Presidential candidates Donald Trump's and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s speeches at the 2024 Bitcoin conference, which took place this weekend in Nashville, Tennessee, elated cryptocurrency fans and investors.
Kennedy appeared on a conference panel and described the government's reliance on the Federal Reserve as "parasitical."
"The relationship between Congress and the Fed is both parasitical to our country and it’s a symbiotic relationship. The Fed is not a public institution. ... The decision-makers are appointed by the banking industry."
"Lockdowns ... shut down all the small business in this country, which is what we should be nurturing, and kept open the Walmarts, and the Amazons, and Facebook, and the oil industry, and the processed food industries, and Big Ag. They all flourished during that period," Kennedy continued, according to Coindesk.
