‘I put most of my wealth into Bitcoin, so I’m fully committed’ – RFK
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made headlines once again due to his speech – former presidential candidate has “put” most of his wealth into Bitcoin (BTC).
The former freedom candidate described Bitcoin as the currency of freedom in a November 16 blog post and reiterated the digital asset's power to prevent currency inflation. In a recently resurfaced video, RFK Jr. said:
“I'm a big fan of Bitcoin. I was here a year ago at another Bitcoin conference and went home and put a lot of my money into Bitcoin so I'm fully committed.”
Kennedy has been an outspoken supporter of Bitcoin for years — arguing that a decentralized, supply-limited, neutral currency and other hard assets like gold and silver could stabilize the U.S. dollar from a currency crash.

In the year In a July 2024 interview with Cointelegraph editor Sam Burgi, RFK emphasized that Bitcoin would secure the US dollar's reserve currency status.
