I am dismissive of the creation of a narrative between Jamie Dimon comments on Bitcoin and the launch of the JPM Coin as if it’s something that doesn’t make sense. I might be naïve, but I take Jamie Dimon comments on Bitcoin at face-value: I believe that he thinks like that about Bitcoin, and that he isn’t playing a metagame here.

I agreed with Roubini in the sense that to my understanding, linking Jamie Dimon comments on Bitcoin and the launch of the JPM Coin is comparing apples and oranges (both projects are crypto, like those two are fruits, but they have not much in common besides that). I should have been more precise.

I mostly agree with you otherwise on your thoughts about JP Morgan and Jamie Dimon. It’s just that subset of the discussion with the link between Jamie Dimon comments on Bitcoin and the launch of the JPM coin that doesn’t resonate with me. It’s a catchy title and everything, but I still believe that him having that opinion about Bitcoin and JP Morgan launching the coin doesn’t contradict itself.
