ChainCatcher News, U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced at the Bitcoin 2023 conference that he will accept Bitcoin donations, becoming the first presidential candidate in U.S. history to accept Bitcoin campaign contributions.

Additionally, during the conference, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised cryptocurrency as "a symbol of democracy and freedom." He had previously publicly condemned President Biden's proposed 30% tax on Bitcoin mining and addressed concerns about cryptocurrency, stating that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, along with other crypto technologies, are major engines of innovation. It is wrong for the U.S. government to hinder this industry and push innovation elsewhere; the U.S. needs cash and cryptocurrency to ensure freedom, and a diverse monetary ecosystem will make the U.S. economy more resilient.
