🚨 EPSTEIN USED $BTC EARLY ON TO COVER HIS TRACKS!!!
People still think Jeffrey Epstein had nothing to do with crypto because crypto wasn’t a thing yet.
THAT’S NOT TRUE AT ALL.
Epstein got into Bitcoin as early as 2015.
Let me tell you the craziest story you’ll hear today:
Back in 2014–2015, Bitcoin was still niche. Just a handful of early investors, that’s it. No ETFs or anything like that. I know because I was there.
That’s exactly when Epstein shows up in email trails connected to crypto research.
The email in the screenshot matters for one reason: context.
Jeffrey Epstein was communicating with Joi Ito, the former head of the MIT Media Lab.
The Media Lab was one of the earliest academic institutions openly researching Bitcoin, digital currencies, and cryptographic money systems.
This wasn’t the crypto market as we know it today. Back in 2015, almost all transactions were tied to criminal activity.
In that email chain, Epstein explicitly references the “Digital Currency Initiative.” That initiative later became one of the most important academic hubs for Bitcoin research.
MIT’s DCI worked closely with Bitcoin Core developers and hosted some of the most influential early thinkers in the space.
Epstein wasn’t just aware of it. He was financially involved.
According to multiple reports that surfaced after Epstein’s arrest, he used donor-advised funds and indirect channels to funnel money into MIT projects, including Media Lab initiatives.
That is what “used gift funds to underwrite this” is referring to. It allowed money to move quietly, quickly, and without Epstein’s name on it.
That matters, because Epstein didn’t just donate randomly. His pattern was influence through access.
He funded science. He funded academics. He funded cutting-edge research areas where regulation did not exist yet. AI. Genetics. Cryptography. Digital money fits perfectly into that pattern.
This doesn’t mean Epstein created Bitcoin or controlled it.
But it does mean he was paying attention far earlier than most people think.
