And now you're delving into simplistic romanticism.
You're watching a movie where the bad guys are all bumbling buffoons and the heroes are all super geniuses.
Once you graduate from the Disney school of economics, you'll realize one glaring truth: no one becomes rich by accident. The wealthiest people, no matter how corrupt, are always intelligent.
And the reason for this is simple: a fool and his money are soon parted. Always.
Whenever an imbecile gets a large amount of money (say, by winning the lottery) the money always disappears overnight. Money in the hands of idiots is like snow---it never lasts.
So yes, these corrupt Wall Street tycoons are intelligent. Intelligent enough to know that Bitcoin is a threat to their precious status quo. For you to assume that they're just a gaggle of idiots who had the reigns of power handed to them at random shows that you really have no idea how reality works.
Good luck with the rest of your movie. I hear it has a post-credits scene.
Wrong again. The system in which crooked means intelligent is crumbling before your eyes. Dimon wouldn't cry in public if he does not feel endangered with all his “intelligence”.

What a frightening and confusing world this must be for you, where any idiot can become a billionaire, and success is the result of some invisible random number generator that passes down contextless judgments upon the huddling masses, where luck alone determines one's ultimate triumph or failure.
I have noticed that the same hallucination is shared by many on the shallow end of the success spectrum. They cannot conceive that their own failures could be their own fault, so they throw up their hands and say that the successful are merely luckier than themselves, not smarter.
You say the Wolf of Wall Street is unintelligent? That any dimwit could get where he has gotten? Well, then why don't you do it? If any idiot can make millions of dollars on Wall Street, then it should be no trouble for a...*cough*...genius like yourself.
So why don't you put your own theory to the test? Be sure to let me know, once you're a multibillionaire. That'll sure teach me for thinking that getting rich is a difficult task that not everyone can do.
Have a nice life.

Let's get to the square one, where you said:
Success of Jamie Dimon is not a result of his intelligence, but a criminal doings. World wouldn't be in crisis if the Wall Street gurus were intelligent. When you consider them intelligent, you do approve their criminal doings, and than you are AMAZED by the blind spots. You think billioners are most intelligent? What planet do you live on?

Oh, are you already done becoming a Wall Street billionaire?
My, that was fast. I suppose you just waltzed into the New York Stock exchange, demanded a billion dollars, and they immediately coronated you, eh?
Strange that I didn't read about it in the papers....
But seriously, you think that acknowledgement of a person's intelligence equals an affirmation of their morals? What universe do you live in?
Other than that, I'm afraid I don't know what your problem is. I made a rather innocuous and noncontroversial statement, as a simple comment on a blog post. Yet you took that completely neutral statement as an all out declaration of war.
Deal with your issues however you will. But don't drag me into your personal hangups.
Have a lovely day. :)
