JPMorgans report has been marked.

It's a C-. Not a bad effort but could do better.

Who marks the markers?

"it's" (its)
"bitcoins" (capital B)
"title [HAS] already achieved this"
"so it should just go away...please..." (punctuation doesn't make sense)
"with-held" (withheld)
"Full Word Count excluded" (overuse of capitals)
"Debasement is generally seen as a bad process" (there are better adjectives than bad)
"the west" (capital W)
"Irrelevent" (Irrelevant)
"Bitcoin is it's own economy" (its)

Its is not the same as it's.
Grammar lesson:
Code:
It's is short for it is or it has.
Its is the possessive form of it.

Yes, I know, but Isn't 'It's a C-' fine? It is a C-?  ???

Yep, that's fine, I should've included context:

"bitcoin is it's own economy" (first page of actual report)

Also, while I was checking the context, I spotted:

"I didn’t realise [that] we live[d?] in a dictatorship!"

That one is wrong. It's just its.

Edit oh you mean that's from the report?
