Robert Kennedy Jr. Calls Bitcoin The 'Currency of Freedom,' Backs Trump's Treasury Secretary Pick As Best For Crypto

Former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. didn’t mince words when he praised Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) as a solution to the U.S. national debt and an inflation hedge.

What Happened: Kennedy recently took to X to express his unwavering support for the leading cryptocurrency.

“Bitcoin is the currency of freedom, a hedge against inflation for middle-class Americans, a remedy against the dollar's downgrade from the world's reserve currency, and the offramp from a ruinous national debt,” he said.

Kennedy also firmly endorsed Howard Lutnik for Treasury Secretary in the incoming Donald Trump administration, arguing that the Cantor Fitzgerald CEO would be a major advocate of Bitcoin.
