🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Ghislaine Maxwell is expected to testify before the U.S. Congress on Monday. And if this really happens in public, it could shake far more than just old court files. For years, her name has been tied to powerful rooms, private flights, quiet deals, and people who rarely face questions. Presidents, billionaires, celebrities, royalty — the kind of figures who move through life protected by silence. Maxwell was in those circles. She saw who showed up, who stayed close, and who knew more than they ever admitted. That’s why this moment matters. Testifying under oath isn’t the same as court whispers or leaked documents. It means direct questions. It means names, timelines, relationships. It means moments that were buried suddenly being dragged into daylight. And daylight is uncomfortable when you’ve spent decades hiding in the dark. A lot of powerful people are probably nervous right now. Not because of rumors — but because one person knows how the puzzle really fits together. If this testimony is real, open, and uncensored, it won’t just revisit the past. It could expose how deep protection networks run, how silence is enforced, and how long the truth can be delayed when influence is involved. Monday might not bring justice. But it could bring something just as dangerous to the elite: memory. #Epstein #GhislaineMaxwell #CongressTestimony #BreakingNews #FINKY

Ghislaine Maxwell is expected to testify before the U.S. Congress on Monday. And if this really happens in public, it could shake far more than just old court files.

Testifying under oath isn’t the same as court whispers or leaked documents. It means direct questions. It means names, timelines, relationships. It means moments that were buried suddenly being dragged into daylight. And daylight is uncomfortable when you’ve spent decades hiding in the dark.

A lot of powerful people are probably nervous right now. Not because of rumors — but because one person knows how the puzzle really fits together.

If this testimony is real, open, and uncensored, it won’t just revisit the past. It could expose how deep protection networks run, how silence is enforced, and how long the truth can be delayed when influence is involved.

Monday might not bring justice.
But it could bring something just as dangerous to the elite: memory.

Hey guys, let me explain this whole Epstein-Bitcoin thing in very easy words: Some new papers came out in February 2026 about Jeffrey Epstein. In those papers we see he gave money to MIT university (around $850,000 between 2002–2017). Part of that money (about $525,000) went to something called Digital Currency Initiative at MIT. Around 2015, that MIT group used some of the money to pay a few Bitcoin programmers (like the people who fix and improve Bitcoin’s code). This happened because the old Bitcoin Foundation ran out of money, so MIT helped keep the coders working. Epstein also put small money in two companies: - About $3 million in Coinbase (very early, tiny percentage) - About $500,000 in Blockstream (also small and early) Now the big question everyone is asking: “Does this mean Epstein created Bitcoin or he is Satoshi Nakamoto?” Answer: No. That’s not true. Why? - Bitcoin whitepaper (the first idea paper) came in October 2008. - First Bitcoin block (genesis block) was made in January 2009. - At that exact time Epstein was already in jail (he got arrested and convicted in 2008). So timeline doesn’t match at all. He was in prison when Bitcoin started. Plus those “Satoshi emails” people are sharing online? They are fake people checked and proved they were changed/edited. Dan Peña (that loud business guy) keeps saying for years: “If we find out who Satoshi really is, Bitcoin price will go to zero.” But nothing like that happened. Bitcoin is still around $71,000 right now even after these papers came out. Epstein gave money to some crypto projects many years after Bitcoin was born. He had small investments in some companies. But he did not create Bitcoin. Bitcoin is still open for everyone, no single person controls it. It’s just a mix of real small connections + lots of crazy internet stories and memes. Hope this makes it clear! 😄 Any part still confusing?$BTC $BNB $SOL #Bitcoin #EpsteinFiles #SatoshiNakamoto #BitcoinNews #Epstein

🕵️‍♂️ Epstein Case & Markets: The Hidden Risk Factor 📉The Jeffrey Epstein case remains one of the most controversial stories of modern times, not just for its political and social implications, but for what it reveals about power structures, hidden risk, and market psychology—all critical concepts for traders. Markets, like institutions, often operate on perception rather than truth. For years, Epstein’s connections were ignored or dismissed, much like how financial markets overlook systemic risks during bull runs. Traders see similar behavior when leverage builds quietly, valuations stretch, and warning signs are rationalized away—until a sudden event exposes the fragility underneath. The case also highlights information asymmetry. Those closest to power often know more than the public, just as insiders, smart money, and institutions move ahead of major market shifts while retail reacts later. When hidden information surfaces, volatility spikes—mirroring sharp sell-offs after scandals, regulatory actions, or black-swan events. For traders, the lesson is simple: price eventually reflects reality. Ignored risks don’t disappear; they compound. Whether in politics or markets, transparency matters, and blind trust in narratives can be costly. In trading, as in life, manage risk before the truth goes public. #Epstein

New Epstein Documents Show Convicted Sex Offender Tried to Influence Bitcoin's DirectionRecent revelations expose Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Bitcoin developers The newest release of Jeffrey Epstein documents has uncovered some surprising details about the convicted sex offender's involvement with key figures in Bitcoin's early development. Hidden among millions of newly released pages are emails, business arrangements, and conversations between Epstein and several Bitcoin developers that took place over nearly seven years. Epstein's interest in Bitcoin wasn't exactly a secret. Between 2002 and 2017, he gave MIT $850,000 in total. Of that amount, $525,000 went specifically to the MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency Initiative. When the Bitcoin Foundation went broke in 2015, some of Epstein's money ended up indirectly paying the salaries of Bitcoin Core developers who moved to the MIT Media Lab. Epstein stayed in regular touch with Joichi Ito, a Japanese entrepreneur who ran the MIT Media Lab from 2011 to 2019. Together, their financial support helped make MIT a major center for Bitcoin development work. When Bitcoin Core developers joined the MIT Media Lab, Ito wrote to Epstein: "This is a big win for us." The developers' names come up throughout the emails for different reasons. Just because someone's name appears in these documents doesn't automatically mean they did anything wrong. It's worth noting that all these interactions happened after Epstein's 2008 convictions in Florida for soliciting a prostitute and procuring a child for prostitution. When you look at all these communications together, they paint a picture of Epstein's obsession with Bitcoin and its developers. In many cases, the emails show he tried using his money, influence, and connections to shape the direction of what's now a $1.5 trillion blockchain. Jeremy Rubin Jeremy Rubin first shows up in the Epstein files in June 2014 when he was still an MIT student. Emails between Epstein and his personal assistant Lesley Groff show her trying to set up a phone call between the two. In December 2015, Rubin reached out to Epstein on his own. "I was wondering if you would be interested in financing my continued research in this space, or if there are any projects you'd want to push forward that I might play a role in," Rubin wrote. "I'd also love to learn more from you about how financial markets really work and build some of my own 'exploits' at some point." "Their deal is to pump the currency, it is dangerous." — Jeffrey Epstein Epstein replied with several options for how Rubin could receive funding. "One, you can merely work for me, salary. Two, start a company, hire others, I make an investment (more paperwork). Three, do research. Tax advantages but restricted. I can easily pay your tuition. Or some combo of the above," Epstein wrote. By 2018, their relationship seemed to have grown closer. Emails show they planned in-person meetings in June and made introductions for each other. That same year, Rubin also tried pitching Epstein on crypto investment opportunities, including a potential deal with Layer 1, a Bitcoin mining company. Epstein was skeptical. "Jeremy I am more than happy to fund things but as I am high profile, it can't be questionable ethics," he responded. "Their deal is to pump the currency, it is dangerous." Rubin has since publicly addressed his connection to Epstein. "I'm glad the emails are being released," he said on February 2, adding that he had "some professional engagement" with Epstein that was "never exclusive." "I hope the release of the emails brings us closer to justice for those harmed and a better understanding of the nature of corruption in our society," he said. Gavin Andresen, Wladimir van der Laan and Cory Fields These three Bitcoin Core developers joined MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency Initiative in 2015. Their names appear in an April 2015 email exchange between Ito, who was running the DCI at the time, and Epstein. Ito explained that Andresen, van der Laan, and Fields had been getting paid by the Bitcoin Foundation, a nonprofit that had just gone bankrupt weeks earlier. "The idea is great, the execution as you are now aware has some serious risks." — Jeffrey Epstein "Many organizations scrambled to step into the vacuum created by the foundation and 'take control' of the developers," Ito wrote. "We moved quickly talking to all of the various stakeholders and the three developers decided to join the Media Lab. This is a big win for us." Epstein had actually tried meeting with Andresen much earlier—back in 2011, just months after Andresen took over as lead maintainer of Bitcoin's code from Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's mysterious creator. "Gavin, I spoke with Jason Calacanis. I would like to speak with you. Call my office in NY. The idea is great, the execution as you are now aware has some serious risks," Epstein wrote to Andresen in June 2011. (Calacanis is a well-known US investor and co-host of The All-In Podcast.) "Jeffrey Epstein will be up at Harvard this Friday June 17th and Saturday June 18th. He would love to meet with you. Might you be around and have some available time?" one of Epstein's assistants asked Andresen a few days later. "No, sorry, I'm busy," Andresen replied. So far, there's no evidence that Wladimir van der Laan or Cory Fields had any direct communication with Epstein or his staff. Andresen has stayed out of the spotlight since he stopped working on Bitcoin in 2016. He hasn't publicly commented on his name appearing in the Epstein files and didn't respond to DL News' request for comment. Amir Taaki Amir Taaki is a significant Bitcoin Core contributor who was one of the first people to join the project after Satoshi Nakamoto left in 2010. "They are crazy open source folks who are radicals, their motivation is more in line with Wikileaks or Wikipedia." — Jason Calacanis Taaki's name first appears in the Epstein files, along with Gavin Andresen's, in a June 2011 email from Calacanis. "I would like to get in touch with the Bitcoin guys," Epstein wrote. "Will dig up their info," Calacanis responded. "So you know, these are folks who are not trying to build a business. They are crazy open source folks who are radicals, their motivation is more in line with Wikileaks or Wikipedia." In July 2011, Epstein emailed Taaki directly. "Amir, the Bitcoin idea is brilliant, but I suggest it has some serious downsides as I'm sure you are aware. If you can find time please call my NY office," he wrote. At that time, Taaki was running Bitcoin Consultancy with co-founder Donald Norman, a group focused on Bitcoin development, consulting, and promotion. In a July 7 email, Taaki suggested setting up a meeting between Epstein and Norman in New York. On February 2, Taaki responded to his name appearing in the Epstein files, saying that he and Norman decided to stop communicating with Epstein after Norman met him and researched the financier's background and the accusations against him. #Epstein #EpsteinBitcoin #BitcoinGoogleSearchesSurge $BTC

🚨 The Epstein Files: Unraveling the Dark Web of Power and Scandal 🚨

The name Jeffrey Epstein is synonymous with scandal, corruption, and high-profile criminal activity that shook the world. The infamous financier’s life was shrouded in mystery, and his death only deepened the conspiracy theories surrounding him. But what are the facts? Let’s break down the key elements of the Epstein Files and what we still don’t know:

💼 The Rise of Jeffrey Epstein
Epstein started as a teacher, but his connections with the wealthy and powerful allowed him to rapidly amass wealth. He claimed to be a financier, but his real activities remained elusive and questionable. His networks spanned the globe, from elite politicians to billionaires, making him a central figure in a web of power and influence.

⚖️ The Allegations and Crimes
Epstein’s legacy is forever stained by the abuse and exploitation of young women and minors. He was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors, and more victims have come forward in the years since. His high-profile connections, including those to Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, raised suspicions of a much larger network of exploitation, involving people in positions of power.

🔒 The Mysterious Death
Epstein’s death in custody under questionable circumstances in August 2019 raised more questions than answers. Officially, it was ruled a suicide, but doubts persist. The circumstances surrounding his death—such as missing security footage and broken surveillance cameras—have fueled conspiracy theories suggesting foul play.

📂 The Epstein Files

💲What Changed Around Bitcoin This Week ?
If you only looked at the candle, it feels sudden. $BTC under 60k again ( at this time at around$69K ) , fast, ugly, no time to breathe. But when you zoom out just a little, the move had been loading actually for past few weeks. 👀
💰 Money was already leaving.
Before price really broke, flows had turned. CoinShares data showed around $1.7B leaving crypto investment products in a single week. That is not noise though. That is real allocation being pulled back. Not all at once, not dramatically, just quietly stepping away. At the same time, US spot Bitcoin ETFs were bleeding on consecutive days. One day alone saw hundreds of millions flow out, with the biggest products leading it. When the steady bid disappears, price doesn't need bad news to fall.

Then leverage did what leverage always does.
As BTC slipped, long positions started closing automatically. Billions in liquidations followed. That's why the move felt so fast. It was not everyone deciding to sell. It was positions getting forced out.
Once that starts, price doesn't search for value, it searches for stops.
The overall environment did nott help $BTC and the crypto market either... ⚠️
The Fed held rates and didn’t offer any comfort about cuts. Liquidity expectations didn’t improve. At the same time, geopolitical tension came back into focus. Iran headlines, oil moving higher, broader markets turning cautious. Nothing explosive, but enough to flip the mood risk-off. When risk appetite fades, crypto doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt.
What made it worse was liquidity. Or the lack of it.
This part gets ignored, but it is also important enough. Order books were thinner than they looked. Reuters even pointed out that thin liquidity was amplifying moves. In that kind of market, you don’t need massive selling pressure. You just need sellers to show up when buyers hesitate. That’s exactly what happened. Bounces were weak. Follow-through was poor. Every small push down traveled further than expected.
People keep asking who sold. There are multiple culprits actually. 🫡
The boring answer is... not one villain. ETFs were net sellers. Some miners had already been selling into strength earlier this year. Institutions were reducing exposure across risk assets, not just crypto. And a lot of leverage traders simply didn’t get a choice once levels broke.
There are theories floating around too. Some talk about carry trades unwinding. Others mention structured products forcing hedging as price fell. Miners shifting focus toward AI data centers comes up a lot. Maybe parts of that are true. Maybe not. What’s clear is that no single story explains the entire move.
What does explain it is alignment.
Flows negative. Leverage stacked. Liquidity thin. Macro uncomfortable. When those line up, price doesn’t drift. It drops.
That doesn’t automatically mean the long-term story is broken. It does mean the market needed to reset positioning, and it chose the fastest way to do it. Below 60k was not just about fear. It was about space being created where bids had gone missing.
Now price is sitting in a different zone, with different players still standing.
And the question isn't no more, "is this the bottom'.
It is much simpler than that.
Who is actually willing to buy here... and who’s still just waiting?
What do you guys thinking about $BTC next major move? 🤔
