In the last 10 days the Bitcoin has fallen, last September 2 this virtual currency surpassed the record when reaching the $ 5,000 unit, however, the day today its price is about 3,800 dollars unit.
As I wrote a few days ago, the main reason for this decline was that China, one of its most important markets, banned the use of this cryptocurrency as a threat to its economy.
This has caused that to date many consider that to invest in Bitcoin is something risky since apparently its future begins to be very confused, still more after some important personages are raised against the virtual currency for its own benefit .
Such is the case of Jamie Dimon, CEO of the most active bank of the United States, JPMorgan, which said that "the cryptocurrency are a fraud and will not end well."
He also said "the future of the cryptocurrency will not last long since it is difficult for countries to regulate", to support this he mentioned the example of China.
This banker pointed out that "if you were in Venezuela, Ecuador or North Korea or a lot of places like that, or if you were a drug dealer, a murderer, things like that, you better do it in bitcoin than US dollars So there may be a market for that, but it would be a limited market. "
Dimon's statements do not end there, as the bank's chief executive said they will fire any employee who deals with bitcoin for being "stupid."
Many consider Dimon to be an advantage, when attacking the Bitcoin in these moments where he is in free fall, it is for them that they quickly began the reactions against his words:
CIO and co-founder of HonTe Investment, an investment firm focused on global macro trading, Alex Gurevich, who is also a financial advisor to Yahoo !, asked Dimon to "shut up."
Previously, in 2015, Dimon rose against Bitcoin saying that "it would not serve" and some reactions like the following banner gave to show its mistake.
After those statements, where the price was about $ 500 a unit, Bitcoin fell by 8% since it is one of the most influential people in the world in finance, however, after this fall began to grow exponentially something that many they expect it to happen again.
Many assume that the main reason why Dimon and other major bankers are against Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency in general is because they see them as a threat to the current banking system, which is a risk for this.
Apparently great bankers and businessmen do not agree as far as this cryptocurrency , remember that important people like Bill Gates, the richest man in the world said "Bitcoin is the future, it is a technological marvel", also Dee Hock, founder of VISA, said "Bitcoin is not only the future but also the future of governance".
In the coming hours expect statements from important figures in the world of finance against or in favor of Dimon's statements.
