Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) has been making bold claims about the COVID-19 vaccines and now says he would back the US dollar with bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>). 
The Democratic presidential candidate shared his pro-crypto, especially bitcoin, policies in a video recording with Heal The Divide and Bitcoin Magazine. RFK Jr. added that he plans to start “very small” by backing just 1% of the Treasury Bills (T-bills) “by hard currency, by gold, silver platinum or bitcoin.” 
The allocation will increase gradually, RFK Jr., the nephew of the 35th US President John F. Kennedy, <a href="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/5S9igNBe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a>.
