⚠️ Was Bitcoin Core infiltrated by Israel?⚠️
We know from the DOJ emails that Epstein “represented the Rothchilds”. Israel also receives operational support from certain members of the Jewish diaspora, (“Sayanim”).
Now look at the influencers opposing BIP-110 to protect Core’s monopoly:
- Adam Back (CEO Blockstream): According to Epstein emails, took money from Epstein & visited his island
- Most Blockstream current and ex-employees (Matt Corrallo, Greg Maxwell, Byron Hambly, Fernando Nikolic etc): Company funded by Epstein, with several credible ponzi allegations
- Michael Saylor (MSTR): Is “one of us” according to the Epstein emails.
- Chaincode (Alex Morcos & Suhas Daftuar): Met with Epstein according to emails. Funds Bitcoin Core
- Starkware (Eli Ben Sasson), funds Core via HRF and OpenSats: Israeli
- Casey Rodarmor (Ordinals creator):Jewish.
- Peter Todd (Libre Relay, Coinkite Advisor): Zionist
- Bryan Bishop, (Core moderator): Pitched designer baby company to Epstein
- Udi Wertheimer: Israeli, ties to IDF
- NVK/Rodolfo Novak (Coinkite): Jewish.
- Dan Held: Jewish
- Jonathan Bier (Brink which funds Core, BitMex Research, Farside): Presumed Jewish
- BTC conference: Brandon (@BranBTC), and Craig from Programing (@Bitcoin_phan): Jewish
- Nakamoto: CIO Tyler Evans and CEO David Bailey, potentially Jewish (unconfirmed)
- Mr. Hodl: Israeli accent, likely intelligence
- Scott Melker (Wolf of all Streets): Jewish
- Citrea: Investment by Peter Thiel, close Epstein associate
- Tone Vays: Jewish
- Shaquille O’Atmeal: Jewish
- Apex B (@malandrox7): Jewish
- OpNet founders (Spam company): Israeli
- Isabel Foxen Duke: Israeli
- Jameson Lopp (Core, Casa): In 2023, Casa started accepting ETH and the Casa logo rebranded and now resembles a known FBI pedo symbol. Hopefully a coincidence?
- Rearden: Jewish
- Mars Spits Barz: Jewish
- Fundamentals21m: Jewish
- Ghost_AwyeeDeaterBob: Jewish
- Vic (@vicariousdrama): Israeli
- TeddyBitcoins: Jewish
- Ben Kaufman (Specter wallet): Israeli
- Richard Greaser (Bitcoin Bugle): Jewish
- Jeremy Poley (21 media): Jewish
- Liran Cohen: Jewish
- Coinicarus: Jewish
- Pierre Rochard: Jewish family
- Jimmy CTV (@bunkfreamon): Jewish
- Too many more to list
Many other anti BIP-110 supporters are sponsored by either Blockstream or the BTC Conference and therefore similarly incentivized to protect Core influence: Walker, JP_Technology, Joe Nakamoto, etc.
Notes:
- Analysis based on publicly available information, and is open to corrections.
- Findings include extreme overrepresentation of Jewish influencers in BTC.
- A handful of Jewish critics of Core were identified, but ratio is highly abnormal, at around 20:1 favoring Core.

What if… the Coldcard bug was a back door purposefully deployed by a nation state, aiming to activate it at the right time and confiscate tons of BTC.
And then a random guy with a cheap AI subscription found it and exploited it prematurely?

Do you have BTC on Liquid? How much do you trust Blockstream not to rug you?
LBTC on the Liquid Network is NOT BTC. It's a IOU handed to you by Blockstream and federation members, while they keep your BTC.
With allegations of Blockstream running a mining ponzi, we need to dig deeper:
While the Liquid ecosystem is comprised of 80+ companies, the BTC backing LBTC sits in 11-of-15 multisig wallets held by only 15 Liquid Federation “functionaries”.
You need 11 of these 15 functionaries to sign off so you can withdraw your BTC.
So who are these functionaries?
We don’t know, they’ve never been disclosed.
All we know is they’re a subset of the 80+ Liquid federation member companies.
This is a problem because ~20 of those companies are intimately interconnected to Blockstream and their funding partners.
We need to investigate them.
Some are Blockstream, their subsidiaries, or share board members: Komainu, Crypto Garage, JAN3, Pixelmatic, Wiz.
Many are investors in Blockstream: Tether’s BitFinex, Fulgur & DCG.
Several are funded by the same capital as Blockstream: STOKR, OpenNode, CoinShares, Breez, etc.
At least 20 of the ~80 companies have deep overlapping ties to Blockstream through C-suite relationships, board representation, JVs, or mutual major investors.
On an 11/15 multisig, you would only need to effect control on 5 companies to be able to veto any BTC unlock from LBTC.
Blockstream, through its close network, very likely can veto BTC releases by enforcing its own key and 4 other close relationships.
Also, if the federation simply stops processing BTC peg-outs, the fallback is emergency keys held by Blockstream itself, that unlock after 28 days.
In conclusion, Liquid revolves around the Blockstream ecosystem and if you have any permissioned LBTC, your BTC could be frozen at will.
In light of Blockstream’s mining ponzi allegations, are you sure your BTC is still there?
Maybe you should withdraw while you still can.

Is he? Did he ever talk about his ancestry?

I agree.
I’m reasonably sure Adam Back has been compromised, since not only did he take money from Epstein (which he handwaived away), but according to the DOJ emails, he went to Epstein Island as well.

Yeah, all my posts on X are gone. I was “unpersoned”.

Below is my banned X post but now in Nostr-friendly format:
Did you know that MSTR’s software business has a “shadow” board employing CIA and Homeland Security Veterans?
And that its affiliate company Microstrategy Government Services (created after starting the BTC strategy) provides no info on its intelligence clients and revenues?
Let’s dig in.
Strategy does classified work and must submit to rules set by an agency under the Department of Defense - the Defense Counterintelligence & Security Agency.
Strategy’s affiliate Microstrategy Government Services (MGS) is governed by a Security Agreement whereby Strategy surrenders governance and operational control of MGS to an outside board. Revenues of MGS flow up to the parent company, but MSTR’s financial statements provide no breakdown of government clients and their revenues, and classified contracts are handled by the proxy board.
So who really runs MGS? The answer is Defense veterans.
Rick "Ozzie" Nelson is an EVP at Strategy. He is a CSIS senior associate of Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, and has testified before the House Committee on Homeland Security.
In 2022 he announced the engagement of two board members for MGS, (which had been incorporated in 2021 shortly after Strategy’s adoption of the BTC strategy), Karen Schaefer and Tom Atkin:
Karen Schaefer is a CIA veteran of 26 years, who was chief of operations, deputy chief of counterintelligence, and managed covert action programs at the National Security Council (NSC).
Is all that expertise needed for MSTR to sell only an estimated $50M in annual software revenues to the US Government? Why isn’t the overqualified Karen Schaefer employed at a top military contractor such as Raytheon or Lockheed instead?
MSTR also engaged Tom Atkin for the same board. Tom has over 36 years of government experience and was Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security.
Contrary to how Strategy’s “legacy” business has been presented to retail investors, Strategy has deep ties to US intelligence, to which they sell software via a company controlled by intelligence veterans.
Strategy’s government products can be seen as a back-looking Palantir, tools built to summarize, report, and analyze what already happened, instead of predicting the future.
Was MSTR, a company authorized to access classified defense info, chosen to become a vehicle for holding BTC for the US in a plausible deniable manner?

I just got suspended on X likely for pointing out MSTR’s ties to US intelligence.
MSTR has a “shadow” board comprised of CIA and Homeland Security veterans, and has access to classified information via its affiliate MGS (Government Services). Rick “Ozzie” Nelson, a homeland security veteran who is an EVP at MSTR, hired for the MGS board Karen Schaefer, a 26 year CIA veteran.

I suspect MSTR is the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
