🚨 Did he use Bitcoin's Epstein in its early days to cover up his crimes?🧠💰
Some still believe that Jeffrey Epstein had no connection to cryptocurrencies, arguing that they were not popular at that time.
❌ This is absolutely incorrect.
Epstein entered the world of Bitcoin early in 2015, at a time when this sector was marginal, obscure, and off the radar of major institutions 🕶️⏳
Let me tell you the strangest story you might come across today📖⚠️
In 2014 and 2015, Bitcoin was still a relatively niche currency. A very small number of early investors, no investment funds, no ETFs, no Wall Street, and no real media interest. It was a completely experimental phase. 🧪📉
At that specific time, the name Jeffrey Epstein appeared in emails directly linked to research on cryptocurrencies and encryption.📧🔐
The email displayed in the screenshot is not important because of its superficial content, but because of the context in which it appeared.🧩👁️
Epstein was in contact with Joi Ito, the former director of the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).🏛️🧠
And here the story becomes more dangerous.⚠️⚫
The Media Lab at MIT was one of the first academic institutions to deal with Bitcoin not as a speculative currency, but as an alternative financial system, as a core to reshape the concept of money, transfers, and monetary authority💡💸
This was not the cryptocurrency market as we know it today. In 2015, a large proportion of uses were linked to black markets, unregulated transfers, and activities outside the traditional financial system.🌑🔄
In that series of emails, Epstein explicitly referred to what was called the "digital currency initiative."🧾🔍
This initiative later turned into one of the most important academic centers for Bitcoin research in the world.
The Digital Currency Initiative at MIT worked directly with the developers of Bitcoin Core and hosted a select group of minds that contributed to establishing the technical and intellectual infrastructure of Bitcoin in its early years.👨‍💻⚙️
The issue was not just a theoretical interest.❗
Epstein was not only aware of this, but he was also financially involved.💵🕸️
After Epstein's arrest, multiple reports revealed that he used donation boxes and indirect funding channels to funnel money into projects within MIT, including initiatives linked to the media lab.🧳➡️🏛️
And here we understand the meaning of the phrase
"Using donated funds to finance this".🧠🔎
The mechanism was smart:🧩
Transfer money quietly, quickly, and without Epstein's name appearing directly. No noise, no accountability, no clear trace.🤫⚡
And this is essential, because Epstein was not donating randomly🎯
His approach has always been based on influence through access🔑👤

The advanced research mall that was not subject to any real regulation:
Artificial intelligence, genetics, encryption, and alternative financial systems 🤖🧬🔐
Cryptocurrencies were a perfect piece in this pattern.🪙♟️
This does not mean that Epstein invented Bitcoin, nor that he controlled it.❌👑
But it means something more serious: ⚠️
He could see where the centers of power would be before everyone else👁️‍🗨️
Before Wall Street.🏦
Before governments.🏛️
Before most investors.👥
And here appears the question that the crypto world doesn't like to ask:❓🔥
Why is a power-hungry man interested in the field of digital currencies at a time when it was neither profitable, nor popular, nor organized🕳️💰
And why specifically currencies designed to operate outside the traditional banking system?
And why the systems built on encryption, privacy, the need for no permission, and cross-border transfers?🔐🌐
We already know that Epstein always planted himself within future strengths. He didn't invent them, but entered them early.
Digital currencies were one of those points.🪙⚫
This does not tarnish the reputation of Bitcoin itself.🛡️
Bitcoin does not care who watches it or who tries to exploit it.🧱
But pretending that Epstein had no connection to early cryptocurrency research is a denial of reality.❌🧠
The evidence is available.📂
The emails are available.📧
Funding pathways are available.🧾
In the end, this is expected from Epstein, as he simply always exploited future loopholes before others noticed them.
