I would not have predicted this due to my ignorance of the details of BTC management, but in hindsight it seems obvious that Epstein would be involved in legacy financial involvement in BTC. It has become apparent of late that the legacy financial interests have become the primary recipients of the cryptocurrency, and have employed the mechanisms that enable them to capture and manipulate other currencies and assets to BTC.
Here's the receipts, briefly sketched out and easily understandable, even for relative n00bs like me.
I have consistently noted that BTC is just data, and there isn't a secure FOSS physical network over which BTC can communicate transactions at scale. The infrastructure on which the internet is dependent is wholly owned by legacy financial interests. Additionally, the panoptic surveillance in recent decades has created a Big Data pool that is perfect to enable AI to manage by algorithm based on that data, and this allows every specific user, every specific crypto, and each specific transaction to be individually managed automatically at the whim of the owners of the physical infrastructure. They own the pipes, and decide what flows through them, at their sole option.
This granular control transforms every cryptocurrency functionally into a CBDC, and whatever metrics they find desirable can be applied to each and every transaction. This means that the value of BTC is whatever they say it is, because even if you have 1M BTC, they can prevent you personally from spending one satoshi on steak, stock, or anything at all anytime they want, for any reason whatsoever. Every communication of data over their pipes depends on their permission, and their surveillance data about everyone in the world enables them to use AI to apply selected algorithms to granularly permit communications, including transactions, based on any metrics they choose.
Rather than freeing us from banksters, cryptocurrency actually renders us completely at their mercy.
YMMV, but you pays your money and you takes your chances. Do you feel lucky? Do you trust your overlords? Nothing is easier than censorship, and they demonstrably have the unitary power to censor anything they want that depends on their permission, which the internet demonstrably does.
More information is better, and oddly the release of some Epstein files is vital information regarding BTC. Have a look at this brief (<10M) video.
