🛑 Jeffrey Epstein and the "Founders of Bitcoin": What is real in the DOJ document?
The crypto market was caught by surprise with the resurfacing of an email from October 2016, now part of official files from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). In the document (EFTA00815445), Jeffrey Epstein claims to have spoken with the "founders of Bitcoin".
🔍 What does the document reveal?
In the email, Epstein discusses radical ideas: the creation of Sharia-based currencies (Islamic finance) and the use of Bitcoin as infrastructure for these new digital currencies. He describes his interlocutors as "very enthusiastic".
⚖️ Facts vs. Speculation
It is important to keep feet on the ground and analyze what is real:
The document is authentic: The email really exists in the DOJ files.
Lack of confirmation: There is no evidence that Epstein actually met with key figures of BTC or if he was just trying to gain relevance (the famous "name-dropping").
The term "Founders": In 2016, Bitcoin was already decentralized. Epstein's use of this term may be an exaggeration or a simplification of who he actually contacted.
💡 Why does this matter today?
The most revealing point is not the conspiracy, but the fact that, already in 2016, financial elites and influential figures did not see Bitcoin merely as an "internet currency", but as a global strategic infrastructure.
While the public debated whether Bitcoin was a bubble, actors behind the scenes were already planning how to use its technology to shape new monetary systems.
What do you think? Did Epstein really have access to the core of Bitcoin development or was he just playing one of his influence games?
