Newly released emails show Epstein was far closer to early Bitcoin funding and research circles than previously known. The connections touch developers, academics, investors, and political figures.
Key links that stand out:
Epstein sent about $850,000 to MIT between 2002 and 2017. Part of this money supported the MIT Digital Currency Initiative, which later paid Bitcoin Core developers during a funding shortfall.
The MIT DCI funded developers like Gavin Andresen and Wladimir van der Laan after the Bitcoin Foundation ran out of money. Epstein visited MIT nine times. His name was hidden internally and staff referred to him as “Voldemort.”
Emails describe a meeting at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion with Brock Pierce and Larry Summers. Bitcoin was discussed years before mainstream adoption. Summers saw potential but worried about reputational risk if prices collapsed.
In 2018 Epstein emailed Bannon asking about crypto taxes, receiving coins, spending coins, and avoiding campaign finance rules. Bannon replied “On it” and connected him with FEC experts and crypto figures.
Amazon records show Epstein buying books on Bitcoin, Ethereum, blockchain, and negotiation in 2017, while rebuilding his network.
These links suggest Epstein had access to developers, regulators, donors, and early crypto investors. None of this was public at the time.
The emails also show MIT underreported donations, visits were discreet, meetings were not logged, and senior officials approved funding privately.
This does not prove Epstein controlled Bitcoin or influenced its direction. It does show he was closer to the ecosystem than most people ever assumed.

Every single crypto bull run ever (2013, 2017 and 2021) happened when the ISM moved up above 50.
Yesterday we hit 52.6.
This entire cycle since 2021 we’ve been below 50 with only tiny blips above the surface.
This is by far the largest move up we’ve had this cycle.
Run it hot.

After enough “existential threats,” each cycle feels less terminal.
The early shocks were brutal. Later ones were still violent, but easier to process.
Not because they were smaller, but because the brain had adapted.
Every cycle leaves scar tissue.
In crypto, scar tissue turns into antifragility. Better priors. Faster reflexes. Cleaner counterparty rules.
Experience does not compress.
Time is the one leverage nobody can liquidate.

🫡 L2 as we knew it is over
Vitalik Buterin said the old idea of “L2 = simple Ethereum scaling” no longer holds.
Ethereum L1 is scaling on its own. At the same time, many L2s are moving too slowly toward full trust minimization.
➡️ If an L2 brings real new properties, it earns its place
➡️ If it doesn’t, it should be treated as a more independent network, not an Ethereum extension
The market will have to reprice what “being an L2” actually means.

Vitalik Buterin sold roughly 6% of his ETH over the past 2 days, reducing his balance from about 241k ETH to 227k ETH.
The move came right after his public comments that the old “L2 as simple Ethereum scaling” model is effectively over.

Quiet week so far.
The only active position at the moment is $AUDUSD.
While the algo stays in scan mode and waits for proper setups, we took a closer look at $BTC.
Sharp selloff, X is full of bear market calls, 40k targets, Saylor underwater, the usual stuff.
That kind of sentiment often sets the stage for a local bounce.
The 64.5k area looks interesting for a potential bounce.
There’s a high chance we’ll be looking to bid that zone.
A precise setup, if it comes, will be shared in the premium channel.

We don't really recommend borrowing to buy risk assets, unless you really know what you are doing.
But this person, did a great job.
