CoinVoice recently learned that according to Decrypt, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate for the US presidency, said that if elected, he would push the federal government to buy $615 billion in Bitcoin until the size of Bitcoin held by the United States matches the country's gold reserves. "Bitcoin is an honest currency, a currency based on proof of work. Everything is on the ledger, it is decentralized, and that's what we need to do with democracy. I hope the federal government will start buying Bitcoin and eventually have the same amount of Bitcoin as gold during my term," Kennedy said in the interview.
It is reported that the US government is the world's largest gold owner, with 8,134 tons of gold. At current prices, gold is worth $615 billion, and 9.4 million BTC are needed to match this value, equivalent to nearly 45% of the total supply. [Original link]
