So it seem like RFK Jr is openly courting the crypto and bitcoin communities.
I’d love to hear what people on Nostr think about him, and about his reputation and viewpoints.

Politicians won’t save us.
begging for donations is begging for donations. bitcoin or fiat. pandering will get the money. he knows that.
You're going to get a range of opinions, because nostriches tend to be independent/think for themselves
I can’t speak for everyone, but we’re generally a pretty jaded bunch when it comes to believing the things politicians say when they’re running for office.
One of the main reasons we choose bitcoin (not crypto) is because it’s a stake in the heart of major financial institutions who are so intertwined with the political establishment.
Hes a politician, they are all snakes. it doesn't really matter who they're currently pandering to.
Although I like that he’s into bitcoin, that’s still not enough for me to vote for him.
it's just bitcoin, not crypto please.
bitcoin != crypto.
I am a supporter of RFK. I don't necessarily believe he will be able to change the system, but I do think he is less of a stooge than most candidates. If he believes that the CIA murdered his uncle and his father then he has an axe to grind and I'd love to give him the chance to swing it.
Voting isn't ever going to be a solution to much of anything, but he seems genuinely opposed to the war machine & anti-big pharma which are the greatest threats at the moment so I'm all for him getting as much podcast time & attention as possible.
I think RFK would distinguish himself better with clear policy regarding bitcoin, and he would do best distancing himself from "crypto", which is inextricably tied to venality and cynical money grabs. Bitcoin has enhanced the financial freedom and enriched the intellectual lives of anyone who has taken the time, while crypto has only left people confused and angry at the handful of influencers and scammers who have separated them from their money.
Did you update that article you wrote recently to say Jack wrote on Nostr instead of Primal?
I don't trust or give a shit about ANY politician, presidential candidate, gov and such.
A true bitcoiner must pursue his own individual sovereignty.
Bitcoin is an anti-thesis of any gov or politician, or state.
We’ll solve with violence what we don’t solve with diplomacy
But in the mean time, I would like a less worse president #lgbfjb isn't is and neither was #maga... I don't ever see a libertarian party candidate get in. So having one with at least a few libertarian ideas might be nice.
Thoughts on Vivek Ramaswamy?
I generally vote libertarian but may vote RFK Jr if he is the Dem nominee. His stances on freedom/censorship/defense are more important than whether the tax rate is a few % pts one way or the other.
RFK is mainstream anti-nuclear and echoes all stupid pre-judices against this technology. He may tell about Bitcoin what he wants. The former is a no go in the 21st century.
