they will continue to hinder its adoption and drive many more individuals who are unaware of bitcoin away from it.

Even today, renowned government employees who work in banking sectors have bitcoin holdings but will not declare them to the public due to the consequences; they spread news but do not follow the news.

It’s just a two way choice for people, they can either join bitcoin secretly and be financially responsible for their holdings, or they can blindly accept the government's advice not to hold/save money in bitcoin, which the governments themselves do.

That fraction amount of Bitcoin held by Jr.  Kennedy may be just for payment for subscription and fees because, for a man of his public status,  $100k-$250kBTC is not that big a deal to say he should be referred as a Bitcoin holder since he has enough money to hold more Bitcoin that he currently holds if he truly believes in the technology.


His recent public statement about bitcoin may be as a result of his conviction about bitcoin against what other Democrats will see as a threat to the financial system due to their selfish interest as against the freedom Bitcoin offers.
