Did Jeffrey Epstein secretly hijack Bitcoin during the block size war? Was is all a covert operation by Jeffrey Epstein and shadowy government actors to permanently handicap Bitcoin?

The big blockers want you to think so. In this Take, I tear apart the narrative piece by piece - following the money, reading the emails, and exposing why this conspiracy exists in the first place, and what it says about the people still pushing it.

Joy Ito's article on the block size debate is still up and worth reading if you want his actual stated position (Link: https://joi.ito.com/weblog/2016/02/22/my-view-on-the-.html)
The DOJ Epstein email dump is publicly available if you want to dig through it yourself - fair warning, it's a lot. (Link: https://jmail.world/)
The full video version of this breakdown will be shared shortly on my YouTube. I combined all seven parts into one, so it's way easier to watch straight through.
