MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor has thrown down the gauntlet to Joe Rogan, publicly challenging the podcast host to a Bitcoin discussion on The Joe Rogan Experience. The bold move came in response to a fan question about dream guests, with Saylor's May 31 tweet simply stating: "Hey @joerogan, let's talk about Bitcoin."
The Bitcoin faithful immediately recognized the potential seismic impact of such an interview. The Bitcoin Therapist predicted the conversation would "shatter the internet," while analyst Kook suggested Saylor could "Bitcoin pill" Rogan. Notably, even casual observers like commentator Brandon MacDougal admitted they'd break their JRE boycott for this episode.
Rogan's history with digital assets makes him fertile ground for Saylor's evangelism. During an October 2023 episode with OpenAI's Sam Altman, the host singled out Bitcoin as "the most likely possibility of becoming a universal viable currency," praising its limited supply and real-world implementation. His platform has hosted crypto pioneers before, including multiple 2014-2016 appearances by Andreas Antonopoulos when BTC traded below $1,000.
Saylor brings unique credibility as leader of MicroStrategy, which holds 【580,250 BTC】 worth approximately 【$60.47 billion】. His recent commentary on Coin Stories podcast suggests he views the current market as a transition period, with short-term sellers making way for new institutional investors. ——"We're going through a rotation right now,"—— he observed on May 9, while maintaining his characteristic long-term bullish outlook.
As of press time, Rogan hasn't publicly responded to Saylor's challenge. But with Bitcoin hovering around $104,000 and mainstream interest growing, the timing appears ripe for what could become cryptocurrency's most-watched interview since Elon Musk's SNL appearance. The crypto world now waits to see if Rogan will take the bait on what promises to be a watershed moment for digital asset adoption.
