This Epstein is so mysterious. I initially thought he was just a high-level pimp, but it turns out he has quite good vision and was an early supporter of Bitcoin.

Epstein emails reveal close ties with early Bitcoin developers and investors
StarPlatinum posted on X platform that Epstein's related emails reveal multiple connections to the early Bitcoin ecosystem.
In terms of funding support, Epstein donated $850,000 to MIT between 2002 and 2017, with some funds supporting the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (DCI). During the Bitcoin Foundation's funding crisis, DCI paid salaries to Bitcoin Core developers such as Gavin Andresen and Wladimir van der Laan. Epstein visited MIT nine times and met privately with staff, with his identity kept hidden internally.
Regarding industry connections, email records show Epstein met at his Manhattan mansion with Tether co-founder Brock Pierce and former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers to discuss Bitcoin. Additionally, in 2018, Epstein emailed Steve Bannon to inquire about cryptocurrency taxation, token payment, and distribution rules. Steve Bannon subsequently introduced him to FEC experts and senior figures in the crypto industry.
Amazon transaction records show Epstein purchased books related to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and blockchain in 2017. Currently disclosed emails indicate MIT concealed the related donations, and Epstein's visit itinerary was not recorded. Although there is no current evidence that Epstein influenced Bitcoin's development, the information suggests his connections with developers, regulators, politicians, and early investors are closer than previously understood. $BTC
