RFK Jr Says He Purchased Bitcoin For His Kids

These politicians have got a lot to discuss and it's not just all about Bitcoin. There are too many issues that they need to address and I am okay with that. Anyway, I am not a voter but anyone is welcome on this community whether he's a politician with good intention or just for the sake of votes.

Sure, they do have a lot to discuss and that bitcoin legitimacy is just a small portion of what they need to address but the point of this thread is to talk about his support in bitcoin and I think it's a valid thing that it's the only thing that we discuss here.

Well, that's on point.

He's got a story to tell that he has bought it for his kids for their inheritance and that's a boss move. Now for those that did liked what he has told and are eligible to vote next year.

They gotta decide if he's the candidate that they'll support but it's too early to tell that. I've seen candidates like Yang before that has expressed his support to Bitcoin but with lack of support from the people, he had to surrender.

RFK has been on the news lately and he has been so vocal about Bitcoin. It is not unconnected to his presidential ambition and the dire need to have the Bitcoin community vote him as he would have noticed that we are growing rapidly. Whether the Bitcoin community in eventually decides to vote him in as a result of his being so vocal about his support for Bitcoinor not, what I can deduce from the news  is that it is going mutually beneficial outcome. Both sides win. He has give Bitcoin more publicity. If he doesn't win at least he would still have the bitcoins he bought which would increase in value.

It's all about making it public or keeping it a secret, I'm pretty sure that a lot of famous people from all around the world and secretly stacking up Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies but they just don't make it public, even those who are fighting against it, like people in SEC or other organizations, even they might be buying and storing Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies because they all know that the time is right and it will surely go significantly up in the future.

Whatever they say or believe or show to the public, all we want is for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to prosper, and if they are slowly starting to adopt it, that is definitely going to help the cause, and that's what we want as Bitcoiners, as the time goes by, more and more people will come in front with their Bitcoin investments.

I reckon that we might be witnessing bitcoin's mainstream acceptance as a collectible.

Yeah, why not, its the same thing, as long it is securely keep, i mean the safely backup its all good. Then redeem it later on after 5-10 years, just like any other investments.

He might not get the nomination to become the Democrats' presidential candidate in their Democratic national convention, however, he is giving free advertisment for bitcoin hehehe.

Also, assuming that Robert Kennedy, a politician, really purchased bitcoins for his kids as part of their inheritance, I reckon that we might be witnessing bitcoin's mainstream acceptance as a collectible.

It's election season and it's a time to sell all kinds of lies to electorates and politician would say all sorts of things when they are canvassing for votes. I have never believed Robert F. Kennedy promises that his administration would promote the acceptance of Bitcoin in America if he becomes president. I do not believe that he's holding a sizable amount of Bitcoin, I do not believe that he bought 2 BTC for each of his children. I think RFK is only saying all these to rally support from crypto enthusiasts in America.

The skeptics of RFK should challenge him hehehe. It might be good for some people from the bitcoin community to ask Robert Kennedy for the transaction hash of each of those 2 BTC that were sent to each of his children. He should not be lying because it can easily be proven by using a blockchain explorer. However, if he is lying, he should pray that not one person would starting demanding for the transaction hash hehehe.

I don’t know if I’d say he bought it as a collectible for his kids. I’d consider it more like starting a retirement account for your kids. While buying a collectible may be considered an investment, I think purchasing Bitcoin is more of a pure investment. I wonder if he’s holding onto them or what the custody situation is.

Doing that would make thins worse because RFK would easily deflect by saying it is a violation of privacy of his children and that is against bitcoin ethos and wouldn't provide anything. Then you wouldn't know if he is lying about this or having bought bitcoin in first place.

However, doing that would also be his enemies' chance to call him a liar and the bitcoin community to call him a larper hehehehe. Also, someone should tell him that he bought the wrong cryptocoin if he wanted more anonymity and privacy. However with a warning, the Monero community is very small it will not help him collect much supporters for his campaign hehehe.

I wonder what happened next - RFK bought BTC for his dogs or a turtle or RFK ordered a pizza and paid for it with BTC? I think that too much dust is being raised about this man who has a chance to become president only if the current president does not live to see the next election or the one who attempted a coup ends up in prison.

Correct. This might be why he is trying to make big promises and gather as much people to support him for his campaign because he might already know that he has no chance hehehe. Also, promises of a currency being backed by bitcoin is very stupid because it will not work in the American economy which need times of inflationary periods to grow. Maybe he forgot about the failure and abandonment of the gold standard hehehe.

The skeptical me thinks these corrupt people make some money in these campaigns that they know they will lose. However, his free press for bitcoin was good, I reckon.
