As Bitcoin climbed back near its all-time highs this past week, Dimon tweeted out fresh reason to doubt it, include this one:
“I’ll just challenge the group to one other thing: how do you know it ends at 21 million? You all read the algorithms? You guys all believe that? I don’t know, I’ve always been a skeptic of stuff like that.”
Reactions were swift. One commenter pointed out, “Bruh it’s like 5 lines of code,” and posted an accompanying screenshot of the relevant bitcoin code determining the limits of bitcoin that can be minted:

Big Banks make More on Volatility then Stability. They will always use their tools like media outlets to create swings one way or another. Leverage trading has been part of traditional markets since before bitcoin’s birth!
