Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel influenced Bitcoin over the course of years, including the block size debates. There is even a back and forth between him and Adam Back. He was funding Bitcoin development, but I suspect not for good. There is even a 2010 thread between Epstein's publicist and Michael saylor where she comes to the conclusion that she could not compromise Saylor. I read the block size wars, and now it's sort of makes sense that it was an ugly compromise. Because if they didn't compromise on larger 2MB blocks, then the big blockers would have wanted 4 MB, 8 MB, 16MB, etc.... 🤯
These Epstein files are nuts, but they'll trickle out just like the JFK files
