In a political landscape often filled with empty promises, one presidential candidate dares to defy the establishment and champion the cause of cryptocurrency and personal liberty. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an exclusive interview with The New York Post, boldly declares his opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), decrying them as tools of control and oppression. With fervent support for Bitcoin and a commitment to safeguard individual rights, Kennedy Jr. emerges as a beacon of hope for those seeking a leader unafraid to challenge the status quo. Delve into the thought-provoking insights shared by this unconventional candidate, as he calls out the SEC, warns of encroaching tyranny, and champions freedom of speech.
On June 22nd, Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sat down for an interview with Lydia Moynihan of The New York Post and discussed various topics including Artificial Intelligence, Elon Musk, Bitcoin, and CBDCs.
When asked about cryptocurrency, RFK Jr. boldly stated that he opposes central bank digital currencies because "they are instruments of control and oppression, and are certain to be abused."
Earlier this year, RFK Jr. also criticized CBDCs by claiming they "grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny".
"I will make sure that we have policies that support bitcoin and the freedom to transact and that allow individuals to manage their own bitcoin wallets, nodes, and passwords. I will allow only the narrowest controls that are necessary to prevent money laundering." - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Last month, RFK Jr. made headlines when he threw support behind Ellen Brown and her article linking the SEC's war on crypto to directly causing the multiple bank collapses we saw earlier this year.
Clearly Kennedy Jr. has no problem making enemies with the SEC as he calls them out on their tyrannical behavior, in regards to cryptocurrency.
"While cash transactions are anonymous, a CBDC will allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs. The central bank will have the power to enforce dollar limits on our transactions restricting where you can send money, where you can spend it, and when money expires. A CBDC tied to digital ID and social credit score will allow the government to freeze your assets or limit your spending to approved vendors if you fail to comply with arbitrary diktats, i.e. vaccine mandates. The Fed will initially limit its CBDC to interbank transactions but we should not be blind to the obvious danger that this is the first step in banning and seizing bitcoin as the Treasury did with gold 90 years ago today in 1933. Watch as governments, which never let a good crisis go to waste, use Covid-19 and the banking crisis to usher in a new wave of CBDCs as a safe haven from germ-laden paper currencies or as protection against bank runs." - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
While discussing the potential ramifications of censorship, RFK Jr. claimed that he is a fan of Elon Musk because he "supports freedom of speech".
Further emphasizing his stance, the presidential candidate identified himself as a libertarian on matters of free expression, asserting that greater freedom fosters increased opportunities.
I tend to stay away from all things related to politics, but it seems that crypto and politics are becoming more and more entwined as time goes on.
Amidst this political landscape, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stands out as a breath of fresh air amongst the sea of conventional politicians.
His thoughtful and engaging discourse on these topics instills a sense of belief that he transcends the archetype of a typical politician, igniting hope that he may actually fulfill his promises if elected.
However, this is hard to actually believe because it feels like a politician's job is to promise the world and then deliver nothing.
Ultimately, it is truly inspiring to see a presidential candidate like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. taking a bold stand against central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), while also supporting Bitcoin and individual freedoms.

Bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin. Does he ever mention other crypto, or cryptocurrencies in general?
I don't like CBDCs, for the reasons he mention - it would be too easy to check and control how I spend my money. Bad enough that someone can go through my ATM withdrawals and see where I have been, but by using cash at least they can't see what I have bought with my "germ-laden paper currencies." I wonder if we're talking about the same Elon Musk though? Freedom of speech, huh? Every day I see people posting here on Hive and in other places that their twitter account has been locked.
So true. We have a very good example here in Stockholm, always making loud noises in the news: Kristoffer Tamsons. He was the regional councillor for public transport in the Stockholm area between 2014 and 2022. During that time he raised the ticket prices by almost 30% while at same time cancelling a lot of bus lines and departures on both trains and subway. Meaning less income, since some people simply can't afford it and others don't bother since there no longer exists any public transport where they live. All the time saying "I wish I had gotten this job earlier, there's so much to do, so much to fix! You'll see, everything will run so smoothly in just a couple of years!" Among the last things he did was sign a contract with the private company that runs the regional trains, agreeing that "train hosts" weren't needed. Those are the people who for example help people in wheelchairs get on and off the trains, answer questions about which station to switch trains on to get someplace, and help the train driver in case of problems. So now we've had the drivers strike since they don't feel safe working all alone. Especially if there's an accident. A lot of them quit, which has led to cancelled departures. And what does Tamsons do? He blames the new regime for it, saying this would never have been allowed to happen when he had the job! Even though he is the cause!
Tamsons sounds like he would do very well over here in American Politics lol.
I definitely need to do more research into RFK Jr. but I think I like what I'm hearing at the moment. It doesn't sound like he is tooo versed in crypto other than Bitcoin and a few others, but I feel he understands what they stand for, and to me that may be more important. I really appreciate his stance on CBDCs, so that what gets the most points for me, especially for the reasoning you agreed with. It is a slippery slope towards a social credit system that could easily be used for corrupt purposes.
I personally hate all politicians regardless of what party they are from. I donl;t thinbk any of them are for the people. But the one thing I do like about RFJK is that he is willing to put his money where his mouth is, but the cowards refuse to debate him. Its funny how I forget his full name "Hotez" I believe it is, is some kind of scientist/doctor for vaxxes. And he cowardly refuses to debate RFJK and Joe Rogan. Now many are coming to say even this moron of a doctor that he should be debating these misinfo people. But if this doctor is so correct on his studies and really truly believes these vaxxes worked for everyone I don;t see how he would be afraid of these 2 guys, unless its all Bull shit? How comes he doesn't see this as an opportunity to educate who he thinks are dumb and misinformed.
These leaders of today are full of shit, and they need us peasants to believe in their bull shit. We seriously need to start holding people accountable to the harms they are doing to humanity. A good hanging in public square would open the eyes of the sleeping.
I have seen that Twitter exchange between Hotez and Joe Rogan, it is quite humorous and also frustrating at the same time. I really find it disingenuous when someone refuses or is unable to backup or argue for their claims. If you believe you are right, then debate. If it is easily proven, then come cite the studies and data and prove it in front of everyone. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and that is why I am skeptical of anyone who refuses to debate their ideas.
I agree my friend, as the old saying goes: Put your money where your mouth is.
