The JPMorgan CEO, Jamie Dimon, says that the United States should prepare for war, not a future driven by Bitcoin.
Speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California on Friday, says Thatlet, Dimon dismissed the recent government movements to strengthen a national reserve of digital assets, arguing that the real world’s defense logistics, not Blockchain’s assets, should have priority.
“We shouldn’t store bitcoins,” Dimon said. “We know what we need. It’s not a mystery.” He asked for the prioritization of “Weapons, bullets, tanks, airplanes, drones and rare earths.”
Earlier this year, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, requested the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve and a reserve of digital assets. Dimon is not convinced of that.
“If there is a war in the South China Sea, we have missiles for seven days,” he warned. “That is not something we should say with a serious face.”
Dimon, a well -known cryptographic critic, revealed earlier this month that JPMorgan will soon allow customers to buy Bitcoin.
