Isikhulu se-JPMorgan Chase u-Jamie Dimon uhlasele i-Bitcoin namanye ama-cryptocurrencies ngoLwesithathu, ephakamisa ukuthi awusizo kuphela ezigebengwini futhi angase avinjelwe.

"Ukube benginguhulumeni, bengizoyivala," kusho uDimon ngemboni ye-crypto ngesikhathi ephawula eCapitol Hill ngoLwesithathu.

Bitcoin, Amabhange, kanye Nobugebengu

UDimon ubengomunye wezikhulu ezimbalwa zamabhange amakhulu ayisishiyagalombili amakhulu ase-US ukuthi afakaze phambi kweKomidi Lamabhange LeSigele ngoLwesithathu esigcawini esimayelana nokwengamela kwaminyaka yonke kwamafemu aseWall Street.

His comments were in response to questioning from senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a notorious congressional i-crypto skeptic, who asked why crypto has become “such an attractive financial tool for terrorists, drug traffickers, and rogue nations.”

"Bengilokhu ngiphikisana kakhulu ne-crypto, i-Bitcoin, njll," kuphendula u-Dimon. “Okuwukuphela kwecala eliyiqiniso elisetshenziswa kulo [le] izigebengu - abashushumbisi bezidakamizwa, abamelene nokushushumbisa imali, ukugwema intela… futhi lokho kuyicala lokusebenzisa.”

I-CEO yathi i-crypto ilusizo kulezi zinhloso njengoba "ingaziwa ngandlela thize," inikeza ukuthengiselana ngokushesha, futhi yeqa yonke imikhawulo yezikhungo zamabhange ezilawulwa uhulumeni, ezingaphansi kokulwa nokubiwa kwemali (AML), yazi. -ikhasimende lakho (i-KYC), kanye nemithetho yezinhlawulo.

USenator uWarren walandela ngesicelo sokuthi iCongress ibuyekeze imithetho yasebhange ekhona ukuze isebenze emithethweni emelene nokushushumbiswa kwemali ezinkampanini ze-crypto, okwavunyelwana ngayo namanye ama-CEO amaningana amabhange. Kuphawule iphuzu eliyivelakancane lobumbano phakathi kukaWarren nabaphathi, nalowo owayedume ngokomlando njengomgxeki onzima wemboni yamabhange.

I-Dimon's Distaste ye-Crypto

Dimon’s opposition to crypto is nothing new, however. Throughout the past two years, the banking CEO has told investors to “stay away from Bitcoin,” ukubiza that it has “no intrinsic value,” and is a “decentralized Ponzi scheme.”

Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, u-Dimon uthe akakholelwa ukuthi uphawu lokuthengisa lwe-Bitcoin lwezinhlamvu zemali eziyizigidi ezingu-21 empeleni lwalungokoqobo.

"Wazi kanjani ukuthi kuzoma ku-21 million?" ubuze i-CNBC phakathi nenhlolokhono kaJanuwari. "Mhlawumbe izofika ezigidini ezingama-21 futhi isithombe sikaSatoshi sizokuhleka nonke."

Naphezu kokuphikisa kwakhe, abahlaziyi be-JPMorgan bashicilela imibiko evamile mayelana nombono wemboni ye-crypto.

Back in May, a research note from the bank ukuphakanyiswa that BTC could reach $45,000 this year if it started resembling gold as an investment tool.

I-Bitcoin idubule yafinyelela ku-$44,000 kuleli sonto njengoba igolide likhuphuka lafinyelela inani eliphakeme kunawo wonke lama-$2,140 iwunsi ngayinye.
