i wrote about bitcoin enforcing US hegemony in 2021 and was patient zero of inscriptions being a meaningful technology for publishing.
now a bunch of Qtard Softwarts are mad at me because i mockingly retweeted a retarded clip about "Bitcoin's encryption" protecting military data
in 2013, Gross emails Epstein about a new currency idea.
from 2011 through February 2014, Elkus and Gross' clearstone ventures employed Brock Pierce and William Quigley to run an online gaming fund.
in October 2014, Pierce (with Quigley and others) launched what became Tether.
Trump just pardoned the Soros pal who "broke the bank of England" with Soros (and current Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent) for a financial crime he pled guilty to.
Lewis is part of what the NYT once called a currency trading (and manipulating) "cabal" that also included Jimmy Goldsmith, arguably Epstein's first major contact in the world of elite finance back in the early 1970s. (Epstein was arguably part of this cabal after the NYT wrote them in the mid-1990s, given the multiple attestations to his abilities in "currency stabilization" and the reverse and currency trading in general)
I first wrote about Lewis years ago (2019) because he has created his own de facto state in El Bolsón, Argentina, where he has bought out the local government and has his staff regularly threaten to kill (and has nearly succeeded) locals if they try and access the public lake his mansion borders. However, according to sources I spoke with when I traveled there to report about it for MintPress, he allows IDF soldiers on vacation in South America to access the lake and his property, they brag about it in local hostals.
He also owns an airstrip that the Argentine govt oddly has no oversight of what comes in or out and locals who suggested planes were using it to make suspect trips to the Falkland Islands ended up having their living room shot up.
In addition, he is a close business associate of Marcelo Mindlin, who long with Eduardo Elzstain, are the men Soros hand-picked to run his Argentine interests until they parted ways a few years ago. Mindlin and Lewis jointly control most of Argentina's power grid and Elzstain is one of the biggest forces in real estate and banking as well as the host of the Llao Llao Forum, where Argentine business elites meet behind closed doors (like a South American WEF). Elzstain and Mindlin are interestingly BIG Javier Milei backers. Maybe something to think about given that a long-time Soros associate now running the Treasury Department wants to use billions in taxpayer funds to keep him afloat.
It's not "America First" it's "Criminal Banker Syndicate First"
It truly is a blessing that by a rule of thumb, the dumbest people in this space have somehow managed to acquire the most followers, so let me set this straight:
It has not been previously known that Epstein directly funded the Digital Chrrency Initiative.
It has also not been known that the money “gifted” by Epstein was directly used to fund Bitcoin Core developers, filling in for the Bitcoin Foundation - as detailed in the emails, which Nic clearly did not choose to read before commenting.
What *has* been known is that Epstein donated to the Media Lab - with connections to the DCI merely *suspected*.
The moral of this story is dont believe retarded influencers who told you to buy BlockFi. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
As @SimonDixonTwitt says it best, people's concerns are about the clear signs of how the Proof Of Weapons network might be influencing Bitcoin's development through Core.
If you fell into the Knots vs Core tribalistic discourse, you were highly mislead.

I’m at the point in the journey where I say:
Yes, the CIA invented bitcoin.
Yes, quantum will break it.
Yes, it will boil the oceans.
Yes, the government will shut it down any day now.
You definitely shouldn’t buy any.
it is a strange dilemma, this chestnut.
governments and institutions cant misplace $21tril in blackbooks on a transparent bitcoin standard, but citizens also cant transact privately or easily without scaling solutions that increase access to utxo ownership and private payments.
Woman has an insane meltdown because of her student loan debt that she says has a 17% interest rate that she didn’t know about. So her loan is now larger than it was at the start.
She’s now begging for rich celebrities to pay her debt off for her.
