Dimon is the best PR that cryptocurrencies can get. I hope he revisits the topic many times in the future.

Hahaha. Right. Negative or Positive is still publicity to bitcoin. And every time Jamie Dimon opens his mouth, the more people are curious as to what he is talking about. "Curiosity killed the cat". I even message a friend in facebook who I haven't spoke for a long time and I said that I'm earning bitcoin. To my surprise she know's what it is because of WannaCry and Dimon's statement. I guess by now bitcoin is really gaining popularity. But it doesn't mean they are into bitcoin though.

They will replay these comments again and again as Bitcoin crosses 5 digits and banks are forced to take notice. A lot of people will be cursing themselves then for getting swayed by Jamie's comments.

Yes, they will regret their decisions later. Specially those employees who already known bitcoin eversince. But if I'm an employee of Dimon, I will still go and buy me some bitcoin. He has no right to stop me. And how can he find that anyone of his employees are into bitcoin though. So I hope next time he opens his mouth again, people should not listen to him and he become irrelevant as time goes by.

There was something deeply ironic about Jamie Dimon calling bitcoin a fraud, and then doubling down to say governments would eventually ban cryptocurrencies outright. First were the reports of J.P. Morgan, the venerable Wall Street bank Mr. Dimon helms, moving shares of Bitcoin XBT immediately after he made his initial comments Sept. 12.

J.P. Morgan representatives made clear in the aftermath that the bank was only trading on behalf of its customers, who were placing orders for Bitcoin XBT through its system. They were presumably doing so to take advantage of the dip in bitcoin valuations Mr. Dimon’s comments caused. But aside from the apparent hypocrisy between Mr. Dimon’s comments and his firm’s actions—not to mention his threat to fire any employee who trades bitcoin—there’s a deeper point that was missed. Namely, Dimon has failed to hear—or is simply ignoring—what his own clients are trying to tell him.

He also is completely out of touch with what his own firm is doing. There was more than just a little irony, bewilderment—and I would think, embarrassment—at the cryptocurrency breakfast and discussion that J.P. Morgan Private Bank hosted Sept. 12 in San Francisco for its high net worth clients.

This is man is indeed right now the epitome of what it mean to be an ironic man. Definitely, not the Iron Man but the IRONIC MAN! But he got the kind of publicity and buzz that he might be craving for and he can already be a part of the Bitcoin history belonging to the antagonists side.

Now, it is also ironic that the market seems to be willing to what the man is saying even if we know for sure that Demon is not an expert on cryptocurrency and he is representing a sector and a firm which is about to be disrupted by Bitcoin. This is akin to always be swayed to what your enemy can be saying.

Do you think that the market should continue on listening to what this man can be spewing in the public?
