The “Epstein hijacked bitcoin” FUD is truly some of the most mid-curve politislop I’ve ever heard. If you see someone spouting this nonsense, first try to educate them politely. If that doesn’t work, ridicule them into oblivion.

If someone is spouting off that shite then you ignore them because they don’t even understand the basics of what bitcoin is. Let them find out at a later date.

I don't think he did but lets be honest there will be plenty of intel and feds who will continue to try. Once they start having failed treasury auctions or close to it they will likely come after us hard.
The "Epstein hijacked bitcoin engagement FUD influencer post" is truly some of the most lazy, sociopathic bullshit I've ever seen. Why aren't people with platforms doing their fucking job and talking about the fact that: A) Adam Back probably went to the island when he couldn't have not known Epstein was a pedophile and a suspected sex trafficker B) Bryan Bishop sought funding for genetic baby engineering at a time where he couldn't have not known Epstein was a pedophile and suspected sex trafficker C) Jeremy Rubin sought funding from Epstein and also speculated in a chummy way with him on the universal intellectual inferiority of women at a time where he couldn't have not known Epstein was a pedophile and suspected sex trafficker.
And I'm not a monero boi or knots retard looking for a scalp, nor am I in the diminishingly small population of XRP spedmoids who think Epstein invented or hijacked bitcoin. I would just like bitcoin engagement content to not be one big long commercial break that carries water for people with deviant moral lapses.
I trust you've got your facts right, but it is possible any one of these people may not have known Epstein's crimes at the time, no? I don't know exactly when, but gather these interactions were a decently long time back, when the charges/convictions were less well publicized.

I know about this reference. I mean I'd seen it a few days ago. Genuinely imagine it's possible he wasn't aware (I know I hadn't heard of Epstein or his crimes then). Seems plausible to me anyway, so curious why you'd claim he must have known. Also, KNOWING and hearing rumors about are kinda different things imo. Just thinking aloud, since you convinced he would have been sure of extent of crimes by then etc.
None of these people have risen to address these communications, so we can't know what their official excuse is. But the questions should be asked of them, which nobody of consquwnce has bothered to do.
Yeah, I would expect them to at least speculate like we are here. Not sure if they are or not, but knowing how things work I know what you mean. Aside from that though, it's not for Adam (gonna stick with his example) to necessarily feel obligated to comment. Might be a legal thing, or just a "it's none of your business i don't owe you explanation for my personal choices" thing 🤷‍♀️
In the case of the latter, then nobody owes him the benefit of the doubt, because it's very fucking simple to clear the air. UNLESS he's waiting to make sure he's not in any more of the forthcoming doc drops, so he can confidently make up an excuse.
I dunno, it feels a little cancel culturey to bent out of shape and demand an explanation when there's not even an alleged crime. You make a good case though
If I can be the voice of reason as well, I think the criticism is less about the pedophilia and a direct question about what exactly did Epstein buy by influencing the development of Bitcoin. Knowing his history the question is what in the background of finance and tech development is compromised potentially and ignoring this question doesn't make BTC better.
Fuck off retard. It's clearly a problem that Bitcoin has been hijacked by dollarbrains, and the Epstein files included some good reminders of this.
