The company’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, has spoken out as a Bitcoin critic. In 2017 he named the most important cryptocurrency „fraud“ and „swindle“
Dimon hasn’t changed his negative stance on BTC despite the bull run of the plans of big companies like PayPal to want to use Bitcoin. At the New York Times‘ DealBook Online Summit on November 18, Dimon compared cryptocurrency to blockchain networks with regulatory scrutiny. He explained: „Bitcoin is somehow different and not my thing.“
Despite the CEO’s skepticism about Bitcoin , JPMorgan told investors in October 2020 that „the long-term upside potential for Bitcoin is substantial“. This suggests that the BTC rate would double or triple over the long term.
