“I will end the war on Bitcoin,” says the US presidential candidate

In the American presidential race, Democratic candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. has made controversial promises that have led to much discussion. In a recent interview, the candidate promised to be free Julian Assangecreator of WikiLeaks, and Ross Ulbrichtfounder of Silk Road.

The Democratic candidate for president of the United States stated that, if elected, he will analyze the cases of Assange and Ulbricht on his first day in office. According to him, the former CIA employee Edward Snowdenwho was also prosecuted by the US government for years for disclosing confidential information, could also be pardoned.

“Yes, I will pardon Julian Assange on day one, and maybe Snowden too. I will also look at other topics. I will find out if Ross Ulbricht was convicted fairly or if they want to use his example to show how Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry can be suppressed.”he said.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, Ross Ulbricht, mastermind behind the online black market ‘Silk Road’, and Edward Snowden, former NSA contractor who exposed US mass surveillance programs, are three controversial figures whose actions have made them famous worldwide.

While many see them as heroes of freedom of information and digital privacy, others see them as criminals who have endangered national security and public order.

End of the war against Bitcoin

Speaking to the Bitcoin Magazine website, Kennedy Jr. also expressed strong support for Bitcoin and classified it as a “independent and free currency”.

He highlighted his concerns about the government’s current stance on Bitcoin and promised to launch government bonds backed by hard assets such as platinum, gold, silver and even Bitcoin.

According to Kennedy Jr. Such a measure would strengthen the stability of the US dollar and reduce government control over the currency.

Kennedy Jr. also shared his opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), describing them as potential tools for power and control over citizens.

“I will ensure that Bitcoin is protected so that people have cryptocurrency wallets. The White House’s current war on Bitcoin will end. Bitcoin should be considered a currency, not a commodity.”

In a nod to cryptocurrency investors, Kennedy Jr. promised also protect US rights to unlimited ownership of Bitcoin. He also revealed that he had bought 14 bitcoins for his children, demonstrating his personal involvement with the digital currency.

The impact of the candidate’s support for the cryptocurrency market remains to be seen, but it could certainly be attractive to those advocating for freedom and the future of cryptocurrencies in the US.
