In this video, I discuss whether or not Jeffrey Epstein, Blockstream, or the Bitcoin Core devs hijacked Bitcoin.
I conclude that they did not in 2015-2017, but that there may be Epstein-related forces that may have been attempting to hijack Bitcoin since 2023, by slowly making it more amenable to spam and non-monetary data.
In the process, I discuss throughput, block space, block time, and other technical specs for Bitcoin.
