President and CEO of JPMorgan Chase Co. Jamie Dimon testifies before a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill June 13, 2012 in Washington, DC.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is a vocal bitcoin skeptic.
  • Bitcoin is a "fraud," a "Ponzi scheme," and cannot serve as a currency, Jamie Dimon said.
  • The JPMorgan CEO said cryptos that enable smart contracts and blockchain apps might have value.
  • Dimon has dismissed bitcoin as a "pet rock" in the past, and slammed it for enabling criminals.

Bitcoin is a scam and fails as a currency, Jamie Dimon said.

"If you mean crypto like bitcoin, I've always said it's a fraud," the JPMorgan CEO told Bloomberg TV on Wednesday.
