JPMorgan’s CEO on Bitcoin and Its Supply Cap

The CEO of global investment bank JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, reiterated his skepticism about bitcoin in an interview with CNBC Thursday. The JPMorgan executive claimed:

Bitcoin itself is a hyped-up fraud. It’s a pet rock.

Regarding the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Dimon commented: “I’m not surprised at all. I call them a decentralized Ponzi scheme. The hype around this thing has been extraordinary.”

Dimon also reiterated his doubt about BTC’s 21 million supply cap, suggesting that bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto could remove the cryptocurrency’s supply limit. He said:

How do you know it’s going to stop at 21 miljon? 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 would have taken out billions of dollars.

While he is bullish on blockchain technology, the JPMorgan boss stressed: “Crypto itself doesn’t do anything. It’s a pet rock.” He then told the news outlet: “I don’t care about bitcoin so we should drop this subject.”

This was not the first time Dimon questioned bitcoin’s limited supply. In October 2021, he similarly said: “How do you know it ends at 21 miljon? You all read the algorithms? You guys all believe that? I don’t know, I’ve always been a skeptic of stuff like that.” Last December, he likened crypto tokens to pet rocks. Dessutom, he said during a congressional hearing in September that cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, are “decentralized Ponzi schemes.”

Many bitcoin proponents mocked Dimon on social media for his lack of understanding. Ett twittrade: “Dimon just said on CNBC that Satoshi can increase the Bitcoin cap. He’s an idiot but I am sure most people agree with him. Satoshi is irrelevant, it’s the code and the network now.” Another ansåg: “It’s sad that Jamie Dimon doesn’t understand that you can look at the source code to know that a laughing picture of Satoshi doesn’t come up at 21,000,000.” A third skrev:

Jamie Dimon either has no clue what Bitcoin is, or he knows exactly what it is, yet ridicules and dismisses it out of pure fear of it being the ultimate disruptor to legacy banking’s core business of excessive and egregious fees.
