American podcast host Joe Rogan has agreed to be paid $100,000 in Bitcoin.
Rogan has already signed a $100 million deal with Spotify for exclusive rights to his podcast, but has now negotiated to be part-paid in crypto as well.
Rogan has been known as a crypto advocate since he urged his audience of 200 million to buy Bitcoin and ‘start stacking Sats’.
On his podcast – the Joe Rogan Experience – Rogan, also a good friend of Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey, promoted Bitcoin as part of an app advertisement and praised its ability to let users automatically purchase Bitcoin at different intervals based on their preferences.
“With the Cash App, you can automatically purchase Bitcoin, daily, weekly, or even bi-weekly, known in the industry as stacking sats,” he said.
“Bitcoin, what it is for sure, is a transformational digital currency that acts as a decentralized peer-to peer-payment network powered by its users with no central authority.
“I love it. I wish it was the way we exchanged currency and maybe it will be in the future. Get on board.”
NFTs are crypto hustle
However, even though he likes crypto, he seems perplexed when it comes to non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Recently, Rogan called NFTs a “cryptocurrency hustle” and added he was not interested in NFTs.
“NFTs are weird hustle, I think it’s like a cryptocurrency hustle. It doesn’t make any sense to me,” he commented.
