OpenAI's Sam Altman Assessed Bitcoin As A "Logical Step"
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman showed his enthusiasm for Bitcoin (BTC) during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, calling it a "super logical" step up the tech tree. Altman emphasized the importance of a global currency that works independently of government control, highlighting its potential to combat corruption.
Altman and Rogan both expressed reservations about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), with Rogan particularly concerned about the possibility of CBDCs being linked to a social credit score, resulting in increased surveillance. Altman also criticized the United States government's treatment of the cryptocurrency industry.
Altman wrote about Bitcoin in a blog post published a decade ago, in which he claimed that a society in which transactions were conducted in Bitcoin would be more transparent and less prone to corruption. Sam Altman is also the founder of Worldcoin (WLD), which has come under investigations over privacy concerns.
