The US Democratic
presidential hopeful, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has stated that his interest and
support for Bitcoin was fired up during the Canadian truckers’ protests in
early 2022 when the Emergencies Act was implemented for the first time in
Canada’s history.
According to
him, the Emergencies Act granted the government-controlled authority to repress
the protest which precipitated freezing of bank accounts and credit cards of
protest leaders and supporters using facial recognition and license plate
identification technologies.
This
experience made him realize the importance of financial transaction freedom,
which he now regards as being in line with freedom of expression.
His
support for Bitcoin has been driven by a strong belief in the importance of
financial freedom and privacy, especially in the face of increasing
surveillance and government control over financial transactions.
We had
earlier published Robert F. Kennedy’s activities indicating his support for
Bitcoin, more especially how he purchased the digital currency for each of his
seven children.
He also
proposed innovative concepts such as Bitcoin Treasury bills (T-bills), backed
by Bitcoin and other commodities, and removal of the capital gains tax on Bitcoin
sales with a million-dollar cap to prevent exploitation by large investment
managers.
