Bitcoin Q&A: My Response to Jamie Dimon
Channel: aantonop
Date: 2017-11-16

My response to Jamie Dimon's criticism of Bitcoin as a "fraud." Jamie doth protest too much methinks, because JPMorgan Chase was fined for mortgage fraud. 

The world's banks have never faced competition from the internet; the internet is now coming for banking. Industry leaders are going through the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

1:00 It's interesting that the head of the largest investment bank in the world finds time to criticize bitcoin
