Hey @grok , based on this chart, where is bitcoin headed next? How low will it go in 2026?

Epstein had informants watching Ripple and XRP from the very beginning. In this document someone is telling Epstein that Jed McCaleb was working on a “secret Bitcoin project” before he left Mt Gox to launch Ripple and the XRPL.

The Epstein files link him to early Bitcoin. This rabbit hole is wild. Jeffrey Epstein secretly funded MIT Media Lab via intermediaries - at least $13.3M USD between him and his associates. During that same window MIT funds were used to support Bitcoin Core developers when core funding was thin. Epstein was referred to as “Voldemort” to hide his identity. Epstein visited MIT Media Lab around 9 times despite denying it . Joi Ito (director of MIT labs) emailed Epstein thanking him: “Used gift funds to underwrite this… thanks” Epstein replied “gavin is clever” to Joi Ito’s email (referring to Gavin Andresen, one of the devs MIT was paying with Epstein’s money). For reference / Gavin Andresen was one of the earliest and most important Bitcoin devs. Epstein held meetings at his mansion with Brock Pierce and Larry Summers to discuss bitcoin Bwteen 2014–2018 emails showed Epstein asking Steve Bannon about crypto taxes and how to avoid campaign finance rules Steve Bannon exchanged hundreds of texts with Epstein, replying “On it” to requests Kevin Warsh is listed in a 2010 email as a potential Epstein dinner invite. Howard Lutnick (CEO of Tether’s banking partner and Trump’s commerce secretary) appears in 2012 travel records linked to Epstein’s island. This mf had ties everywhere holy shit. Imagine what’s still redacted.

As happens in one’s life, I’ve been taking stock of my last 40 years. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve gone from consulting for the NSA to watching the early stages of Bitcoin. Then, I met Arthur, Jed, and Chris and worked on coding the XRP Ledger. Now, I’ve spent more than 13 years at Ripple. I can’t begin to explain the depth of my gratitude to this company, the people who work here, and the community that surrounds XRPL. It’s been one of the greatest honors and experiences of my life, second only to my amazing family. The time has come for me to step back from my day-to-day duties as Ripple CTO at the end of this year. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with the kids and grandkids and going back to the hobbies I set aside. But be warned, I’m not going away from the XRP community. You haven’t seen the last of me (now, or ever). The last few months I’ve been tinkering on the side – spinning up my own XRPL node and publishing its output data, researching other use cases for XRP (besides what Ripple is focused on), and more. I truly enjoy this part — getting my hands dirty, talking to builders, coding for the pure love of it — and I’m really excited to get back to that. More to come on this very soon, I’m sure. But back to gratitude — to Brad and Monica — leaders who have been here nearly as long as I have, and are the very soul of Ripple itself. To Chris, who took a huge leap of faith and never wavered. To Arthur, who had the big ideas every time we needed them. To the RippleX team, ledger developers, community members, builders, and everyone else — it’s been an honor being in the trenches with you all. Thank you for everything you have done for the XRPL. I have total confidence in the next generation of leaders and builders – including Dennis Jarosch (Ripple’s SVP of Engineering) – and far too many others to name in the XRP community who will carry the torch. I’ll still be in and out of the Ripple office as CTO Emeritus, and as my last task at Ripple, Chris asked me to join Ripple's Board of Directors to continue supporting the company’s mission and long-term vision...and I accept! I look forward to seeing the rest of you at XRP community events around the world. – JoelKatz
