Bitcoin Forum

Speaking on Tuesday at an Axios conference in Los Angeles, Dimon was asked about why he changed his mind on bitcoin. True to form, he doubled down on his previous statements, saying that he hadn’t changed his mind and just doesn’t “give a sh*t” about the subject.

He said:

    “I never changed what I said, I just regret having said it. I didn’t want to be the spokesman against bitcoin. I don’t really give a sh*t, that’s the point, okay? Blockchain is real, it’s technology, but bitcoin is not the same as a fiat currency.”

Ever the crypto critic, Dimon has over the years used a myriad of epithets to convey his distaste for the subject, variously referring to it as a “fraud,” a “waste of time,” an asset that is “worth nothing,” and a “stupid” investment with “no actual value.” Unsurprisingly, he’s also a card-carrying member of the “blockchain not bitcoin” brigade.

We(bitcoin community) also do no give a fuck about what he says or spills out...

We've invested in the bitcoin with various degrees of success, we've seen the good days and the bad days already

So we can carve out our opinions from our various experiences...

He's shitty statement doesn't change what the system has/and will achieve

You read my mind. who gives a f*ck about what Jamie Dimon think about bitcoin?
We love the ideology and concept behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in general. No one cares about what you said anymore, Mr. Dimon.

Same from the Bitcoin community, we dont give as Sh*t to Jamie Dimon, his policies, his trash talk and his racist attetude toward Bitcoin or Cryptocurrencies.

I generally dont care what the likes of Dimon say about bitcoin, IMO there they go overboard
in their negativity about it that it just doesnt add up for me.

Either hes has lost a tonne of his investment or Bitcoin did something personal to him.

Anyway he did say something positive "Blockchain is real, it’s technology..." Ill take that
as positive eventhough we know its real and it is helping to shape the next industrial revolution.

No shit.  Bitcoin is not the same as fiat.  I wonder how the genius figured this out?

"However, as CCN has reported, JPMorgan has, despite Dimon’s hostile public stance, quietly begun “looking into” cryptocurrency, going so far as to acknowledge in published reports that the asset class is unlikely to disappear and could disrupt the banking industry."
In that same article, this statement popped up. So you see, everyone is entitled to his decisions and we as well as many others do believe in Satoshis vision. Ten years now and we are still around.

so many talk about social faces opinions. but all that should matter to a bitcoiner is code

It's obvious that he views bitcoin as a threat to banks.

Do people still take comments from this guy seriously?? He doesn't give a shit about $Bitcoin because he has lost and old age is phasing them out of the new world! He won't give a shit about $Bitcoin but he is seriously endorsing ETH! Quite funny, He is only secretly crying for losing out on the whole $Bitcoin history and story! He was pissed when $Bitcoin gained substantially because he got jealous of those who saw that tech coming from day one! Do we care if he gives a shit about $Bitcoin or not?? Whether he accepts it or not, the future is here and it is $Bitcoin.

such people should be because they can not all unanimously say that Bitcoin is good

Yes Bitcoin is not the same as fiat currency, with Bitcoin, people no longer use Bank services to store funds and they can send funds abroad without bank services, Bitcoin can't provide big benefits for your business like fiat currencies, therefore, you always hate it

Well I think that he's got a point in this statement and regarding if he really hates bitcoin that is his own opinion, We have different kinds of opinion regarding the matter.

But I had a doubt if his statement is sincere I really seen this one statement that he really love the way blockchain does things and we can probably say that bitcoin is not really like fiat currency because the two cannot be lump with each other, Although I have a conclusion that he is really earning bitcoin and that he really has the privilege of using blockchain technology, And all his statement regarding that he hates bitcoin has just acted and not really legit to brought drama in the situation and bring fear to the community so he can definitely buy cheap.

So do we, Jamie. We also don't give a shit about your opinion. This is not 2014-2015 wherein a single statement from a relatively known persona in the financial space could move the markets hard. Also, the banker doesn't know that without bitcoin, the idea of the blockchain wouldn't even spring to mind. If he doesn't really care about bitcoin, or care about anything relating to it, why admit that blockchain is technology? He is one of the finest hypocrites living in this planet today.

Jamie isn't the head at JP for nothing. The dude is very smart. His financial business acumen is on par with Buffet. All the shit that he spews out of his mouth is said for a reason. Check the $BTC oderbooks anytime he talks.

He's right. Bitcoin is not the same as fiat currency. It is much better!
Jamie doesn't give a shit? Then why did he say that he'll fire his employees if he sees them trading Bitcoin? Later his bank was caught buying and his daughter is supposedly holding Bitcoins. A lot of coincidences for someone who doesn't give a shit.

Well sure he doesn't give a $hit about bitcoin. Banks put pressure on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, accusing their users of money laundering and thinking that cryptos are unacceptable since it's hard to prevent fraudulent activities with them. But they should really shut up after this scandal with $234 billion money laundering scheme in which several banks were involved (JP Morgan is one of them!). The current total market cap is smaller than the amount of money JP Morgan, Danske Bank Estonia and others are accused of laundering! After such a scandal, it's completely unfair to accuse cryptos of anything.

OMG
random person who doesnt use bitcoin is asked about bitcoin and the forum members suddenly get emotional

.....
imagine the euro.
OMG
random person who doesnt use euro is asked about euro and the euro forum members suddenly get emotional

reality check of what should happen
as a brit i use the pound i dont care about the euro.. .....
euro forums....... 'oh well'

my point
find a subject. find a person that doesnt use that subject. ask him about a subject. and they are by default going to say they dont give a crap
so just dont get emotional about it. find something that actually matters to talk about

I'd care less about Jamie Dimon's opinions which also goes for any other known personalities. They don't control the way I think because I don't get influenced by them. This is where many crypto enthusiasts make a mistake. They take whatever ideology these well known people into account. They get affected so easily. We should have our own stand.

This guy is a fraud. He crashed the price of Bitcoin twice, so that his daughter could buy them at cheap rates. If he doesn't care about Bitcoin, then he shouldn't have spoken about it. He should be investigated for fraud and insider trading.

it is always funny to see people who can't stop talking about bitcoin say they don't care about it :D


what else did you expect? it is a bank and banks always want to have control so that they can continue their corrupted empire. and with bitcoin they will not be able to do that but if they stick to the technology and adopt it for themselves they can get the hype of the technology while maintaining control.

Lol he's probably tired of being asked about it. He's even being asked about doing a 180 or whatever. I'd be just as blunt if I were him. It's true that he's being painted as a crypto antagonist, too, which he might actually deserve, but I get his frustration.

But yeah his opinion stopped mattering after the market stopped caring. Seems like people won't stop until he acknowledges Bitcoin, which baffles me, but that's not going to happen until Bitcoin is actually too big to ignore for their finances.

He lives in a democratic country and so he will say whatever he wants and it's up to us whether we give a damn care to it.
What he just said is just a contrary on what he just thinking, oh and don't forget he talks while shitting that's why he's a talk shit.
Ooopppsss.  ::)

The good news is we don't give a sh*t about Dimon too and what he said is not important.& Calling Bitcoin a fraud while the bank has been accused of fraud, better to watch your face Dimon, Sandy Weill can't help you.
Without Bitcoin, the blockchain might not have existed.

Sometimes when you read posts like this on the forum it just confirms that there is much more education to be done for people to appreciate  bitcoin and not just blockchain technology. Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that is definitely making blockchain technology popular in the world hence this digital currency needs to be treated with the necessary respect.

who is jamie dimon the heck is actually? I have never even heard of his name, so why should we as a crypto and bitcoin community care about the statements he says? even though he is the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, his statement will not represent the overall condition of bitcoin. he is just a hypocrite who is late and too lazy to benefit from bitcoin.

Hey while I understand he's not a big name in the crypto circle, but Jp Morgan is a brand for investors and public money. I feel he's contradicting himself and his company as they accepted that bitcoins is a currency, and even made their clients buy it. What I suspect is his timing to make such a statement, bitcoins prices are already dropping, so I feel he's causing more damage this is inspite of him being warned not to speak on bitcoins.

I think this is not the worst comment. He said that blockchain is real yes? So we need bitcoin or coin to use in blockchain system. I think it is better than saying "the bitcoin is bubble". And also the bitcoin is not the same as a fiat currency, and i also believe that is true too. The bitcoin totally different than the fiat money.

someone who is scared of bitcoin and believes that bitcoin's adoption is a direct threat to his bank and wants to postpone their inevitable doom as much as possible by delaying bitcoin's adoption when he spreads FUD about it while pretending he doesn't care...

What is the same thing about bitcoin and fiat ? Both are currency, yes they are both currency, but different each other.
When you want to send millions dollars of money to the others, you must follow the regulation of bank system.
Different with bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, you have no limit to use, send, receive or pay something with it and no need complicated procedure to accomplish.

If he really never give a shit about bitcoin, he should not regret to having it.

You can consider Dimon as an "old school" who doesn't believe in new techs immediately.
Same as Warren Buffet, it took him a while before he bought tech stocks like IBM and Apple.

the most important discussion is that can get us an advantage,  especially profits in the form of money,  so it is not important all that is happening in the bitcoin debate, the most important potential is whether or not there is profit, that's all,  no need to question public opinion.

Jamie Dimon always different between what he said and what he did. He just want make FUD and make market panic with his statement. Better never listen what he said and believe on bitcoin will recover again. He just want to buy bitcoin with cheap price

To me this kind of sounds like a backtracking. He first apologized for his statements about bitcoin in January:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/09/jamie-dimon-says-he-regrets-calling-bitcoin-a-fraud.html

We have to remember this is the same idiot that said this about bitcoin in October 2017:

"If you're stupid enough to buy it, you'll pay the price for it one day."

Like duh, you're always "paying the price" for it, its never free. On top of that, the timing of his comment was woeful.

This is also the same bozo that helped bring us the great recession and one of the bankers that absolutely should have been jailed for his role in furthering the collapse of the stock market. If I'm not mistaken he is stepping down from his position of CEO at Goldman Sachs by the end of this year. At least that's what he said he would do earlier in the year.


People care because the idiots that comprise Wall Street are glued to his every word as if he were Moses or something. Needless to say, if he mutters the words "buy bitcoin," a bunch of morons with money will start throwing it at bitcoin. That's why people care.
