An extremely pointed message from @POTUS to those who are dragging their feet on CLARITY.
This is, and always has been, about what’s in the best interest of the American people.
If not for Jeffrey Epstein and @austinhill attempting to snuff-out competition to protect Bitcoin, OpenCoin, the predecessor to Ripple would have already been adopted by @Google more than a decade ago. $XRP is the rightful #1 cryptocurrency.
Epstein had informants watching Ripple and XRP from the very beginning.
In this document someone is telling Epstein that Jed McCaleb was working on a “secret Bitcoin project” before he left Mt Gox to launch Ripple and the XRPL.
The Epstein files link him to early Bitcoin. This rabbit hole is wild.
Jeffrey Epstein secretly funded MIT Media Lab via intermediaries - at least $13.3M USD between him and his associates.
During that same window MIT funds were used to support Bitcoin Core developers when core funding was thin.
Epstein was referred to as “Voldemort” to hide his identity.
Epstein visited MIT Media Lab around 9 times despite denying it .
Joi Ito (director of MIT labs) emailed Epstein thanking him: “Used gift funds to underwrite this… thanks”
Epstein replied “gavin is clever” to Joi Ito’s email (referring to Gavin Andresen, one of the devs MIT was paying with Epstein’s money).
For reference / Gavin Andresen was one of the earliest and most important Bitcoin devs.
Epstein held meetings at his mansion with Brock Pierce and Larry Summers to discuss bitcoin
Bwteen 2014–2018 emails showed Epstein asking Steve Bannon about crypto taxes and how to avoid campaign finance rules
Steve Bannon exchanged hundreds of texts with Epstein, replying “On it” to requests
Kevin Warsh is listed in a 2010 email as a potential Epstein dinner invite.
Howard Lutnick (CEO of Tether’s banking partner and Trump’s commerce secretary) appears in 2012 travel records linked to Epstein’s island.
This mf had ties everywhere holy shit. Imagine what’s still redacted.
@van00sa He also has ties to Gary gensler around the time gensler was talking about how ripple would face court challenges in the future when he was a professor at mit....low and behold.....
