The use cases for Bitcoin are “AML, fraud, sex trafficking and tax avoidance,” said Dimon, holding court Wednesday on CNBC from Davos.


"I defend your right to do Bitcoin," continued Dimon, who one month ago in Congressional testimony urged Senator Elizabeth Warren to close it down. "I don't want to tell you what to do," added Dimon this morning.

"My personal advice is don't get involved."


He also said the cryptocurrency is like a “pet rock” that “does nothing." Dimon appeared to be constructive on cryptos outside of Bitcoin, noting there are many folks who can “do something with" such as tokenization of real-world assets.
