Bitcoin appears in Epstein’s emails by 2011.
Monero doesn’t.
Because surveillance money serves power, not freedom.

Possibly because Monero didn't exist in 2011
They weren't interested in tail emissions?
I think he's saying that Monero doesn't exist in any of the emails not just the ones in 2011, which is a true statement.
They are 100% aware of Monero lol the entire darknet economy runs on it.
Breaking News : Dogecoin does not appear in Epstein's emails either.


😱
There are probably thousands of other tokens that also don't get a mention.
How do you know?
Go on any darknet market and you will find either completely monero exclusive markets, or hybrid bitcoin and Monero markets where most vendors accept only Monero. Also D/Opsec in Dread basically says to only use Monero on DNMs. From this we can easily conclude that Monero is a vast majority of darknet transactions.
But they're not used as much as Monero. Monero is used even more than Bitcoin for real world transactions but unlike Bitcoin is completely opaque and untraceable.
Alright I talk about stats a lot so time to bring in the reciepts (note that I don't have X so these are the latest I can find with search engines):
ShopinBit: https://x.com/shopinbit/status/1978715781744472132
69% Monero
28.89% Bitcoin
0.19% Lightning
This is literally the tagline on the website, they only mention Bitcoin: "A privacy-first service for ordering anything with Bitcoin & crypto, worldwide. No login or extra verification needed"

44% Monero
18% Nano
13% Bitcoin
Cant really see it doesn't have a number but maybe 1 or 2% lightning
Numbers from December. The website is focused on Nano and offers a 5% discount in Nano compared to all over currencies. Monero still dominates.

Latest is only from Oct 3,2023 mind you yet we find:
32.82% Bitcoin
32.22% Monero
2.4% Lightning
Woohoo Bitcoin wins! Wait by 0.6% on a site focused and advertised with Bitcoin 2 years ago while bitcoin supposedly has 20x the market cap. Curious to see the stats now.
From these stats (ignoring even darknet market dominance) I make the assured and certain conclusion that the free market PREFERS Monero as a medium of exchange. I challenge anyone to refute this I'd love to hear counterarguments or counter evidence most importantly.
