Yes, you heard it right, it's that billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice released over 3 million pages of the 'Epstein Files'. Goodness, you don't know until you look, and once you do, you’re shocked — Bitcoin has been on the radar of the elites since its inception! Epstein's 'crypto layout': earlier than Satoshi Nakamoto?
First, let me highlight: In 2016, Epstein casually mentioned in an email to an advisor to the Middle Eastern royal family: 'I have communicated with some Bitcoin creators.'
Note that he used 'creators'—in plural! This one 's' directly shatters the 'Holy Grail mystery' of the crypto world over the past decade. Satoshi Nakamoto may never have been one person, but a group of 'creators' sharing a pseudonym!
Even more outrageous is that Epstein's interest in Bitcoin predates that of most Wall Street bigwigs. In 2011, he praised Bitcoin as 'great', while warning of its potential risks. In 2014, through the former director of the MIT Media Lab, Joi Ito, he invested $500,000 in the seed round financing of Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream.
In December of the same year, his IGO company invested $3 million in Coinbase's Series C financing, which was then valued at only $400 million. Today, Coinbase's market value exceeds $44 billion; even Wall Street would call that investment return 'daddy'!
Satoshi Nakamoto's 'guest list': Mysterious visitors at the United Nations Climate Week
What is most chilling is that Epstein's personal log shows 'Satoshi Nakamoto' prominently listed on the guest list for the United Nations Climate Week, sitting next to financial giants like Larry Summers and Peter Thiel.
Among the five core developers of Bitcoin, as many as three have been linked to Epstein since 2015. When the Bitcoin core project faced a crisis in 2014, Epstein funded the development of the project through the MIT Media Lab, including supporting Gavin Andresen.
Where is the 'decentralization'? This is clearly 'centralization' into Epstein's pocket!
The 'Shame Alliance' of crypto bigwigs
Do you think this is the end? Too young, too simple!
Epstein's address book also contains the name of Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy. In an email from 2010, someone commented: 'Saylor is a complete weirdo. He has no personality.'
Kevin Warsh, the new nominee for Fed Chairman by Trump, also appeared on the guest list for the 2010 St. Barts New Year's Eve party. Goodness, the Fed Chairman hasn't even taken office yet, and he's already partied with the 'Lolita Island master'!
Peter Thiel has frequent email exchanges with Epstein, discussing whether Bitcoin is a currency, a store of value, or property. The PayPal co-founder discussing the future of cryptocurrency with a billionaire sex offender—this scene is too beautiful for me to look at.
The 'truth' behind the Bitcoin crash: the collapse of belief
Now do you understand why Bitcoin dropped from its historical high of $126,000 in October 2025 to its current $66,000? Because the belief in 'decentralization' has collapsed!
Retail investors thought they were fighting against centralized power, only to find they were the ones being manipulated by centralized power. Institutional funds poured into ETFs, totaling $1.7 billion, while only 106 million people globally hold Bitcoin—how is this 'people's currency'? It's clearly 'the elite's toy'!
Bitcoin reached $78,000 in February 2026, but retail interest has faded. There are no new buyers, no upward momentum, only institutional funds playing a game of 'hot potato'.
The 'Emperor's New Clothes' of the crypto world
In the crypto world, we are best at telling stories, but today’s story is so convincing that even the storyteller believes it.
Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity may be the greatest gift to Bitcoin—because a kingdom without a king can truly belong to everyone. But the problem is, this kingdom has been secretly controlled by the elites from the very beginning.
Epstein is not Satoshi Nakamoto, but he is scarier than Nakamoto—he may be the 'network broker' who orchestrated things behind the scenes. The early development of Bitcoin, MIT's funding, Wall Street's investments, and politicians' endorsements have turned this 'open-source project' into a puppet of the elites.
When the Trump administration selectively declassified documents and blacked out key evidence, we finally saw clearly: the collapse of belief in cryptocurrency is essentially the ultimate harvest of power over the discourse of technology.
The self-cultivation of retail investors
Finally, a piece of advice for all you folks: In the crypto world, you can believe in technology, but never believe in stories. Especially when the storyteller sits at the same table as the 'Lolita Island master'.
Bitcoin will not go to zero, because the elites still need this toy. But your belief may go to zero when you realize that the so-called 'decentralization' is just another power game of 'centralization'.
Remember, in the crypto world, the biggest risk is not market volatility, but the story you believe in, which is fundamentally a joke$BTC #爱泼斯坦案烧向币圈
