As Bitcoin prints its fourth consecutive red monthly candle, newly resurfaced emails reveal discussions of "anti-Bitcoin pressure" involving Jeffrey Epstein and elite power brokers — raising serious questions about coordinated efforts to suppress BTC during its early years.

Yet amid the panic, Michael Saylor's Strategy continues stacking Bitcoin, deploying $75.3M as BTC briefly dips below $75K. In today's episode, we connect the dots between Epstein, elite influence networks, market manipulation narratives, institutional flows, and Bitcoin's long-term resilience — and explain why these revelations matter more now than ever.
