🕕 Saylor, Epstein and $500k Blockstream: dirty money at the start of Bitcoin
💣 The main holder of Bitcoin — Michael Saylor — unexpectedly surfaced in the scandalous lists of Jeffrey Epstein.
📝 Letters from 2010 describe him as:
"a complete loser, a drugged zombie without a personality"
💸 Allegedly, Saylor was spending $25,000 on food and wine to get into the parties of the "cool kids".
🤦 Socialite Peggy Siegel wrote that even with the money, people were fleeing from him — he was that stuffy and strange.
⚠️ But the most interesting part — Epstein's money.
≈ $500,000 of "dirty capital" funneled through MIT Media Lab ended up in the early funding of Blockstream — a key company building the infrastructure for Bitcoin.
💀 For the crypto community, this is a blow to the myth:
the narrative of a "clean and independent" ecosystem of the first cryptocurrency is starting to crack.
