JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Renews Criticism of Bitcoin as ‘Scam’ and ‘Ponzi Scheme

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon reiterated his long-standing stance, stating, “If you mean crypto like Bitcoin, I’ve always said it’s a fraud.”

Dimon’s criticism extends to his skepticism about Bitcoin’s potential as a currency, asserting, “If they think they’re a currency, there’s no hope for it. It’s a Ponzi scheme.” Despite his condemnation, Dimon did acknowledge the potential value of cryptocurrencies that offer practical applications such as smart contracts, acknowledging their relevance in the modern financial landscape.

This isn’t the first time JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has lambasted Bitcoin, previously likening it to smoking a cigarette and labeling it as “dangerous” and a “waste of time.” He has consistently advocated against its purchase and has called for government intervention to regulate or ban it altogether.

Regulatory Approval and Halving Event Propel Bitcoin into Financial Spotlight

Despite Dimon’s persistent criticism, Bitcoin has experienced remarkable growth, reaching record highs in recent years. Its price surged from $10,000 in September 2020 to over $65,000 in November 2021 before experiencing significant fluctuations. However, it has rebounded, currently trading around $63,000 with a market value of $1.2 trillion.

Moreover, Bitcoin’s prominence in the financial sector has been underscored by recent developments, including the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the impending Bitcoin halving event.
