I am surprised-not-surprised that Bitcoiners (and their influencers) don't want to discuss their technical authorities (including Core developers) who sought funds from Epstein or even likely went to the island -- all at a time when it was well-established that he was a convicted pedophile and solicitor of child prostitution with a mountain of federal evidence that he was a sex trafficker. I'm not talking about a witch hunt. Just something more than a shruggie. Then again, our mascot is an ostrich, which characteristically sticks its heads in the ground.
