Joe Rogan Says Bitcoin Most Likely Contender for 'Viable Universal Currency'

This week, Openai CEO Sam Altman delved into the nuances of artificial intelligence (AI) on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. As they chatted, Rogan articulated that “a really interesting crypto is bitcoin.” He then explained his belief that bitcoin holds the most promise of emerging as a “viable universal currency.”

According to statistics, Joe Rogan's podcast ranks as one of the most profitable and most listened to shows in the world. In episode #2044, Rogan sits down with Openai CEO, Sam Altman. The duo delves into the pros and cons of AI, but also expands on discussions about central bank digital currencies (CBDC), the FTX debacle, and the leading crypto asset, bitcoin (BTC).

After Altman explained the expanding surveillance landscape in America, Rogan candidly expressed his deep concerns regarding CBDCs, especially their potential link to social credit scores. He is firm in his belief that the CBDC movement is not for the benefit of society but for “control.” Responding to Rogan's CBDC concerns, Altman lamented how the “war on crypto” made him sad about the direction of the country.

The dialogue turns to the FTX failure. Altman quipped, “FTX is such a terrible and hilarious situation that we shouldn't learn much from it.” Rogan found FTX's narrative “fun,” and admitted to his fondness for the wild tales of parties and romance that surrounded them.

He then turned to his machinations for the leading digital currency, bitcoin (BTC). Rogan stated:

A particularly interesting cryptocurrency is bitcoin, to me, that's the one I think has the most possibility of becoming a universal currency. It's limited, people are mining it
 that's very interesting to me, and I love the fact that it's being implemented.
