Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Bitcoin-Focused Policies

During the Heal-the-Divide PAC event, US Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. outlined several Bitcoin-focused policies including gradually backing the U.S. dollar with Bitcoin and making Bitcoin profits exempt from capital gains taxes.

“My plan would be to start very, very small, perhaps 1% of issued T-bills would be backed by hard currency, by gold, silver platinum or bitcoin.”

Kennedy Jr. plans to gradually increase the allocation depending on the outcome of the initial phase. If elected president, his administration will work on policies to reform the financial system, backing the dollar and U.S. debt obligations with hard assets, and growing business and tech jobs in the US.

Bitcoin will play a pivotal role in the upcoming US presidential election. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discusses the importance of Bitcoin in privacy and freedom. On July 26, he will be speaking on Bitcoin and freedom in Twitter Space hosted by “The Wolf of All Streets” Scott Melker.
