POSITIVE IMPACT
Robert Kennedy Jr.'s proposal to back the US dollar with Bitcoin could increase demand for the cryptocurrency, potentially driving its price up.
If Kennedy's proposal is implemented, it would create a new source of demand for Bitcoin as it would be used to back US T-bills. This could increase the price of Bitcoin. However, the proposal is still hypothetical and would need to be approved and implemented, which could take time and face opposition.
