'Wolf of Wall Street' Jordan Belfort: Jamie Dimon is Right About Bitcoin

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Jordan Belford, known from famous movie Wolf of Wall Street, acknowledges Jamie Dimon statement on Bitcoin that "Bitcoin is a fraud", in an interview with TheStreet.

He also says that he don't think that Bitcoin is a great model! He believes for a cryptocurrency to be successful, there should be a central government backing it.

He continues:

    "The biggest problem I see with Bitcoin they can steal it from you, they can hack into your phone...I know people who lost of their money like that"

Based on the comments in this interview I can tell that even though he has some basic knowledge on the subject, but he doesn't seem to have in-depth understanding of cryptocurrencies.

Not really true. All you have to do is use your current influence and power of establishment and develop a new coin of your own then promote it.
