What surprise me more is the people who actually took his words seriously and started selling in the first place. He is a banker, Bitcoin is a threat for him. He will definitely won't be the last CEO of a large bank saying that. He don't want to say anything anymore for the simple reason that bitcoin skyrocketed so It kinda proves him wrong and I could be wrong (and I hope I'am) but his last statements about someone getting killed makes me think that we will indeed see some people dead, most likely some Darknet Hitman stuff where bitcoin is used just so they make people think that bitcoin is an actual threat so they set regulations/ban.

He is outclassed talking about Bitcoin.

Well I guess he won't talk about btc anymore since his plan have succeeded. I really do believe that he just said those outrageous remarks about btc to cause more dips and then buy a bunch of coins. Or maybe he did it for his daughter who owns btc for her to acquire more during the dips. And seeing that we're currently at around 5.3K they got a great profit already so he decided it's time to shut up, lol!

a lot of people dont care what he says especially on BCT!
he nor anyone can damage bitcoin with words.

im not so sure though that Bitcoin would be accepted widely
across the world, it will be tolerated for sure but there will be
other government controlled blockchain currencies.

 



I doubt very much, he is the 60s and many old people of that time are supporters of gold, if you told me that he invests in gold would not be a surprise, but he invest in bitcoin is something unthinkable

Why the hell in the last few weeks are people so worried about his opinion? It's not like he's a prophet, so why are so worried about what he thinks?

The first sensible decision he has taken for a long time relating to Bitcoin. When you have foot-in-mouth disease, you should refrain from opening your mouth any wider. Given Bitcoin's stellar ride, it was inevitable that he would be asked about Bitcoin.

He would not be in the top of the news all month if JP Morgan would not become one of the biggest investors in Bitcoin just two days after Diamon's words about Bitcoin and it's "fraud" nature.
I think he just got tired of all this critic in his address. he may stay with his opinion about Bitcoin, but he decided to shut up for better.

Next time, share a source, so we know it's not just fake news or speculation: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/12/jamie-dimon-says-hes-not-going-to-talk-about-bitcoin-anymore.html

Algorithmic liquidity provider Blockswater filed a complaint with the Swedish authorities against Jamie Dimon last month after he made the "fraud" comments. I wonder if that had anything to do with this. I bet his lawyers probably told him to shut up to prevent any bad PR or legal problems for JP Morgan. He should have known better, in any case.

Looks like Jamie and Bitcoin are inseparable. People just can't stop asking Jamie about Bitcoin, and he just can't stop ranting about it. He broke his silence after just one day.
