General

In
less
than
four
weeks,
independent
presidential
candidate
Robert
F.
Kennedy
Jr.
will
take
the
stage
in
Austin,
TX,
at Consensus
2024, the
world’s
largest,
longest-running,
and
most
influential
gathering
that
brings
together
all
sides
of
the
crypto
and
Web3
community.
As

an
environmental
lawyer,
scion
of
a
Democratic
political
dynasty,
and
now
maverick
presidential
candidate,
Kennedy
will
explain
his
support
for
cryptocurrency
and
self-custody.

“I’m
looking
forward
to
speaking
later
this
month
at
Consensus
2024.
I
am
determined
to
keep
America
the
world
leader
in
blockchain
innovation,”
Kennedy
said.
“We
can’t
allow
hostile
regulators
to
drive
this
technology
abroad.”

Mr.
Kennedy
has
been
a
vocal
supporter
of
cryptocurrencies,
highlighting
their
potential
to
help
the
middle
class
and
protect
transactional
freedom
to
Americans.
He
has
recently
proposed
putting
the
entire
U.S.
budget
on
the
blockchain
to
enable
every
American
to
access
and
scrutinize
budget
items
around
the
clock.
His
stance
on
cryptocurrencies
has
positioned
him
as
a
distinctive
and
forward-thinking
voice
in
crypto.
