Generalni direktor JPMorgan Chase o Bitcoinu: Kako vemo, da je ponudba omejena na 21 milijonov?

On Thursday (19 January 2023), Jamie Dimon, the Chairman of the Board and CEO of global finances services firm JPMorgan Chase & Co., shared his thoughts on blockchain and crypto during an intervju on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” from the Svetovni gospodarski forum (16-20 January 2023) in Davos, Switzerland.

Dimon, who likes blockchain technology, but is a well-known harsh critic of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, made these comments while being interviewed by Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, who are co-anchors of “Squawk Box”.

Regarding Bitcoin, the JPMorgan Chase CEO said:

"Why you guys waste any breath on this is totally beyond me… Bitcoin itself is a hyped-up fraud. It’s a pet rock… Blockchain is a technology ledger system that we use to move information… We’ve used it to do overnight intraday repo… We’ve used it to move money… So that is a ledger. That’s a technology ledger type of thing that we think will be deployable, but remember we’ve been talking about that for 12 years too, and very little has been done."

And when Kernen tried to defend Bitcoin by saying that it is based on a distributed ledger and has all the characteristics of a store of value and it is scarce because there can only ever exist 21 million bitcoins, Dimon interjected to say:

"Oh yeah, really? How do you know it’s going to stop at 21 million?… Everyone says that… Maybe it’s going to get to 21 million and Satoshi’s picture is going to come up and laugh at you all… And by then, Satoshi will have taken billions of dollars."

As for the collapse of crypto exchange FTX, Dimon had this to say:

"I’m not surprised at all. I called it a decentralized Ponzi scheme. The hype around this thing has been extraordinary. It’s outrageous. Regulations should have stopped this a long time ago… People lost billions of dollars."

On 6 December 2022, Dimon was asked by Andrew Ross Sorkin about the collapse of FTX and if he agreed with U.S. Treasury Secretary Dr. Janet Yellen’s ocenjevanje da je propad FTX »Lehmanov trenutek v kripto«.

Generalni direktor JPMorgan Chase je odgovoril:

"Mislim, da je kriptovaluta popolna postranska predstava ... In vi porabite preveč časa za to, jaz pa sem popolnoma jasno izrazil svoje mnenje: kriptožetoni so kot kamni za ljubljenčke.

"In ljudje navdušujejo te stvari. To ne pomeni, da blockchain ni resničen. To ne pomeni, da pametne pogodbe ne bodo resnične ali splet 3.0, ampak kriptovalute, ki ne delajo ničesar, ne razumem, zakaj ljudje porabijo čas."
