Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Crypto-Currency
Here are two article that highlight what worries me abou Robert F. Kennedy Jr – Exclusive: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says He Doesn’t Want ‘Anti-Crypto’ People on the SEC and Watch Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Keynote Address at Bitcoin 2023.
Kennedy warned of the danger of centralized digital currency (known as CBDC or central bank digital currency) being abused by governments to track every financial transaction of its citizens and then punish them for bad behavior, noting that “free money is as important to freedom as free expression.”
As far as I am concerned, I think crypto-currencies are a mania that has little reason to exist. These currencies have enough computer mystique to fool many people into thinking that there is some innate value to a crypto-currency. When I think about cry[to-currency I think about the Tulip mania that lasted from 1634 to 1637.
