Dimon bluntly stated, “I don’t care” when asked about BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s views on Bitcoin. He also criticized Bitcoin’s lack of utility compared to blockchain technology.
Finding Common Ground on Blockchain
While Dimon remains critical of Bitcoin, he showed more support for smart contract-enabled blockchains and tokenization. In contrast, Fink has been positive about both cryptocurrency and Bitcoin, comparing its trajectory to that of gold. Fink sees the potential for tokenization to become a significant aspect of the crypto space.
