Galaxy Digital CEO Disputes Jamie Dimon’s Bitcoin Critique

Mike Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital, has strongly objected to recent remarks made about bitcoin by Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan. Declaring that he would ban cryptocurrencies since they are mostly used for illegal purposes, Dimon made this declaration.

Novogratz expressed his disapproval of Dimon’s position, pointing out that Dimon has continuously been mistaken regarding bitcoin. Despite Dimon’s disapproval, Novogratz said that a number of well-known people, such as Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, Abigail Johnson, the CEO of Fidelity Investments, and investor Stanley Druckenmiller, all support bitcoin as a store of wealth.

Novogratz highlighted:

“He keeps doubling down and he keeps being wrong.”

Belief in Bitcoin’s Value

Novogratz refuted Dimon’s claims by pointing out that institutions as well as private investors are beginning to see the value of bitcoin. He pointed out that institutions and hedge funds have made substantial investments, indicating that they are aware of bitcoin’s potential as a store of value.

Expressing disbelief in Dimon’s claim of superior knowledge, Novogratz stated:

“I think it’s supreme arrogance to think he knows what has value but all the rest of the people don’t.”

Novogratz emphasized how bitcoin has beaten JPMorgan’s shares throughout a range of time periods, pointing out that it has continuously excelled. He highlighted the widespread acceptance of cryptocurrencies and the developing idea that governments everywhere are overspending, which might cause fiat currencies to lose value.

Towards the end, Novogratz quoted Blackrock CEO Larry Fink, who expects bitcoin to be a part of every investment portfolio, which added to the favorable sentiment around the coin.
