The two celebrities expressed their distrust and apprehension of CBDCs, which are digital versions of national currencies issued and controlled by central banks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They argued that CBDCs could pose a threat to individual freedom and privacy, as well as enable government manipulation and coercion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Rogan and Post Malone\u2019s Fears of CBDCs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Joe Rogan and Post Malone had a candid conversation about CBDCs, which are being explored or developed by many countries around the world, including China,<\/a> the Bahamas<\/a>, and Nigeria. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the possibility of a U.S. CBDC, Rogan responded strongly, saying that it would be a disaster. He said, \u201cNo way, I think that\u2019s checkmate. That\u2019s game over,\u201d<\/em> a sentiment echoed by Post Malone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their conversation took a dystopian turn as Rogan highlighted the potential dangers of a social credit score system,<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> which could be used to monitor and control people\u2019s behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogan\u2019s concerns extended to the possibility of government control over people\u2019s finances, emphasizing that authorities might seek to strip individuals of their money to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They presented the fear of the government arbitrarily seizing funds as a driving force behind compliance, which made individuals feel powerless and lack recourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably absent from the dialogue were references to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, their discussion resonated positively within the crypto industry, where leaders and figures largely share concerns about CBDCs\u2019 potential adverse impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring the debates behind the growing adoption of CBDCs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Caitlin Long,<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> CEO of Custodia Bank, aligned her perspective with Rogan and Post Malone\u2019s views after discussing with the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She emphasized that CBDCs could signify the erosion of privacy and property rights in financial assets, highlighting the potential dangers of a government-controlled digital currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam Callahan,<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> a Bitcoin analyst at Swan, a financial services company, welcomed the conversation as a positive step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Callahan pointed out that having influential figures like Post Malone address these concerns on a prominent podcast reflects the increasing integration of these topics into the mainstream consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sentiment resonates with the growing dialogue on CBDCs, which political figures have further propelled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two U.S. presidential hopefuls, Ron DeSantis and Robert Kennedy Jr., have contributed to the discussion from opposing viewpoints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kennedy has labeled CBDCs as \u201cinstruments of control,\u201d<\/em> while DeSantis has accused President Joe Biden of waging a \u201cwar on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.\u201d<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/em>

CBDCs have sparked discussions across the mainstream landscape, drawing attention from both supporters and skeptics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
