So what he means here is that he still don't think you should engage in Bitcoin but he supports people's rights to do so. That's a typical business man quotes.
But really we don't need him to defend our rights in any way infact banks getting involved in crypto-currency may leave a dent in the anonymity, privacy and decentralized nature of Crypto-currency.
And even if that was the only way to buy Bitcoin I won't definitely patronize JP Morgan because chances of things going wrong a high because their CEO still has resentment against Bitcoin. Everyone has to be careful out there.

I was just wondering how they will allow you to buy it but not custody it. If you don't reason critically, you will think it's a good development because of the Not you key not your coin mentra. But in a real sense, they just want to be a bridge for their customers, and charging transaction fees without doing anything at all.

Meanwhile, about criticising bitcoin in the past. I am not surprised and it's not a sin. Almost everyone that spoke against bitcoin will surely do a U-turn. I don't blame them because that's how it used to be for every given new technology.
The instance of smoke and our right to it is just a jab to cover up.

Don't feel grief with him, there's always s time every wrong directions will be redirected as long there's time. He isn't the first and not the last of such utterance to bitcoin. Just accept his recent decision to be a welcomed news for the bitcoin communities in the sense that the industry is gradually dominating which those who fights against it today will somewhere in the future realize their misconducts towards bitcoin hence keep to posses it potentials.

As he said, his firm isn't going to align on hodling of bitcoin but users can always buy from them.
That seems for like a trade on exchange. So regardless to that, him and his management teams must have scrutinized the volatile market and had sighted they can as well earn rewards/benefits while facilitating on the bitcoin purchase therefore has to offer promoting of bitcoin awareness.
I'm to believe that in a couple of unpredictable time factors, most of these central banks would even have the bitcoin Atm installed in their respective places.

I don't really like the analogy but I think it's another step on the road to widespread acceptance of bitcoin. Even Dave Ramsey's show is starting to turn too. Who will be next? Buffet before he dies? With the US president and a pro-bitcoin cabinet, and many states with bitcoin reserves in place, some with the bill already passed, statements like this make perfect sense to me.

Even if he doesn’t like it, he has to accept it. Bitcoin is inevitable. Anyone who turns a blind eye to it runs a serious risk of having their entire wealth eroded by money printing. A banker will never admit that Bitcoin is something superior, after all, it's practically a direct competitor to the service he provides to society.

Jamie dimon is not for bitcoin is just in for business, since he have seen the massive growth of bitcoin and the massive adoption of bitcoin, he now decide to tap the glory of bitcoin  by allowing his clients to buying bitcoin from his bank, so that his business will grow well goodluck to him, but my own opinion I we suggest that everyone should buy bitcoin directly from exchange and store their bitcoin by themselves instead of buying bitcoin from unbelievers banks like the person of Jamie dimon who have called bitcoin a scam before.

It's better now than never, that's what he probably thought and surely, he will have results from it - he wouldn't do something like that if he wouldn't want to try things out with BTC (which is good, of course).

JP Dimon is famous with his sayings against Bitcoin in past years and it's surprisingly with many people by knowing that his bank silently accepted Bitcoin and provided many products related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

See what he and his bank do, don't listen to what he says.

It started 2 years ago in 2023, and did not began in 2025. Read a table at page 45 in the following report.

Jamie Dimon and JP Morgan have ridiculous history against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin 'is a fraud'
JPMorgan gives clients access to crypto funds.
Dimon’s regrets chart.

That's the most shameless turnaround I have seen in a last couple of years. Jemie was a full time Bitcoin critique and he has spoken negatively about it in multiple occasions. It's good to see that JPM is planning to allow it's customer to buy crypto. Eventually they will come into the custody business as well. It's just a matter of time!

Now only Warren Buffett is left. But looking at his age, we will ignore him and his comments on cryptos.
