Kennedy Jr. once again cautioned the public to be wary of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and he insisted that the Biden administration has launched a \u201csteady barrage of hostile broadsides against cryptocurrencies.\u201d Kennedy, who recently filed to run for president of the United States in the 2024 election as a Democrat, also stressed that \u201cbitcoin gives the public an escape route\u201d for when the bubble bursts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Robert Kennedy Jr. \u2014 \u2018White House Is Colluding With the Banksters\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/robert-kennedy-jr-government-could-ban-seize-bitcoin-cbdcs-could-lead-to-financial-slavery-political-tyranny\/\">Robert F.

Kennedy <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RobertKennedyJr\/status\/1645499840963518476?s=20\">stated<\/a> that the claim would be more believable if people were not aware of \u201cthe Biden administration\u2019s steady barrage of hostile broadsides against cryptocurrencies.\u201d The presidential hopeful also shared information about a Pirate Wires <a href=\"https:\/\/www.piratewires.com\/p\/crypto-choke-point\">post<\/a> published by Nic Carter, which discusses \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/law-firms-white-paper-claims-us-bank-regulators-are-waging-a-clandestine-financial-war-against-crypto-businesses\/\">Operation Chokepoint<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent crackdown on crypto blocks exit ramps, removes alternative rails, and strengthens government control over both the financial and political systems,\u201d explained Kennedy. Furthermore, he discussed the massive monetary expansion that took place in America for well over a decade. \u201cBetween 2008-2022, the Fed partnered with a handful of big banks to print $10 trillion \u2014 ten centuries of wealth in 15 years \u2014 a bonanza for the banksters,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy also asserted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin.pdf\">Bitcoin<\/a>, the peer-to-peer electronic cash system, is giving people the means of protection from the financial turmoil that will lead to an inevitable crash. \u201cCryptocurrencies like bitcoin give the public an escape route from the splatter zone when this bubble invariably bursts,\u201d Kennedy emphasized. \u201cSo, the White House is colluding with the banksters to keep us all trapped in the bubble of profiteering and control,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2>CNN Poll Suggests Majority of Democratic Voters Would Like to See an Alternative Nominee<\/h2>\n<p>Kennedy <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/robert-kennedy-jr-presidential-campaign-9fb5ed5c8e1fd31d2a4458d44b086593?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter\">filed<\/a> for candidacy on April 5, 2023, and he would be the fourth member of his family to run for the U.S. presidency.

Kennedy is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/robert-f-kennedy-jr-sets-launch-date-democratic-primary-campaign-against-president-biden\">expected<\/a> to officially announce his run at an event in Boston on April 19, 2023.
