" any one else a have a differing opinion on this?"
No
I have no idea who the man sitting next to Mr. Dimon is nor do I have any interest in knowing who he is. I'm sure he is very important because I have seen him on TV from time to time. It's very easy to ask a rhetorical question in a room full of sycophantic media lap dogs but I can assure you that I disagree with him completely.
Jammie Dimon and his business model are going the way of the Do Do bird and all the foot stomping and temper tantrums will do nothing to change it. Following Mr. Dimon's twisted logic the Department of Justice " who only needs to make one phone call to end Bitcoin " has through the United States Marshall Service just auctioned off over 44.000 Bitcoins. Thinking this through to it's logical conclusion the Justice Department would have to issue arrest warrants against the US Marshall Service, a ridiculous proposition on its face.
Jammie Dimon is frightened and rightfully so. Among the many positive advances Bitcoin has made over the past 6 years that are too numerous to list, one that comes to the top of mind is the fact that Europe has just recognized it as a currency and will treat it as such.
This is what is known about Bitcoin right now IN FACT!
Now we can address what is unknown about the protocol Bitcoin, powering the internet of things in the future ( taking the red pill ). Claiming to understand Bitcoins potential would be like foretelling all the innovation that has transpired with the internet since the work of Tim Berners -Lee or the genius of Marc Andreessen's Mosaic. While many imagined big things I think to a man none had invisioned the internet as the wonder that exists now before us. We are entering a new frontier where machines will conduct commerce with other machines without the direct intervention of human activity for better or worse, I'm not sure which but it is certainly going to be different.
Men like Jamie Dimon who have controlled the financial system since 1913 are going to have to adapt to this new reality or become irrelevant. I was hoping that Mr. Dimon was among the 11 registered bidders at the US Marshall's auction earlier this week, if not he will have to purchase or provide services for Bitcoin like everybody else. This is not going to end well for people who blindly hold on to obsolete paradigms while ignoring the cyclonic innovation that is about to lay waste to their current business model.
One more unknown that I have heard bandied about is that research indicates Bitcoin will be the 6th largest reserve currency by the year 2030. Since Mr. Dimon was expressing his opinion about Bitcoin I will express an opinion of my own. Bitcoin with be the #1 reserve currency by the year 2025.
So yes Mr. Dimon and friend, I differ with your view with every fiber of my being. All one has to do is open eyes and mind to see what is before you.
