摩根大通執行長仍稱比特幣為“欺詐”

在比特幣減半倒數之際，摩根大通執行長傑米戴蒙重申了他對比特幣的懷疑態度，稱其為「欺詐」和「去中心化的龐氏騙局」。在承認區塊鏈和智能合約的潛在價值的同時，戴蒙堅持認為比特幣的主要用例在於非法活動。儘管受到批評，摩根大通透過機構合作夥伴關係參與比特幣 ETF 仍然與戴蒙的個人立場明顯矛盾。

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon: Bitcoin Remains a 'Fraud', Blockchain and Smart Contracts Have Value

摩根大通執行長傑米戴蒙：比特幣仍然是“欺詐”，區塊鏈和智能合約有價值

In an extensive interview with Bloomberg on Wednesday, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon maintained his longstanding stance on Bitcoin, characterizing it as a "fraud."

在周三接受彭博社採訪時，摩根大通執行長傑米·戴蒙（Jamie Dimon）維持了他對比特幣的長期立場，將其描述為「欺詐」。

"If you mean crypto like Bitcoin, I've always said it's a fraud," Dimon asserted to Bloomberg's Emily Chang, further stating that he holds no hope for its viability as a currency.

「如果你指的是像比特幣這樣的加密貨幣，我總是說它是一種欺詐，」戴蒙對彭博社的艾米麗·張(Emily Chang) 斷言，並進一步表示，他對其作為貨幣的可行性不抱任何希望。

Extending his criticism, Dimon labeled Bitcoin a "public decentralized Ponzi scheme." However, he acknowledged the potential value of blockchain technology and smart contracts.

戴蒙擴展了他的批評，將比特幣稱為「公共去中心化的龐氏騙局」。不過，他承認區塊鏈技術和智能合約的潛在價值。

"If it's a crypto coin that can do something like a smart contract that has value, there will be smart contracts and blockchain works," Dimon said. "To the extent crypto is accessing certain blockchain things, that might have some value."

「如果這是一種加密貨幣，可以做一些有價值的智能合約之類的事情，那麼就會有智能合約和區塊鏈的作品，」戴蒙說。 “就加密貨幣正在訪問某些區塊鏈事物而言，這可能具有一定的價值。”

Dimon's comments sparked a reaction on Crypto Twitter, with users mocking the CEO's views.

戴蒙的言論在 Crypto Twitter 上引發了反響，用戶嘲笑了執行長的觀點。

"Buddy is fudding our bags for a better entry," posted Wallstreetbets on Twitter.

Wallstreetbets 在推特上寫道：“巴迪正在把我們的行李弄亂，以便更好地入場。”

Another Twitter user, Trader Joe, shared a meme depicting Dimon as the character Morpheus from "The Matrix," suggesting that his comments were a signal to buy more Bitcoin.

另一位 Twitter 用戶 Trader Joe 分享了一個表情包，將戴蒙描繪成《駭客任務》中的角色莫菲斯，暗示他的評論是購買更多比特幣的訊號。

"The Matrix likes to send signals to buy more Bitcoin," tweeted Bitcoin Munger. "This is one of those signals."

比特幣芒格在推特上寫道：“矩陣喜歡發出購買更多比特幣的信號。” “這是這些信號之一。”

Despite recognizing the potential value of blockchain applications, Dimon has consistently criticized Bitcoin, claiming that its primary use cases revolve around illicit activities such as "sex trafficking, tax avoidance, anti-money laundering, [and] terrorism financing." He has advocated for the shutdown of Bitcoin if these "bad use cases" cannot be addressed, a challenging proposition given the widespread network of Bitcoin nodes.

儘管認識到區塊鏈應用的潛在價值，戴蒙一直批評比特幣，聲稱其主要用例圍繞著「性交易、避稅、反洗錢和恐怖主義融資」等非法活動。他主張，如果這些「不良用例」無法解決，就關閉比特幣，考慮到比特幣節點網路的廣泛分佈，這是一個具有挑戰性的主張。

Dimon's sustained criticism of Bitcoin contrasts with JP Morgan's investment actions. The firm serves as an "authorized participant" in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from BlackRock, Invesco/Galaxy Digital, and Fidelity, which were approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year.

戴蒙對比特幣的持續批評與摩根大通的投資行動形成鮮明對比。該公司是貝萊德、景順/銀河數字和富達的現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）的“授權參與者”，這些基金於今年早些時候獲得了美國證券交易委員會的批准。

In a December report, a JP Morgan analyst expressed skepticism about the long-term impact of Bitcoin ETFs on the market, suggesting that Ethereum is positioned to surpass Bitcoin's performance in 2024.

在 12 月的一份報告中，摩根大通分析師對比特幣 ETF 對市場的長期影響表示懷疑，暗示以太坊預計在 2024 年超越比特幣的表現。
