  1. #EpsteinFiles: not only did Jeffrey #Epstein fund the entire bitcoin development team at #MIT Media Lab from 2015-????, he took a special interest in Madars Virza, co-founder of the "privacy coin" ZCash (#ZEC).

    #ZCash “fixes” the main issue with bitcoin, at least for people like Jeffrey Epstein. Zcash transactions are encrypted / private and therefore nothing about them is publicly visible in a block explorer¹ (and therefore any suspicious large transactions would not even be noticed).

    ZCash, (unlike #Monero / #XMR, its prime competitor in the “privacy coin” space), is not an open source project. It’s privatized secret money created by a corporation. That corporation (Electric Coin Co.) also just so happens to have been funded by DCG, the crypto VC fund Larry Summers sat on the board of for 7 years after being introduced to Brock Pierce by Jeffrey Epstein. ZCash is actually one of #DCG’s flagship investments 🤔

    Hard not to think that Epstein wasn’t meeting with #MadarsVirza to make a few “feature requests” that would make #ZCash more useful for people like Jeffrey #Epstein.

    (it’s also worth at least mentioning that all of the cryptoverse’s biggest cretins like the #Winklevoss twins, Naval, Emperor Shillbertine, etc. started pushing ZCash HARD a month or two ago as the “true” bitcoin, but that’s probably a subject for a separate post)

    ¹ though a lot of people think the transactions are visible to #ElectricCoinCo via a backdoor, which is v. different from Monero. i haven't done the work to have an opinion on whether that's true or not, but a lot of bros call ZCash some variant of "CIAcoin"

    #TheCryptocalypseChronicles: A Rather Alarming Epstein / Russia / Israel Crypto Timeline

    The recently released #EpsteinFiles make it crystal clear that #Epstein's involvement in #crypto was much deeper and long lasting than had been previously understood.

    Not only do we now know that Epstein funded bitcoin's development team at #MIT starting from 2015, we also now know that #Epstein introduced #Tether co-founder, #SteveBannon business partner, #EOS scammer, and man with an extremely sordid history of sex crimes against children #BrockPierce to former #Harvard president #LarrySummers. Summers would go on to join the board of #DigitalCurrencyGroup (#DCG), the most important crypto VC fund in the U.S.

    Beyond that there's

    1. Epstein's proposal to a #Russian #FSB operative that they should create a #BRICS stablecoin

    2. A bunch of sinister sounding emails between Epstein and"influential men" in #Qatar about "the e-currency"

    3. Bannon + Epstein's plot to undermine Europe with crypto money

    4. The integration of #BrockPierce and the #Netanyahu family

    5. Accusations from the former head of #Mossad's financial unit about Netanyahu's involvement in crypto

    6. The relationship between Chinese criminal #MilesGuo AKA #MilesKwok, Steve Bannon, and Epstein

    ...and so much more. Retoots appreciated.

  3. 2018 Email from Jeffrey #Epstein to Steve #Bannon:

    > “Later today we can discuss Michael and his coins”

    Trying to figure out who this could be. some possibilities:

    1. Michael Saylor is a huge figure in crypto with his $65 billion “borrow money to buy bitcoin” play at #MicroStrategy / #MSTR but he didn’t start that play until 2020.

    2. Michael Sonnenshein? We know Larry Summers was tight with Epstein and he was on the board of DCG around this time. DCG owned grayscale, which manages GBTC (the first bitcoin ETF, launched ca. 2015). There was a particular kind of BTC / GBTC carry trade that was incredibly popular with traders around this time.

    3. [edit] Michael Barr? Architect of Dodd-Frank, associated with #Ripple Labs and #XRP at that time.

    4. Some smaller player involved with Bannon & Epshteyn's #FJB #memecoin?

    Other ideas?
