if you come across that image of an email supposedly from jeffrey epstein claiming something about bitcoin, just know it’s fake. watch out for edited pics. you can double-check by going to the official doj website and searching for the name satoshi. you'll see there wasn’t any mention of satoshi in their documents until 2011. no emails regarding satoshi or bitcoin were sent before or even in 2008.

already some are being brainwashed by the ongoing news of the Epstein files newly discovered by the public, am not saying that they are not true to an extent, but what is false about all these and that the community of bitcoin users must distance from is the claim that support the guy being Satoshi, which is never true and you cant believe that someone like Satoshi will be having enough time to be messing around the public interest and his own integrity when he should be more involved with doing more research about his achievement already in place and his anonymity as well.

The supposed document containing that text was proved to be fake a few days back, but what shocked me was how some people were so quick to make articles about the link between Jeffrey and BTC. We are in an era where fake news spreads way quicker than authentic news. People are in a rush to get many views and a lot of engagement thanks to the monetization policies of social media these days.

Fake news travel faster than light. It’s all copy and paste, no verification. I’m not surprised that the media is using the Epstein files to spread lies about bitcoin. Mainstream media has always had an agenda against bitcoin and privacy coins, however I’m shocked at how much engagement they are getting from the public on the issue.

Everything about Epstein related to bitcoin is mostly fake and not supported by reliable evidence. Although there are times when he discusses Bitcoin, it is aimed at the core developers he is interested in connecting with, and is not an indication of his deep involvement in the Bitcoin project. So anything that tries to link Epstein and bitcoin is mostly just an attempt to frame bitcoin and make people believe that Epstein is the person behind bitcoin. Even though basically it is just a false narrative.

I saw the email that said this. I saw many emails on the internet shared by crypto influencers and some are even saying it is true. But 99% of them have used a title like "Epstein is the Satoshi?" They want to get more views and in that excitement, they don't know that they are contributing to the major FUD that is manipulating the minds of people. People have been using AI to create different kinds of images and videos to manipulate bitcoiners, even. Don't waste your time and energy on something that is only going to consume you and manipulate you. They released all this to manipulate our emotions, to divert our attentions to it.

Fake news and fake propaganda, people who are supposed to be educated comparing a statue that is believed to represent Satoshi and comparing the statue with Jeffery Epstein. Although it did not trend but there can be people who may have tried creating a propaganda using Sean Combs and Satoshi.

The Epstein files include the names of many people and various organizations. Even the names of those who never went to that Island or country are there. Basically, many things have been talked about at that time.  there is another thing to understand here. The presence of Bitcoin's name does not mean that Epstein created Bitcoin or that he already knew the story of creating Bitcoin. And most of the news that is circulating on social media about the Epstein files is false. Many people have shared many kinds of pictures, most of which have not related to with the Epstein files. So it is never appropriate to believe rumors.

I want to belive that there had not been any verified article that provided proves in conjuction with bitcoins organogram. Many of them we heard are always proven false because they can not realistically prove their claims. Have also come across multiple of discussions in the media including this forum that gives similar glances of bitcoin structures and how it had long been in process to build a financial inclusion network through the cryptography. They usually end the story that it was Satoshi who get the job all right and achievable. Satoshi had already stated the aspirations and efforts for developing bitcoin. Every other article aside the white paper is at the audiences risk to be mislead.

A lot of emails are edited and fake and yet reel creators are making videos, and adding shots of emails, and give a vibe that it is all a big conspiracy theory or something and conspiracy lover are spending most of their time on this. Before they were after that Penguin haha, anyway it is necessary to spread awareness in the fud because people are panicking and selling their bitcoins in dip. Idiots.

Obviously satoshi wasn't Jeffrey Epstein.  However, one could make the argument that Jeffrey Epstein compromised Blockstream and took control of the Bitcoin Core developers, forcing them to cripple Bitcoin's throughput and launch a dead on arrival patented payments technology (the Lightning Network) that nobody wanted. I don't think it is appropriate to call Bitcoin the pedo network, but I could comprehend the thinking of how some could refer to the Lightning Network as such.

It is obvious that even the Epstein file was a legit to start with. Non of the files was proved true. But it is unfortunate that ignorance had made many believed it. As a matter of fact, there had also been research and analytical documentaries overweight proving the epstein. You don't have to be shocked. You can expect more people getting deceived over the media. Most of victims are usually due to being too reliable on one source of information and no proper research before they take their stance.

You could also make the argument that the tooth fairy is real, but without evidence it’s all just people making things up to reinforce their biases. It’s such a massive leap of logic to get from 'Epstein was an early Blockstream investor' to 'he controls developers and forced them to launch Lightning'. I seriously don’t understand how someone could arrive at such a conclusion. If he really was powerful enough to force developers to do anything, that means he effectively had control over Bitcoin as a whole, which is obviously a delusional fantasy.
