The companyâs CEO Jamie Dimon has emerged as a prominent critic of Bitcoin, calling the major cryptocurrency a âfraudâ and a âscamâ back in 2017.
Dimon has not changed his negative stance on BTC despite the growing bull run and major companies like PayPal moving into Bitcoin. At The New York Times DealBook Online Summit on Nov. 18, Dimon compared the seminal cryptocurrency to proprietary blockchain networks with regulatory controls, stating, âBitcoin is kind of different and itâs not my cup of tea.âÂ
Despite its CEOâs skepticism of Bitcoin, in October 2020, JPMorgan reportedly told investors that âthe potential long-term upside for Bitcoin is considerable,â suggesting that BTC price would be doubling or tripling in the long term.
