Jamie Dimon, the chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, is one of the most well-known bankers in the world.
Back when bitcoin was a bubble among crypto-investors in late 2017, he made headlines for saying "if you're stupid enough to buy it, you'll pay the price for it one day."
Just a few months later, he retraced his stance on the then-futuristic currency and said he had come to see merit in the unique type of financial instrument. JPMorgan even went on to develop a platform using blockchain technology to process private transactions.
More recently, he has said the coronavirus pandemic is a "wake-up call" to build a more inclusive society that recognizes the financial situations of all parties involved in the economy.
Dimon has said he looks forward to share more ideas on how to create an economy that is stronger, more resilient, and offers "widespread access to opportunity."
