Bitcoin slides after Jamie Dimon bashes the cryptocurrency

He doesn't want any bitcoin traders at his firm.

Bitcoin is trading down Tuesday afternoon after one of the most powerful men on Wall Street said the red-hot cryptocurrency is in a bubble worse than any other in history.

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan, called bitcoin "a fraud" and "worse than the tulip bulbs" bubble of the 1600s while speaking at the Barclays Financial Services Conference.

Dimon also said that he would fire any trader using the cryptocurrency at the bank for being stupid, according to Bloomberg.

Ouch.
