美国民主党总统候选人、肯尼迪家族后裔和著名的疫苗怀疑者小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪曾经在迈阿密,对2023年比特币大会(Bitcoin 2023)的观众表示,他“将维护比特币和其他数字资产的自我托管权利”。

之后,他滔滔不绝地介绍了比特币的好处,但他信誓旦旦地称,他“不是投资者”,而且他登台并不是“为了提供投资建议”。然而,据美国消费者新闻与商业频道(CNBC)获得的财务披露信息显示,他的家族信托持有的全球规模最大的加密货币,市值达到10万美元至25万美元。(但这笔投资带来的收益不足201美元。)

相比他和他的家族持有的资产,其家族信托持有的比特币显得微不足道。他的家族拥有数十万美元的现金,有价值数百万美元的不动产,还有一系列股票、债券和货币市场产品。

肯尼迪竞选团队的发言人在一封电子邮件中表示:“肯尼迪先生对比特币的投资,发生在他发言之后和6月30日申报截止日期之前。这并不冲突。”他所说的是,肯尼迪对比特币的投资和他作为总统候选人鼓吹比特币,被认为存在明显的利益冲突。

肯尼迪的比特币投资最近被曝光之前,公开发表了一系列支持加密货币的言论。

今年5月,正式启动竞选仅仅超过两周后,他发推文称“美国联邦存款保险公司(Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation)和美国证券交易委员会(Securities and Exchange Commission)无权对加密货币发起一场法律管辖范围以外的战争。”他提到了美国联邦存款保险公司要求倒闭的银行放弃加密货币业务的主张,以及美国证券交易委员会的诉讼。

不久之后,他以主讲嘉宾的身份出席了在迈阿密召开的2023年比特币大会,这是他作为美国总统候选人的首次公开露面。当时,他说自己并不是数字资产的投资者。

在6月30日提交财务披露表的前三天,他依旧在鼓吹加密货币。他在披露表中公布了其家族的加密货币投资。他发推文称:“比特币不只是对抗极权主义和反对操纵货币供应的堡垒,它还指明了未来使政府变得更透明、更民主的途径。”(财富中文网)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—Democratic candidate for president, scion of the Kennedy family, and noted vaccine skeptic—told a crowd of onlookers in Miami at the Bitcoin 2023 conference that he “will defend the right of self-custody of Bitcoin and other digital assets.”

He then waxed on about Bitcoin’s benefits but clearly said that he was “not an investor” and that he wasn’t onstage “to give investment advice.” However, according to a financial disclosure obtained by CNBC, his family’s trust holds between $100,000 and $250,000 in the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. (The investment, though, generated an income of less than $201.)

The amount in Bitcoin his family trust owns is relatively minuscule compared to his and his family’s string of assets, which include hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, properties worth millions, and a suite of stocks, bonds, and money-market holdings.

“Mr. Kennedy’s investments in Bitcoin were made AFTER he made his speech and BEFORE the June 30th reporting deadline. There is no conflict,” a spokesperson for Kennedy’s campaign said in an email, referring to any perceived conflict of interest between Kennedy’s Bitcoin investment and his Bitcoin boosterism as a presidential candidate.

Kennedy’s newly revealed investment in Bitcoin follows a string of public comments backing the cryptocurrency.

In May, a little more than two weeks after he officially launched his campaign, he tweeted that the “FDIC and SEC have no authority to wage an extralegal war on crypto,” referring to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insistence that a failed bank give up its crypto business as well as a storm of litigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Shortly after, he appeared as a keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami, where he made his first public appearance as a presidential candidate and said he wasn’t an investor in the digital asset.

And just three days before he filed his financial disclosure form on June 30, in which he revealed his family’s investment in the cryptocurrency, he continued his Bitcoin boosterism. “Bitcoin is not only a bulwark against totalitarianism and the manipulation of our money supply,” he tweeted, “it points the way toward a future in which government institutions are more transparent and more democratic.”
