Yes, actions > words. Lots of talk about both Bitcoin and Epstein. Pedos are running free; privacy tool developers are thrown into prison. Somehow fitting that it’s that the Cypherpunk Manifesto Day...

"Have fun playing with your Bitcoins" was a tell. Once a snake, always a snake.

it's worse than that. Epstein files have been mostly been deleted. the archivists have proof because they thought ahead.

1) Why is wasabi left alone instead? 2) "disgusting" is the word that comes to mind for this action

Broken if measured in a new system. Working exactly as designed in the current system.

Corrupt beyond repair Jeff

The asymmetry is the tell. Roman Storm wrote math that anyone can read and audit. The people who moved children across borders for decades did so with institutional cover — and still no charges. What gets prosecuted reveals what the system is actually protecting. Code threatens the money. The other thing threatened the powerful. Both prosecutorial decisions make perfect sense once you accept that premise. Free Roman.

They (indirectly) killed Aaron Swartz for realising public funded university studies. A brilliant young guy that only wanted to share public funded knowledge. I'm really not sure if this will end well for the current system. The bubbles are spreading, the repercussion are being felt. Even though it feels like people get away with stuff, the reality is something is changing. There's an energy bubbling, in my view.

@npub1s05p...eyhe I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on Aaron Day’s and Steve Patterson’s observations and theses on Hijacking Bitcoin. I’ve had many of these observations over the years: Big blocks should have helped to scale up transaction speed, per Satoshi’s original intent to keep Bitcoin a medium of exchange. I’ve become uncomfortable over the past couple years as I’ve seen the many points of centralization in Bitcoin’s evolution, something which I witnessed significantly in 2018; and have been convinced of in 2025, seeing the problems in Bitcoin Core. Now, the revelation of how Jeffrey Epstein sponsored and funded the change to MIT hosting the Bitcoin Core development at the exact same time that he funded the development of CBDCs, and The Bitcoin Foundation died. Some sober realism about the state of Bitcoin is in order. This may take more honesty and courage than we can muster, to save.

Not to mention Ray Yousseff kidnapped from Mexico and arrested for some ancient trivial p2p compliance issue.
