U.S. presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. again supported bitcoin and said that the SEC should not have people opposed to cryptocurrencies.</div
In a recent interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy Jr.) criticized the securities regulator for its bias against cryptocurrencies.
He promised that if elected to the presidency, he would nominate cryptocurrency-friendly employees to the SEC.
According to the politician, the agency’s actions are unclear, and it does not even seek to clarify the rules for regulating the crypto industry.
“I don’t want people at the SEC who oppose crypto-assets.
The agency should have people from the crypto community, at the very least they should have a neutral position on digital assets.
The SEC’s function now is not to protect the American people, but to protect the banks, especially the interests of the Central Bank,” Kennedy Jr. said.
The politician is considered an active supporter of bitcoin, as he adopts the first cryptocurrency to promote his political campaign.
Kennedy thinks bitcoin is the perfect base currency – aside from a limited supply of 21 million coins, it has value for people because it gives them a chance to improve their financial situation despite the crisis.
“One of the main advantages of bitcoin is that it can be trusted. There is not a single person who can manipulate him.
Everything is decided by the miners, democratically, with algorithms that can’t be rigged,” Kennedy said.
Recall that in April, Kennedy also came out in support of bitcoin, saying it could save people from financial collapse.
In addition, Kennedy disapproves of the introduction of the digital dollar, believing that it would allow the U.S. authorities to abuse their power.
