Altman and Rogan Warn Against CBDCs, Say Bitcoin Offers Freedom from Government Control

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Bitcoin a "super logical" step forward that is free of government control and can help fight corruption.

Altman and Joe Rogan expressed concerns about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and worry about increased government surveillance and control.

Rogan said he believes Bitcoin has the potential to become a "universal viable currency" despite skepticism about crypto overall.

Altman argued a decade ago that a world using Bitcoin would enable greater financial transparency and reduce corruption.

Both Altman and Rogan said they are "very worried" about CBDCs and disappointed with the U.S. government's "war on crypto."
