The US Presidential Candidate is heading towards becoming one of the most popular figures to support Bitcoin, among the likes of El Salvador president Nayib Bukele.
Kennedy Jr. said Bitcoin allows small investors to actually have an inflation-proof currency. And that gives them freedom as against the holding of fiat currency which is at the mercy of the system. He said he had invested in 2 Bitcoin each for the sake of each of his seven children. He spilled the beans on his Bitcoin investments:
“Right after the Bitcoin conference, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and bought 2 Bitcoin for each of my 7 children.”
In May 2023, Robert Kennedy Jr. made history by becoming the first presidential candidate to accept Bitcoin campaign donations.

The Twitter spaces was jointly hosted by crypto influencer Scott Melker, Mark Moss, Natalie Brunell, Marty Bent and Robert Breedlove.
