Against the backdrop of Bitcoin price volatility, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman issued a warning for the crypto market, saying that the US government is working hard to "control" Bitcoin.

Is the U.S. government going to war on cryptocurrencies?

According to Forbes, on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Sam Altman expressed his disappointment with the recent actions of the U.S. government. He cited concerns about how states control currencies, specifically his "extreme opposition" stance to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). While U.S. regulators have discussed the possibility of creating a digital dollar, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says it's still years away.

Although Altman has been criticized for supporting Worldcoin, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin. The program uses scanning technology to create a database of people and sends Worldcoin WLD in return.

Altman believes it is important to have a global currency that is not controlled by governments, while Joe Rogan believes that Bitcoin has the potential to become a universal currency.
