Crypto Bull Tim Draper attacked JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon nearly two months after the big bank announced plans to create a digital currency known as JPM Coin.
During an interview, Draper said that Dimon's actions show that he is in the process of acceptance the inevitability of cryptocurrencies.
"This guy first says that bitcoin is a scam ... Then paranoia starts to take him down ... then lines up all the banks against the cryptos ... and says credit cards, my credit cards can not be used to buy bitcoin and then he decides to create his own digital currency ... It is funny, it is typical ... as if watching the 7 stages of ... first goes through the denial phase ... and then they reach acceptance.
JPM Coin was announced in mid-February in order to allow for an inter-institutional transfer of payments.
Draper, however, does not believe JPM coin to be as successful as bitcoin. According to him, the reason is that JPM Coin is "tied to a bank, and people prefer not to use the banks."
The bitcoin bull was less critical when assessing Facebook's coin. According to him, Facebook enjoys a huge database - something that offers an advantage for the cryptocurrency as far as "distribution" is concerned.
Still, for Draper, "Facebook is too late", as their crypto will go a long way behind the others that are being developed and improved for years.
In the same interview, Draper kept his screaming forecast, expecting the biggest crypto to hit $ 250,000 by 2022. The main reason for this will be the broad adoption of people, which is due to the many improvements and developments on digital asset classes.
For bitcoin, reaching $ 250,000 by 2022 means it will have to rise by 4,900%. Currently, the crypto is trading around $ 5,200.
