Jamie Dimon has offered baseless condemnation on bitcoin for many years,
calling it a bubble, a fraud, and a money laundering tool. This week,
ironically, JPMorgan was cracked down for money laundering, after being fined
$4 billion for mortgage fraud in September, merely two months ago.
多年來大力抨擊Bitcoin、將它貼上泡沫、詐欺、洗錢工具等標籤的Jamie Dimon，
旗下的摩根大通，九月才因為貸款詐欺被裁罰40億美元，本週諷刺地被逮到涉及洗錢。
Dimon and JPMorgan Criticized
Since early 2016, JPMorgan and its CEO Jamie Dimon have focused on attempting
to commercialize and market the term ‘blockchain” to compete with bitcoin.
The company has seen hardly any success with its blockchain technology “
Quorum,” which was developed by the JPMorgan development team within the
Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA).
Realizing the lack of potential, applicability, and commercial success of
permissioned blockchain technology, Dimon began to take a different approach;
by directly condemning bitcoin, despite the harsh criticisms of highly
respected venture capitalists and experts such as Apple co-founder Steve
Wozniak, prominent venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, and billionaire
hedge fund legend Mike Novogratz.
In response to Dimon’s comments, Wozniak emphasized that bitcoin is the most
legitimate system that exists, because it is decentralized, transparent, and
operates on a peer-to-peer network that is censorship resistant. Wozniak
stated at the Money2020 conference:

“Bitcoin is mathematical. I am a mathematician. There are only 21 million.
It is more legitimate than other systems. There is a certain finite amount of
bitcoin that can ever exist. Gold gets mined and mined and mined. Maybe there
’s a finite amount of gold in the world, but Bitcoin is even more
mathematical and regulated and nobody can change mathematics.”
In spite of criticisms from experts, Dimon continued to push through with his
agenda and condemn bitcoin publicly, while JPMorgan traders and their clients
have invested in bitcoin through the Swedish stock market Nordic Nasdaq.
Dimon Falsely Accuses Bitcoin of Being Money Laundering Tool
Dimon falsely accused bitcoin of being a money laundering tool earlier this
year. Then, JPMorgan was fined $4 billion for committing mortgage fraud, and
has been busted for money laundering.
Today, ironically, leading Swiss daily news publication Handelszeitung
reported that the Swiss subsidiary of JPMorgan was charged by the Swiss
regulator, FINMA, for money laundering and “seriously violating supervision
laws.”
Subsequent to inaccurately portraying bitcoin as a fraudulent financial
network, JPMorgan and Jamie Dimon have been exposed of two major scandals and
fraudulent operations.
Various studies since 2016 have shown that the majority of millennials feel
disconnected from the banking sector and do not trust major financial
institutions with their wealth, capital, and investment. The hypocrisy and
the conceitful nature of major banks and financial service provider will only
result in the demise of the finance industry in the long-term, as
decentralized networks continue to render intermediaries obsolete.
False accusations and depictions of bitcoin by Dimon and other bank
executives will only hasten the mainstream adoption of bitcoin and the
migration of wealth from the traditional finance sector to decentralized
cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.
評論：
Dimon 你看看你...
但我漸漸開始相信BTC泡沫的成分愈來愈膨起來了，
它的使用價值遠遠跟不上市價。
我也開始相信它有詐騙色彩了，bitcoin.org首頁上的三項宣稱已經跳票兩項了。
Bitcoin有機會再upgrade變成很好很實用的幣嗎？
還是只能前浪被後浪推上沙灘去呢？
