Shock: Grumpy Boomer Banker And Politician Don’t Like Crypto

In the latest episode of Boomers Bash Bitcoin, Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s CEO, continued his disdain for crypto. 🤡

During a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Wednesday, Dimon’s anti-crypto campaign reached a crescendo, where he suggested banning cryptocurrencies due to their use in criminal activities. It’s a bold stance, especially considering the U.S. Dollar’s long-standing reign as the preferred currency for illicit activities.

Terrorists and money launderers have long favored the dollar, yet crypto takes the heat.

Despite Dimon’s crusade against crypto, his bank has its own form of crypto (JPM Coin). It’s like a vegan running a steakhouse—confusing, amusing, and a tad hypocritical.

Even Senator Elizabeth Warren, usually a critic of big banks, agreed with Dimon on the need for crypto regulations. 

And everyone knows when politicians and mega-banks agree on something, it’s always a good thing. 🤣

I almost wrote she’d kill me, but if I did that, there’d probably be a SWAT team and an army of social workers making sure I’m ok.

One Way To Use Stocktwits’ Social Data Tools

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘volume precedes price’? It’s an old-school technical analysis 101 maxim. For example, if an instrument is in a downtrend but then you start to see volume tick up, the theory is that price will follow the volume. 🧑‍🎓

It’s what technical analysts call a leading indicator—a heads-up or a warning that the probability of change is high and that it might happen soon. Analysts and traders might apply that principle (volume precedes price) to the Stocktwits Social Data.
