| See this article in TNW from March 3rd, Why Bitcoin is changing how banks do business
Here's the opening 3 paragraphs: Last weekend JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest bank in the United States, published a job opportunity for an associate at its New York branch. One of the requirements was an, “opinion on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.” The bank has since deleted the remark, but the Wall Street Journal managed to write about it before JPMorgan could delete it. The cover-up marks a radical change in how banks now see the enfant terrible of currencies. JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon dismissed Bitcoin as a, “terrible store of value. It could be replicated over and over. It doesn’t have the standing of a government. […] And honestly, a lot of it?—?what I’ve read from you guys?—?a lot of it is being used for illicit purposes.” Through the Trough of Disillusionment: from evil to good But Dimon was not alone in his crusade against Bitcoin. Other giants from the financial world shared his opinion. Alan Greenspan, the former president of the Federal Reserve, was baffled by the digital currency: “You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is. I haven’t been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can.” |
