Just compare both videos of Jamie Dimon (once again) dismissing Bitcoin, clearly not understanding the notion of digital scarcity value and that of Steve Balmer infamously dismissing the iPhone at launch. There are so similar in attitude, the mockery, the dwarfing, the condescending attitude in front of something disruptive. The “We do it already, and better and bigger and all…”
