This will be known today as the 2026 'Epstein Crash'. FTX Deja Vu

[ContentWriter]

I don't know why anyone should be bothered that the price of Bitcoin is falling. To anyone who has followed BTC for some time. This is actually good news whether you've invested heavily in Bitcoin like Saylor or still hoping to invest. Those whose funds are already in Bitcoin should know that hodling is a long-term strategy, and in the long-term, Bitcoin is known to surge in price after every correction.

For those yet to invest substantial amounts in Bitcoin, price dips such as this current dip provides a rare opportunity to buy because we know that investors who buy Bitcoin dips always make gains.

Well they make a big fuzz of out that supposedly donation that Epstein gave in 2014. And it's true he as a financier so what gives?

It's obvious that this is a clear FUD. But the thing is that every cycle, we will hear this kind of news about Satoshi or some personality with regards to Bitcoin. It's who is going to be the next personality and how it will affect the price.

It doesn't matter though, after a couple of weeks, this news will die down. Sorry for those who sold or who are affected by this FUD. At least they learn their lessons, albeit it might have cost them money.

On the other hand, a bit of news hype might actually do Bitcoin some good. Right now, as is typical after any major crash, people are simply losing interest. I read somewhere that Google search volume for "Bitcoin" has hit multi-year lows. In a market where attention is currency, any buzz is better than total silence.

Meanwhile, searches for "Einstein" surged fourfold. The irony is palpable—it’s staggering how many people are clueless enough to confuse a physics genius with... well, Epstein. My faith in humanity just took another hit today.

The large dump from the ATH is nothing to do with Epstein imo. It is largely to do with price suppression by institutions and CZ with Binance wash trading on their customers. We need The Clarity Act to pass in the US to create struct rules so markets can’t be manipulated by people like CZ.

They read a lot of fictitious stories that's why they believe that Epstein issue has something to do with this current dump happening on Bitcoin. While the fact is the reason why is mixed with macroeconomic factor and wide spread of negative sentiments happening on market nowadays.

The Clarity act would really help in this case since it can possibly reduce those manipulations actions done by CZ or any other institutions that want to move the market. Although this bill will not totally eliminate all manipulative acts done by this people, but at least for sure this is helpful to reduce those kind of attempts.

The Epstein FUD was the tip of the iceberg. There's not enough liquidity on the crypto markets. There are no bullish news. The overall sentiment is bearish. Nobody knows what is going to happen next week, since all the geopolitical tension creates uncertainty. The "AI bubble" concerns are adding tension on the financial markets as well. I totally do not believe that lots of BTC investors have seen the Epstein files and suddenly decided to sell just because Epstein "liked" Bitcoin. Youtube was full of "doom and gloom" about "This crash is going to be different" including all the well known FUD, that has been repeated in the last 10 years. Maybe some experts are right and 70K is the bottom for BTC, but who knows.

Hi,

I am seeing strong hands btc hodlers selling their bitcoins today all because they believe some bs on social media that Jeffrey Epstein was satoshi nakamoto. It is hilarious and is tanking the btc price as we speak. Even on social media theres more bs of epstein met Putin.

Which banker thought of this hilarious FUD to try tank the btc price to scoop more cheap bitcoins?

What bs story they will come up next, bitcoin made epstein a billionaire  ?

Seriously the Op return wars resulting later this year September soft fork wars or the Quantum threat are more genuine FUD than this Epstein clown show. Even FTX collapse was genuine not bs.

It is amazing that a dead man can have affects on the market.

Or is this a coordinated attack from the left to make trump lose the mid term elections if he doesn't follow his orders of Invading Iran and also take bitcoin down with him?

 

its a joke for us normal working people that rich people are allowed to effect the price of btc. yea maybe it did make epstein a billionaire but it many many rich people richer that have also done these despicable things. it not such much tho a dead man is effecting the market is the fact that it was so many political people involved and the measures they took to get away with it while still being able to have these high profile roles within society. trump is a strong individual and does not threaten easy by these types of situations but remember the decisions trump makes also effect the price of btc

CZ is just a servant of much bigger players, and they clearly don't want that act to be passed. If we know who gave him the pardon, and if we know that after that some strange things started happening regarding his CEX - cryptocurrencies connected to the president and his family, then it is clear why the act did not pass. When we add to that that the main reason was that the CEO of the largest CEX in the US (BA) was against it, then things become even clearer.
