RFK Jr.: "I put most of my wealth into Bitcoin"

[Lucius]

@Stompix, maybe he was attacked by some other brain worm or he said that under the influence of something much more real in the world of politics. I don't know, it's hard for me to understand how someone would make a statement and not think for a moment that someone would relatively easily find data that contradicts such a statement.

Here is one big quote coming from RFK Jr.: "I'm a huge supporter of Bitcoin. I was here a year ago at the other Bitcoin conference. I went home and put most of my wealth into Bitcoin, so I'm fully committed."

We need more men and women like RFK Jr. who can soon be in the power circle of the White House...to somehow influence the policy and mindset of the coming administration for the industry we are in.

His history has shown how much optimistic this man is and he never underestimates any opportunity so after attending a bitcoin conference he got convinced that BTC is that next big thing and he went home and invested in it then the conference must be good or he have a bright mind.

He also worked on enviromental pollution projects so he can also decrease the pressure of green world agenda on BTC mining and on the other side Trump will remove taxes on mining BTC then USA will become a hub for BTC miners. Many independent candidates that left their seats and joined Trump are supports of BTC.

I don't think RFK Jr. is that committed to BTC. He could open his account for us to verify Somehow, I am skeptical about these politicians and Government officials recent posts about bitcoin and crypto in general. I guess it's just me not putting a lot of optimism because these guys could quickly change once they are in office.

I don't know much about RFK Jr, but I believe just like Trump, he also has lots of influence on the people. I don't really care if he is telling the truth about converting most of his wealth into Bitcoin, I am more concerned about the influence such statement will have on the people who follow him and see him as a model. This might motivate more people who look up to him and Trump, to adopt bitcoin with confidence since the bigger guys hold bitcoins too.

Opening his Account for public view, in my opinion, may be going extreme,  if he has some of wealth on Bitcoin, it could  truth or not but not necessarily a good idea to ask for his account to be open for everyone to see because of his statement.
I think that indirectly, it is a sort of promoting crypto, whether true or not, such statements could be a blessing to the crypto community unawares. There is no doubt that politicians can change their minds once they resumes office, but sometimes we give them some benefits of the doubt.

So we have arrived at the point where we don't even care anymore if it is a truth or a lie but because it's better for our pocket we are fine with it?
Fake news, fake promises, fake everything it's ok as long as it serves its purpose of making somebody rich.

Then how can one be angry at the government and at the banks when you stat cheering the same thing you hated previously?

He made the right choice at the right moment because the price of BTC has increased a lot since then and he surely be making a profit, and I doubt if he will ever book a profit in the first place. I'm not interested in knowing whether he booked or not, as I don't even know how much he invested. He is making efforts really and now the bigger influence is coming from Trump and his wallet that he made public, like what he is buying and selling is having a big impact on those coins too.

Like he bought X, I would also prefer to buy X, but this would be a big risk too, as manipulation can also happen here, as we all know an elephant's tusks are different for display and chewing. Although this is good news.

Yes, that's good, we now have many influential figures in the United States who support Bitcoin, led by Trump himself, Elon Musk, and now Robert F. Kennedy Jr., of course there are many more, but these three are the most famous.

Since the climate is now all moving towards supporting Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies with Trump taking over, I wouldn't be surprised if every day there is a new news about a major politician or important man investing his money in Bitcoin, even if they are lying and fluctuating with the winds quickly, but this propaganda will be in favor of the Bitcoin community.

for a lot of us not in america we might not be able to recognize their politicians let alone know whether they are pro crypto or not trump is well known because he was once president and now elected once again elon musk is famous for his business ventures a few examples being tesla and his acquisition of then twitter now x and rfk jr who is son of a very famous politician but you are right that there are so much many more politicians out there that we do not know that are part of trump's team but are into bitcoin

even if they are lying you are right that those who follow that personality will believe him and start trusting bitcoin as well

Elon Musk? How does he support BTC, as for Trump he only showed support during his campaign, when he needed the votes of the crypto community. Now we have to wait until he is president, politicians are usually more after their own interest, they might not even care about BTC, these people you mentioned.

Yes, my dear, we all know that these people do not believe in Bitcoin in reality, I mean in its concept based on decentralization and privacy, they are only using it at the present time because it serves their political and economic interests.

But this does not matter because these people benefit Bitcoin greatly, these influential people, headed by Trump, the President of the United States, and Musk, the richest man in the world, will do a lot for the Bitcoin community and its spread around the world, and this is what concerns us at the present time.

I know that Trump spoke about a strategic BTC reserve, though i don't know if it will eventually become possible, because it is not his decision alone to make. However, as for Musk, i don't know why he is in the discussion, he cares about shitcoins far more than he ever cares about BTC.

It's the FED that has final word for it as they are task to do that, and with that, Powell says not to BTC as national reserved because it's volatile. Nevertheless, as President, maybe he can still have the power to overturn it.

Everyone is already into BTC, not just RFK Jr, but there are a lot maybe that we might not know and secretly buying maybe in the last 5-7 years as BTC become prominence around 2017-2018.

All of these helps to make it a lot more appealing and the good thing is it can still get better, price wise.

It sounds a little selfish, but I am also happy if the cryptocurrency world experiences growth thanks to political contributions in the White House... from here we will realize that government contributions do interfere a little with the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, but behind it all there will be many people who are happy too, especially Bitcoin holders when the government begins to open their minds to cryptocurrency... significant growth is already in sight when the government really makes cryptocurrency an important aspect of the economy.

Trump's cabinet seems to be filled with several representatives of cryptocurrency lovers, which makes some policies that tend to trigger crypto growth to be faster.

[philipma1957]

@Stompix, and I read that, and it's hard for me to believe that he really said that - now I wonder what kind of world we live in if someone thinks that he is capable of being Secretary of health and human services in the US

To me, I picture all this as a very strange dream from which I hope to wake up, but I pinch myself several times a day and realize that it is true. Then it becomes clear to me why politicians in some other countries celebrate the fact that Mr. Donald became president and gathered all these geniuses around him - so if they don't destroy everything they touch, I don't know who ever will.

I go with the matrix theory. Just hoping the next loop they play include my wife as she is solid.
