The fact that RFK garners so much recognition from Bitcoiners is a big problem. He is terrible for Bitcoin and he's only using it to try and cement his far-right bonafides, because unfortunately, in the mainstream political discourse, Bitcoin is just another way that the oligarchs leech wealth out of the workers and kill the planet in doing so.
Now of course I'm not saying I believe that, but being associated with far-right conspiracy theorists who are clearly funded to be divisive figures within the Democratic party only further makes Bitcoin a wedge issue, rather than it becoming a true policy platform that can be seriously presented to the public and debated.
Just like fascism is coming to America draped in the flag and carrying a cross, CBDC totalitarianism comes decked out in orange while calling out the IRS.
Bitcoin is for freedom and is therefore antithetical to far-right politics; let's show some political literacy and not start licking boots the minute someone promises to pump our bags.
