Robert Kennedy Jr: “I became a bitcoiner when I saw what the Canadian government did against those who protested”
“I Became a Bitcoiner When I Saw What Canada Did to Truck Drivers”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who is trying to secure the Democratic nomination for the presidential race of the United States of America, has just revealed himself as a bitcoiner in no uncertain terms in a historic speech given at the pivotal #Bitcoin2023 conference in Miami.
Before a crowd of spectators in the Satoshi Nakamoto room, the presidential candidate said he saw the need to buy Bitcoin last year during the #FreedomConvoy protests, when the Trudeau government invoked the Emergency Act (basically declaring martial law) and began seizing the bank accounts of ordinary citizens protesting against vaccination obligations.
RFK stated unequivocally that “the truckers' demonstration was peaceful” and that freedom of money was as basic as freedom of speech.
“When I witnessed this… devastating use of government repression, I realized for the first time how important free money is as much as freedom of expression.”
“ Guess what? The government always has a good excuse to take away your rights ,” as he began to spin out the now-familiar iterations of “that last thing” that was supposed to be a collective cause bigger and more important than our individual civil and human rights:
Terrorism, Covid, pandemics, climate, the list goes on: "Utopia will come when the government can exercise total control over the population".
“Bitcoin is a bulwark against tyranny.”
The Democratic candidate then listed a series of policies that demonstrate a much deeper knowledge of Bitcoin and a deep understanding of cryptocurrencies and the monetary policies they represent,
RFK said, “ As president, the right to own Bitcoin will be inviolable ,” as will self-custody and management of one's nodes. " The government has no right to get into your wallet ."
While encouraging Bitcoin miners to continue optimizing for renewable and clean energy (where the Bitcoin industry is far ahead of most of Wall St's green darlings), he also harshly attacked climate alarmists stating that, being an environmentalist himself, energy use and environmental concerns should never be used as an excuse to suppress Bitcoin.
“First, I will defend the right to self-custody of bitcoins and other digital assets,” he said.
“Secondly, I will support the right to run a 'node' at home…
“Third, I will defend a use-neutral and industry-neutral energy regulation…”
“Fourth, I will ensure that the United States remains the global hub of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies…”.
I will reverse the government's growing hostility towards this sector."

He called our current era “an era of turnkey totalitarianism” and went further, stating that today's Bitcoiners embody the same ethics and impulses as the original drafters of the US Constitution.
“We are living in an era of turnkey totalitarianism… and our job is to try to build and strengthen democratic institutions at the same pace,” he concluded.
“The biggest and most important on the horizon is Bitcoin, because it cannot be manipulated”.
It was, as mentioned, a historical discourse.
This warns screeching hysterics like Elizabeth Warren and her “anti-crypto army” that there is a real political constituency in America and a momentum that transcends party lines (independent Tulsi Gabbard and Republican Patrick McHenry, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, are also present at #Bitcoin2023).
He concluded his speech by announcing that he will be the first presidential candidate in history to accept campaign donations in Bitcoin through the Lightning Network and received a standing ovation.
For those who took revenge for supporting #FreedomConvoy last year, having a candidate for the US presidency from such a prominent political line was pure revenge. #FreedomConvoy organizer BJ Dichter was there to witness in person.
Watch this space for when the video is available and I will post it here. RFK's speech was joined by that of Microstrategy's Michael Saylor, who explained very clearly why a company should convert its balance sheet liabilities into digital assets that appreciate rapidly, and by Whitney Webb who gave a reassuring speech on the WEFPac. Not sure what WEFPAC is? It's the WEF Partnership Against Cybercrime, the new merger of commercial banks, regulators and intelligence agencies. In other words, the framework for CBDCs.
