Maybe he'll mention Bitcoin like DeSantis did, or maybe it won't be referenced. (This isn't an endorsement, just passing on the info).
Topic: Is Robert Kennedy Jr a True Bitcoiner or a Pseudo Bitcoin supporter? (Read 206 times)

Bitcoin is like a tool now to win votes from people who likes freedom. Politicians like deSantis and Robert Kennedy will says anything to get votes from you.
People may like Kennedy's father but the JR is not him. This is a democrat party member I wouldn't expect him to be different from Biden.
Is the BTC community really that big that they are banking the support of Bitcoiners to win?

I read through all the comment and it is sad that 80% of users do not find politicians to be trustworthy. During elections politicians become sheep in wolves clothing while selling their loft ideas and campaign promises only to show their true selves once they clench onto power. Right now all I can conclude is that no politician can be trusted to do whatever for the bitcoin community. It is only ourselves we've gotten and we must keep fighting. If it turns out that they are for us, great it not, bitcoin is bigger than anyone and will keep thriving.

I'm not familiar with US politic and it's ideology, but doesn't Republican claim itself as conservative while Bitcoin generally seen as progressive ?
It depends on the point of view. In this case if we are seeing things from the point of view of the government that is seeking total and absolute control, Bitcoin is more of a destructive force that easily undoes years of efforts for surveillance and control. June 02, 2023, 07:09:07 PM
He maybe Pro BTC, which is Pro Freedom, but he is Anti Gun which means Anti Freedom. I dont trust any of them.

I have created a similar thread about this subject, Robert Kennedy Jr on the subject of bitcoin, mining etc..
He might have some political motivations behind, but you can see though that he has enough understanding of bitcoin and every subject that covers it. And he has valid reasons to question the Biden's administration as they are really driving away everything that relates to bitcoin.

I do not trust politicians. When they want to run for office, and they suddenly remember that they have to be in the good graces of the Bitcoin community. Suddenly he is all over the place tweeting and making speeches about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
That's what politics is. Candidates that are contesting always look for what can possibly win the hearts of the people towards voting for them. But even if the people had to choose a leader, their choice would not be Just because the candidate is really a Bitcoiner, it should also be based on other characteristics to determine whether the person would be able to make some good decisions that can drive or boost the country's economy.

As every politician is trying to attract as many chickens as possible to gain consensus, he has probably seen a very large slice to take home and not only among citizens but could also have the support of many companies that are planning developments on Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies . So I'm pretty sure it's just a media campaign about him.

What makes the United States gain political and economic strength is that it relies on three things, weapons, the dollar, and intellectual property, and it is a state of institutions. Therefore, even if the current or next president is supportive of Bitcoin, the dollar must be valuable, and therefore no candidate will go far in Bitcoin. And by far, I mean that Bitcoin will not be a legal tender, but the most that he can do is enact some positive legislation related to Bitcoin, which is something that has already happened.
mentioned some of the mining legislation in the United States and the first clear regulatory framework for European Union countries as allies of the United States.
Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) discussions
Mississippi & Missouri lawmakers propose laws protecting bitcoin mining
the most Robert Kennedy Jr can do is to support Bitcoin ETF.

I believe that based on what John F. Kennedy stood for and his mission to put an end to the monetary system/banking system (or at least reform it) during his presidency, and arguably a large factor in his assassination, is something that (for me) validates very strongly that Robert Kennedy Jr is serious about his support for Bitcoin.
It is true that Bitcoin will free the people, will curse and destroy banks, and put an end to the tyrannic money system. John F. Kennedy would have supported Bitcoin, so it only makes sense that Robert Kennedy Jr. does too.

For those who can smell a rat, can you use your sixth sense to tell if this Democratic presidential candidate is a true Bitcoiner or a pseudo Bitcoin supporter?
You will able to actually know his true standing with bitcoins just after he has assumed political office, that is if he does. Politicians to me are all the same, they can promise the things that they know people want to hear to get attention and get a political position they desire. When some get into office, they may act differently. For those who can smell a rat, can you use your sixth sense to tell if this Democratic presidential candidate is a true Bitcoiner or a pseudo Bitcoin supporter?
In other thinking, If he has good intentions for bitcoins, and is not surrounded by other people in his government who share the same views on bitcoins, it will make it difficult for him to achieve whatever he has planned to do for bitcoins.

If you don't trust him, that's your opinion, it's not the same with mine, because this man make some statements when he was present in a Bitcoin conference week back and it got me confused, he knew what he is talking about, unlike many popular people in the U.S that knows nothing about Crypto, Sir Robert is different.
I know how conning many politicians are, but an open-minded man like Sir Robert? Nah you don't know what you are talking about, don't judge what you don't know, if US want the best shot with crypto in the future, Sir Robert is their best shot.
What if Robert Kennedy Jr. did his assignment and he studied other politicians who have talked promise about Bitcoin but as you've said, not know what they're talking about, pretty sure that can be a possibility right? That he knows enough that we believe him. I wouldn't really say that he is the future, until he's doing something that's notable right now when he's still at his current position. Politicians are snakes, never trust them because they're also puppet to the corporations who sponsors their campaigns. I know how conning many politicians are, but an open-minded man like Sir Robert?

This is strictly a political affairs and we cannot concluded on wether it's a reality experience or an illusion to deceive others in other for him to achieve his ambition, as far as I've known all this kind of elements used in politics whereby every representing candidate tries to get a qualitative area of focus of the people especially the youth as target and give a solution to their challenges experienced, bitcoin may be part of his own campaign strategies but being real for it is what we cannot tell, but it could also be a good consideration for the fact that bitcoin has been having serious regulatory encounters in US of recent.

Are BTT users true Bitcoiners or pseudo Bitcoin supporters? If you can answer that objectively, and explain why it matters, yeah, then I'll get to random US politicians.
Last time I checked, there was no prerequisites of character to use Bitcoin. Put your memes, use it for your political candidacy, motives pure or not, it all actually helps in the end.
As pooya87 says, what monkey do is more important than what monkey says. Every use is proof of concept.

I think most if not all politicians are liars and would say and do anything to get votes. Their words can never be fully trusted. Robert Kennedy Jnr may not be any different from the rest.
Personally, I don’t think he gives any thought about bitcoin as he’s trying to portray and he may very well be kissing up to younger voters who are also bitcoin holders. I’m trying to be optimistic here but with politicians, I just can’t afford to have my hopes up only to be disappointed.

He might be a genuine Bitcoiner or probably just cozying up to the coin, I may not know, but for the fact that he's the first presidential candidate to accept campaign donations in Bitcoin tells us different.
To him, the economy of the US would be done a huge favor if there's a diverse ecosystem of currencies. That looks like someone who's interested in the possibility Bitcoin can bring to the economy than just hoping to score some brownie points to me.

Nobody really know for sure what's the reasoning behind those politicians, they could be motivated by yes, politics itself maybe because they know that they can put voters to sway on them and it push becomes shoves, they need every vote they can to win and stay in the office.
So for now, let's say every politician not just Robert Kennedy Jr will be on our radar but with a grain of salt. We still yet to see his true colors are far as his supposedly bitcoin support.

The real question is not what a politician says but what they do. In other words you don't need to have sixth sense to know the answer, all you need to do is to look at his past and see what actions he has taken so far in favor of bitcoin!P.S. In the previous US election there were others (whom nobody remember today) that spoke positively about bitcoin trying to gather support. I don't see any difference here. After the regime chooses another 2 puppets (Biden 2.0 and 3.0) and introduces those two for Americans to be forced to choose between, these others are forgotten too. In other words it doesn't matter if Jr is really pro bitcoin or not

Well, in principle bitcoin fits more with a Republican ideology than a Democratic one but it does not preclude it. In this case from what I have seen it seems sincere, and I dream of the battle for the presidency being between DeSantis and Kennedy, although the likelihood of that happening is minuscule, but it would be a very good thing for all bitcoiners.
