As an experienced political analyst, I find Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to speak at the Consensus 2024 crypto conference intriguing, given his unique background as an environmental lawyer, a member of a prominent Democratic political dynasty, and now, a maverick independent U.S. presidential candidate advocating for cryptocurrency and self-custody.


Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent U.S. presidential hopeful known for advocating for cryptocurrencies during his campaign, is set to deliver a speech at the Consensus 2024 digital currency event in Austin, Texas, later this month.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about Kennedy’s upcoming explanation of his stance on cryptocurrencies and self-custody. Being an environmental lawyer and a prominent figure in Democratic politics adds intrigue to his views on this revolutionary technology. The press release from CoinDesk, organizer of the annual event, has piqued my interest even more.

In recent times, cryptocurrencies have gained significant political attention in the United States, with a notable divide between Republicans who are pro-crypto and Democrats who express opposition or skepticism at most. As a member of a renowned Democratic family, Kennedy’s stance on crypto sets him apart from his party’s historical standpoint. His uncle, John F. Kennedy, held the presidency in the 1960s, while his father served as U.S. Attorney General during that tenure and later ran for president himself. Despite these Democratic ties, Kennedy is distinguishing himself on the crypto issue.

I’ve analyzed the current standings in the presidential election, and it appears that Donald Trump trails significantly behind both the presumptive Republican nominee and the incumbent Democratic nominee, Joe Biden.
