#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Epstein's Arrest Shook The Blockchain

Jeffrey Epstein's arrest seems to have set off a wave of suspicious crypto payments that have heretofore gone unexamined.

1. The 2nd highest volume day in bitcoin history came a week after Epstein died.

2. #Stablecoin transfer volumes doubled less than 48 hours after Epstein was arrested. In particular #Tether, the stablecoin whose money is managed by Epstein's next door neighbor and #Trump's current Secretary of Commerce, saw on chain volumes skyrocket.

Also there's the matter of a bunch of suspicious deaths among Epstein's crypto circle.

Donald Trump is making out like a bandit through crypto scams, and some people see it as an easy way to buy influence.

On Tech Won’t Save Us, I spoke with Jacob Silverman to discuss how Trump is deregulating crypto and the continued tech-MAGA alliance.

3/ btw if anyone is curious why i’m asserting that brock pierce, autumn radtke, and isabel maxwell were friends / already part of the same social group before Epstein invited Brock to speak at his conference and then Autumn "fell" out of that 25th story window, this is why:

#BrockPierce#Tether#AutumnRadtke#IsabelMaxwell#GhislaineMaxwell#RobertMaxwell #epstein #epsteincoverup #epsteinfiles #uspol #crypto #bitcoin #crime

2/ neither CNBC nor WSJ ran with a headline that even sort of implies Autumn Radtke committed suicide, instead using adjectives like "mysterious" and “unexplained” to describe her defenestration from a Singaporean high rise and subsequent demise.

one of the last people to see #AutumnRadtke alive was Steve Beauregard, chief executive and founder (with #BrockPierce) of #Singapore based GoCoin.

when i wrote my piece on Epstein's #crypto connections I forgot that #IsabelMaxwell (#Ghislaine's sister) was connected to #BrockPierce even before she invited Pierce to speak at epstein's #Mindshift conference.

Brock Pierce is a big nexus of connection from #Epstein to things like crypto and confirmed pedophile rings (other than his own).

both Maxwell & Pierce were socially close to a crypto broette named #AutumnRadke who died under extremely mysterious circumstances back in 2014. most people think she "fell out of a window", putin style.

I Live 500 Feet From A Bitcoin Mine. My Life Is Hell.

We went to a small Texas town where one Bitcoin mining facility uses as much power as the entire city of Austin.
Everyone is town is affected by the constant noise from the crypto facility, even the animals.
One resident told us: "Every person here is sick.”

the former head of research at #coindesk - someone who spent most of a decade deep inside the crypto industry as a true believer - has written a long form piece titled "Money By Vile Means" about how the crypto industry has become something deeply evil, fucked up, and wholly dependent on the government systems it once sought to disrupt.

"From libertarian ideal to cynical state capture, I debunk the myths of #Bitcoin and reveal its dark reality."

@zkat As a privacy tool can't it be used for good? like here and countless other cases monero could be used to defy oppressors that want to control what we buy or who we associate with. Investing in crypto and using crypto to buy things are two different things I would never treat crypto as an investment bc the ppl who lose most from that are the most desparate and vulnerable; ofc theres pointless projects tied 2 new coins that exist just 2 pump & dump scam ppl but thats not this.
@zkat also the mining algorithm for #monero (XMR) isn't easily parallelizable so its not profitable to buy up data centres worth of gpus to mine it. The mining process focuses on single cpu cores, also the coins have fungibility meaning that theres no such thing as dirty money like there is with #bitcoin every xmr coin is identical with no history

If people want to do something about the itch.io thing, a number of us engineers, artists, and community members are gathering together to plan for and build a real alternative that's genuinely resistant to this kind of censorship in a way centralized platforms with singular payment processor relationships simply can't be

Join us! We need all the help we can get.

@zkat U could create a system 2 make it easier 4 creators 2 accept #Monero (XMR) a truly private cryptocurrency, #bitcoin & #ethereum r talked about by the media as if theyre private but theyre actually pseudonymous, if u have the persons address u have their entire transaction history, but not with monero. Using it there would be no higher authority (except the state) that could enforce regulations on ur sales, & even then it would have to b serious surveillance bc the network itself is opaque

>'President on brink of bailout for bitcoin'

The title is pure clickbait. It seems to be based on a single Coinbase article, where the title also doesn't match the content. No one actually asked for intervention, it was just a report on market conditions.

Let's take a moment to understand what happened here:

- Molly White didn't read the Coinbase article past the title.
- Cory Doctorow didn't read Molly White's article past the title.

...and that resulted in a hot take about "libertarians" and #Bitcoin.

Fascinating.

"Bitcoin Core development and transaction relay policy"
https://bitcoincore.org/en/2025/06/06/relay-statement/

I don't necessarily disagree, but I feel that this long argument deliberately omits to mention the context which motivated this decision.

Has the #Bitcoin network been experiencing a flood of transactions which (ab)use the blockchain as an immutable storage system for messages and data?

And if so, why wouldn't they rather do it with #Ethereum, which has lower per-byte fees and also lets them run small programs?

whenever the price of #bitcoin starts to drop because of global instability (or any other reason) “investors” immediately decide to send billions of dollars to #Tether, a financial company that more or less openly works with #Iran, has almost no employees, has been linked to hundreds of financial crimes, and has never produced an audit to prove it actually has all the money it says it does to back its #stablecoin#USDT. it's like clockwork.

today’s crash saw an immediate creation of $2 billion USDT, 100% of it on Donald Trump’s new business partner Justin Sun’s blockchain Tron (AKA “the crime chain”).
