Former President Donald Trump’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience has left the cryptocurrency community disappointed as he avoided talking about crypto. Instead, the conversation flowed into various topics such as Trump’s reflections on his presidency, his interaction with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and even his thoughts on the existence of aliens.

Trump’s Unexpected Omission
Listeners tuned into the three hours podcast, hoping to hear Trump’s insights on crypto. As the Former Presidents’s influence in financial discussions grows, the community awaits his thoughts and plans for the industry. However, they were met with a focus on more traditional political topics instead. Trump talked about his biggest mistake in the office (hiring disloyal people) and shared his views on political rivals, but the absence of any mention of crypto left many scratching their heads.
Pre-Planned Podcast Agenda?
Speculations suggests that the Former President avoided discussing crypto due to his struggling crypto venture, World Liberty Financial which faced significant challenges, with reports indicating it flopped at its launch. The reports suggest it sold less than 5% of its token offerings. This failure raises questions about the project’s viability and could explain why the Former President and Joe Rogan avoided discussing cryptocurrency.
Joe Rogan has consistently held a mixed stance on cryptocurrency. While he has expressed its skepticism, refering to it as “weird fucking imaginary money,” he has also spoken positively about Bitcoin in the past suggesting it could be a solution to global monetary issues. His recent comments indicate his hesitant approach towards the industry.
Did Joe Rogan and Trump pre-plan the podcast topics, intentionally avoiding cryptocurrency?
Another theory proposes that both parties may not fully understand the crypto industry’s nuances and hence avoided to talk about it.
As the crypto conversation continues to evolve, many are left wondering if Trump will ever seize the opportunity to discuss this critical issues in future interviews.
