Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, referred to Bitcoin as a “decentralized Ponzi scheme” when speaking at the 41st Annual Healthcare Conference hosted by JP Morgan.
In 2017, he stated that Bitcoin was a well-known “scam” and that any JPMorgan trader who was caught trading BTC would be sacked immediately. After that, Dimon became somewhat more open-minded, even going so far as to say that he thinks the blockchain technology has some potential.
Despite its CEO’s aversion to cryptocurrencies, the JPMorgan Group has shown interest in blockchain technology on multiple occasions. Dimon was unwavering in his opposition to bitcoin. According to Dimon, bitcoin is a speculative “asset” that will never be able to replace fiat currency or develop into an effective payment system.
He stated that cryptocurrencies are frequently used for unethical endeavors and pointed to the fact that the majority of people own them as investment vehicles due to the volatility of their pricing rather than to purchase goods and services. He said that this is because cryptocurrencies are decentralized and anyone can create their own cryptocurrency.
Although Dimon is not as caustic in his criticism of cryptocurrencies as he was in 2017, he continues to consider them as hazardous speculative instruments that have no real value. This is despite the fact that he was less severe in his criticism of cryptocurrencies in 2017.
In October, Dimon criticized Bitcoin by calling it “dirty” and “expensive,” expressing his distaste of the cryptocurrency. In December, he explained the cryptocurrency by comparing it to little rocks that you keep as pets.
