According to the Smart Finance app, as the price of Bitcoin soared over the past year, Larry Fink, CEO of the world's largest asset manager BlackRock, admitted to misunderstanding Bitcoin. Donald Trump, former U.S. President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate, recently revealed that Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, has also "suddenly changed his attitude." Dimon was once a major skeptic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

It is reported that, driven by the "Trump Trading Trend," the price of Bitcoin has recently soared to $650,000. Trump has repeatedly stated during his election campaign that he will fully support cryptocurrencies.

In an interview, Trump said, "You know, Jamie Dimon was very negative, and now he has changed his attitude." Last month, Trump privately met with Dimon and about 80 other corporate executives, including the CEOs of Citigroup, Bank of America, and Apple, calling it a "feast of love."

Although Wall Street has become enthusiastic about investing in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, Dimon has been a critic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, calling it a "fraud" and a "Ponzi scheme" in April. Dimon has said that if he were in government, he would "shut it down" and called Bitcoin a "waste of time," a "useless pet rock."

However, Dimon has led JPMorgan to develop and deploy its own blockchain and cryptocurrency - JPM Coin to speed up and reduce trading costs.

If Trump returns to the White House in November, he does not rule out appointing Dimon as U.S. Treasury Secretary, saying he "has great respect for Jamie Dimon." JPMorgan declined to comment on Trump's remarks.

This week, Trump appointed James Woods, a former venture capitalist who supports Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, as a campaign partner in 2024.

Over the past few months, Trump has earned millions of dollars from a series of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on cryptographic technology, which has put him at odds with the Biden administration's anti-cryptography stance. Trump announced support for cryptocurrencies at the end of May and began accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as campaign donations.

"I have met industry insiders, and they are all top talent," Trump said. Last month, he met with executives from major Bitcoin mining companies in the United States and took advice from David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine. With Bailey's push, Trump became a major speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 conference to be held later this month in Nashville.

Last month, at a Silicon Valley fundraiser hosted by investors David Sachs and Chamath Palihapitiya, Trump launched a charm offensive for cryptocurrency. "He said he would be the crypto president," said Trevor Traina, a San Francisco tech executive and former Trump ambassador to Austria.

As of press time, Bitcoin has fallen 1.08% to $64,493. According to a press release issued by German law enforcement authorities on July 16, the German government sold 50,000 bitcoins detained in January for €2.64 billion ($2.89 billion) in revenue.
