The crypto world doesn't need Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the long-shot candidate challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic 2024 nomination, believes the CIA had a role in the assassination of his uncle, JFK. He opposes vaccines on the grounds they're a medical conspiracy, and he has boosted a theory that Bill Gates is out to control us all with microchips. He's a crackpot in other words.

But since Kennedy's family is political royalty, he is no ordinary crackpot. Thanks to his pedigree, he has an outsize megaphone and can summon audiences that would otherwise pay no attention to him or his kooky ideas. Those audiences include the throngs next week at the annual tribal gathering known as Bitcoin Miami, where Kennedy will make his first official appearance as a presidential candidate.
