Joe Rogan: Bitcoin (BTC) is 'like the early internet'

 


Popular podcaster Joe Rogan proves once again in a recent episode of his show that he understands Bitcoin ( BTC ) at a fundamental level. He ascribes a similar status to the market-leading cryptocurrency as to the early Internet, which has become a revolutionary phenomenon in a very short time.


“I see Bitcoin similar to the early internet. They [the government] didn't have that on their radar and now it's a real currency to pay for things with."

The cryptocurrency, which seems to have come out of nowhere, would have gained so much influence that sooner or later "some government" will introduce a "centralized digital currency that can be controlled" so that in the future the state "can control what you spend your money on “. Since Bitcoin is a public and decentralized network, the cryptocurrency escapes such control.


Rogan is already considered a die-hard fan of BTC, because the prominent presenter talked about it on his show back in 2014 . In a conversation with crypto expert Andreas Antonopoulos in 2016, the podcaster even stated that he “belongs to Team Bitcoin”, even though the price was still below USD 1,000 at the time.


While more and more celebrities have been boasting about their interest in crypto since 2021 at the latest, Rogan's understanding of the topic has noticeably developed and differentiated during this time.


The comedian and TV presenter explained in January of this year that although he has high hopes for Bitcoin, he still sees the danger that the crypto market leader will ultimately fail.


His opinion definitely carries weight , because the “Joe Rogan Experience” is by far the most successful podcast on the Spotify streaming platform, with an average of more than 11 million listeners per episode . Crypto influencer Anthony Pompliano claims that Rogan's show has even more reach than the two American news networks Fox News and CNN combined.


The show's most recent MMA episode guest-starred martial artist Khalil Rountree, who steered the conversation to Bitcoin. In this context, Rountree speaks of a real “revelation”, because he sees the cryptocurrency as an opportunity to build “cross-generational prosperity” for himself and his family.

The MMA fighter, who competes as a professional in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), admits that he doesn't know much about technology or finances, but that's exactly why he sees Bitcoin as an "exciting" technology with great potential .


As an example, Rountree cites North Korean refugee Yeonmi Park, who spoke at this year's Bitcoin conference in Miami on how the cryptocurrency helped her escape to a free life.


In the comments to the YouTube snippet of the podcast episode, fans wish Rogan next invited Jack Mallers, CEO of crypto payments service provider Strike, or former Twitter boss Jack Dorsey , who also works on Bitcoin-related projects .


A Twitter user, meanwhile, is demanding that MicroStrategy CEO and Bitcoin major investor Michael Saylor be invited soon because this would trigger a similar level of hype as the launch of a “direct” Bitcoin ETF .

As of press time, the YouTube snippet of the Rountree episode has racked up almost 300,000 views, while Joe Rogan remains at #1 on Spotify's US podcast chart .

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has
