The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has expressed concern over the US government’s actions against cryptocurrencies, stating that it feels like a war on crypto assets. Altman believes that while there is a need for regulations within the industry, the government’s approach is disappointing. He acknowledges the potential for a surveillance state but argues that digital payments, even with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, can help reduce corruption. Altman also mentions the collapse of FTX, a multibillion-dollar crypto exchange, as an example of why regulations are necessary. Despite his concerns, Altman emphasizes that he is not against regulations. He highlights the importance of currencies like Bitcoin, which are not controlled by governments, as a significant technological advancement for humanity. Altman’s involvement in the crypto space, including his work on the identity-based crypto project Worldcoin, has further fueled his excitement about the potential of cryptocurrencies.
