Bitcoin Is A Fraud That Will Blow Up – JPMorgan Chase CEO

Published

8 years ago

on

The CEO of JPMorgan Chase and Co., Jamie Dimon speaking against the steadily growing cryptocurrency, Bitcoin said, “Bitcoin is a fraud that will ultimately blow up.” He added the digital currency was only fit to be used by drug dealers, murderers and people living in places such as North Korea.

In the past couple of years, the digital currency has gained a lot of traction with a five fold increase in its price since the start of 2017. Bitcoin hit a record high price, close to $ 5000 at the start of the month and has been growing steadily ever since. First created in 2009, cryptocurrency can be defined as a form of digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank. But, according to Dimon, the currency will not work because people can’t invent a currency out of thin air and think that people who are buying it are smart. The CEO also threatened to fire any of his traders found to be trading in the digital cash. The banker also revealed his daughter had bought Bitcoins which saw a rise in value.

At a New York investor conference, Dimon argued that even if there was a market for Bitcoins, which emerged in the aftermath of the financial crisis, it would be a limited market which included drug dealers, murderers and people from places like Venezuela or Ecuador or North Korea. The digital currency allows people to bypass banks and traditional payment processes to pay for goods and services but has also been associated with money laundering and online crime. The value of Bitcoin, which quadrupled since December, fell by 5% after Dimon’s remarks.

So far, China and UK have criticized Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. The Chinese government has banned the issuance of new digital coins for fundraising purposes such as Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) and reports suggest the Chinese authorities might ban the domestic exchange of bitcoins as well. Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority, on the other hand, issued an official warning on ICOs asking investors to be aware of the risks involved and be prepared to lose their entire stake.

Market analysts agree Bitcoin has been on an incredible run and many on Wall Street have also started to embrace cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has soared 315% this year and is expected to surge up to $6 000 by next year. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency which was created by Craig Steven Wright from Australia. Ethereum, Ripple and Litcoin are some of the other most common cryptocurrencies available in the markets today.

Sarvam

Sarvam AI, the Bengaluru-based GenAI startup selected by the Indian government to develop the country’s first sovereign large language model (LLM), has launched Bulbul V2-a speech AI model supporting 11 Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and Odia.


Bulbul V2 stands out for its natural, regionally authentic accents, delivering speech that sounds genuinely Indian rather than robotic or rehearsed. The model offers ultra-fast performance with a P90 latency of just 0.398 seconds, significantly faster than global competitors like ElevenLabs, and is priced at ₹15 per 10,000 characters-five times cheaper than leading alternatives. Brands can also customize voices to create unique audio identities.

This launch reinforces Sarvam’s mission to make AI accessible and inclusive for India’s diverse population. Alongside Bulbul V2, Sarvam is building India’s first sovereign LLM under the IndiaAI Mission, focusing on secure, scalable, and multilingual AI solutions developed entirely within the country using local talent and infrastructure

Info Edge, the parent of Naukri.com, has achieved a 36% gross internal rate of return (IRR) on its startup investments since 2007, turning a total investment of INR 3,959 crore across 111 startups into a portfolio now valued at INR 36,855 crore-a nearly 9X gain. Early bets on Zomato and Policybazaar have been especially lucrative, with holdings in these two companies alone worth INR 31,500 crore as of March 2025.

The company’s investment strategy spans multiple vehicles, including the SEBI-registered Info Edge Venture Fund (IEVF), Info Edge Capital, and Capital 2B, with a combined fund corpus of INR 3,423 crore and Info Edge committing INR 1,614 crore. Early-stage investments now contribute 30-40% of the company’s overall value.

Info Edge’s Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) investments have yielded an IRR of 18.7%. Many portfolio companies, such as TrueMeds, Geniemode, Attentive.ai, and InPrime, have attracted follow-on funding from major investors like Accel, Peak XV Partners, and Tiger Global. Notably, BlueStone, the largest investment of Info Edge Capital, has filed for an IPO after securing investments from Prosus, Peak XV, and Steadview Capital.

Founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani emphasized the company’s focus on strong governance and financial controls, with a preference for value realization through public listings or strategic exits.

Phab Raises $2M Seed Funding to Expand Healthy Snacking Brand

PHAB

Phab, the D2C healthy snacking brand co-founded by Ankit Chona of ice cream brand Hocco and his wife Gayatri Chona, has raised $2 million (around ₹17 crore) in a seed funding round led by OTP Ventures, with participation from Capri Global, Sim&San law firm, and angel investors.

Founded in 2018, phab offers protein bars and healthy milkshakes, leveraging Ankit’s decade-long food industry experience and Gayatri’s expertise as a certified nutritionist. The brand has sold over 2 million units and sells through e-commerce and quick commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Zepto, and Blinkit.

Despite a 12% dip in operating revenue to ₹5 crore in FY24, phab trimmed its net loss by nearly 3% to ₹6.8 crore, showing improved efficiency.

The new funds will be used to expand the team, invest in production capacity, and grow phab’s presence across digital, quick commerce, and offline channels. The brand competes with Yoga Bar, Beyond Snack, and The Whole Truth in India’s growing $68 billion healthy snacking market. OTP Ventures’ founding partner Suhail Sameer praised phab’s bold, differentiated approach and the founders’ vision, signaling strong investor confidence in the brand’s growth potential.
