From Satoshi to Saylor: The Crypto Undercurrent in the Epstein Files

Recent disclosures from the "Epstein Files" reveal significant, previously unknown connections between the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and the cryptocurrency industry. As early as 2011, Epstein was aware of Bitcoin, calling it a "brilliant idea" with "serious flaws." The documents show he was involved in discussions about Bitcoin's nature, invested in the seed round of infrastructure firm Blockstream, and received updates on market developments from figures like a16z's Steven Sinofsky. The files suggest Epstein may have met with "some Bitcoin creators," potentially including Satoshi Nakamoto, raising questions about Bitcoin's origins and the U.S. government's knowledge. He also proposed creating Sharia-compliant digital currencies to Middle Eastern contacts. Additionally, the documents include a harsh critique of MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor from 2010, describing him as a socially awkward "weirdo" at one of Epstein's parties. The revelations, which also involve investments in projects like Ripple and Stellar, hint at a deeper, hidden history of crypto's early days, with more information potentially yet to be disclosed.

Bitcoin Pioneer Adam Back Addresses Mention In Epstein Files

Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back addressed allegations linking him and Blockstream to Jeffrey Epstein, following the circulation of excerpts from the "Epstein files." Back stated that during Blockstream's 2014 seed funding round, they were introduced to Epstein through MIT Media Lab's former director Joi Ito, who described Epstein as a limited partner in his fund. This fund later invested a minority stake in Blockstream. However, Back emphasized that the connection was brief and indirect, with Ito's fund divesting its shares months later due to potential conflicts of interest. He asserted that Blockstream has no financial ties to Epstein or his estate. The allegations resurfaced due to emails and screenshots showing Epstein's involvement in Blockstream's early fundraising, including a tenfold increase in his investment and travel coordination involving Back. A viral social media thread attempted to connect Epstein's investment to later disputes over Bitcoin's scaling decisions, suggesting financial ties to key Bitcoin Core developers. At the time of reporting, BTC was trading at $77,750.
