- Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. criticized the SEC
- He accused the regulator of supporting banks over ordinary Americans
- Also the politician does not want anti-crypto people at the agency
Robert Kennedy Jr. is one American politician who openly supports the cryptocurrency sector.
In early May, he publicly condemned the actions of regulators, saying that they exceeded their authority.
Later, at the Bitcoin 2023 conference, he announced that he would be accepting donations for his BTC campaign.
The Street published an interview with Kennedy Jr. last week, May 26. A reporter was able to talk to him backstage at the conference.
In the course of the conversation, the U.S. presidential candidate repeatedly criticized the SEC and its head:
“I do not want people in the agency who are against crypto.. At worst, they should maintain a neutral position.
And, of course, I would like to see people from the industry among them.”
The politician also praised the “democratic” nature of bitcoin:
“I think BTC is trustworthy. He cannot be manipulated. It meets the principles of democracy.
Any decision is made by participants through an algorithm that cannot be controlled.”
Kennedy Jr. called bitcoin the best reference currency, the ideal outlet for most capital holders:
“We need to create as many solutions as possible for everyday Americans. So they can keep their money without the Central Bank taking it away.”
Cryptocurrency has unexpectedly become a key campaign topic for several U.S. presidential candidates at once.
For example, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who also intends to run for the White House, has previously said that bitcoin “will die” if Biden wins.
