Worldcoin CEO Accuses US Government of War Against Cryptos
During a podcast hosted by Joe Rogan, Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI and co-founder of Worldcoin, has stated that the US government is aggressively targeting the crypto industry and is attempting to seize control of Bitcoin.
He believes that Bitcoin, as a global decentralized currency, is a crucial step in technological progress.
However, Altman expresses concern about the level of government surveillance and control over the industry.
He is strongly opposed to the concept of CBDCs, or national digital currencies. At the same time, during the current US election race, candidate Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. referred to Bitcoin as “the currency of freedom” and promised to protect it if he were to be elected president.
Kennedy also criticized US regulators for their “war on cryptocurrencies” and denounced the idea of CBDCs.
It’s worth mentioning that in September, sources from the Wall Street Journal revealed that OpenAI was in talks with investors to sell shares and potentially increase the company’s valuation to $80-90 billion.
