With crypto, you don't have it fully controlled by the government on a controlled infrastructure,
and the government decides who has access.

 I'm not sure that's true.  There is crypto that can be accessed with high levels of anonymity.  Also it's globally spread among users so it would very difficult for any one government to restrict access planet wide.            

and a well-informed public.

Well, we're screwed
When almost half will argue that a man can get pregnant, we're pretty screwed

If you look at the situation in the world, you see not only our well-thought-out democracy faltering, we are not faltering but also that we are bombing a centuries-old traditional country like Iran, because they’re funding terrorist that we are exterminating the Palestinians. The only ones exterminating Palestinians are other Palestinians. That is truly a sign of enormous decline.

I've delved deeper into the Epstein case than I have in other topics here on the site. And I can say with certainty that Epstein's girlfriend has talked about "thousands of videos."
Trump's role in this story isn't clear, but such a long friendship, well, it doesn't look good.

I've also seen clear indications of connections between Epstein and the intelligence agencies.

Epstein no longer needs a lawyer, and I don't trust any lawyer when it comes to factual matters. They tell a legally responsible truth.

The Epstein case must be hushed up, and it will remain so.
And it's very possible that Trump or the intelligence agencies are working hard on it behind the scenes.I don't know exactly for what reason.

The sudden change speaks volumes to me.

The United States Attorney could also say, "We're opening a case against everyone who was on the island or the plane." Because that would be a much more neutral and clear stance from an organization that aims to punish crimes and maintain the rule of law.
Especially when they are high-ranking people. But I am well aware of how the world works.

I am also aware of how universities lay the foundation for good old boys' networks.

In other words, I am not impressed by the story of Professor Emeritus.

"Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything."
"Donald: Yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is."
"Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is."
"Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."
"Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it."
"Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?"
"Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you."
“Donald: A pal is a wonderful thing — Happy Birthday and may everyday be another wonderful secret.”
Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was born on January 20, 1953.
On January 20, 2003, he turned 50.
On the occasion of his half-century birthday, his accomplice in pedophilia, Ghislaine Maxwell, solicited birthday cards and letters from his closest friends, compiled them into a leather-bound album, and presented it to Epstein.
At the time, Donald Trump was Epstein’s best friend.
The above exchange between “Donald and Jeffrey” is part of the birthday letter Trump wrote to Epstein for Maxwell’s leather-bound birthday album.  
New York Magazine published an article on October 28, 2002 (just three months prior to Epstein’s 50th birthday) entitled "Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery."
In that article Trump said: “I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
New York Magazine kept the tape of their telephone interview with Trump.
Trump had bought Mar-a-Lago in 1985. A mile away down South Ocean Boulevard sat Epstein’s mansion that he bought in 1990.
The two men met at a Mar-a-Lago party in the late Eighties and were friends until they had a falling out in 2004 over a bidding war for Maison de L'Amitié, a Palm Beach estate that was in bankruptcy.  
The leather-bound compilation of birthday letters also contains a letter from Alan Dershowitz, one of the attorneys who represented Epstein in the 2008 sweetheart deal that followed Epstein being arrested on child sex charges in 2005.
Prior to publishing the story about the leather-bound birthday album last night, the Wall Street Journal contacted Dershowitz for comment.
Dershowitz did not deny writing the letter attributed to him. He simply said he didn’t remember the content of a letter written so long ago.
The Wall Street Journal also contacted the Justice Department and asked if the birthday album was part of the Epstein files they had recently reviewed.
The Justice Department refused to comment.
The FBI was asked the same question by the Wall Street Journal.
The FBI declined to comment.
Feeling the pressure, Trump — at 9:00 pm last night — asked AG Pam Bondi to release select portions of the grand jury testimony from the 2019 Epstein case, with the court’s consent. This is a farce, and he knows it. There are federal rules that prohibit the release of grand jury testimony — Trump is trying to make it appear that he wants to release information, but it is only carefully picked information and he knows the court will never allow it anyway.
If Trump didn’t participate in pedophilia with Epstein and Maxwell back before 2004, then he has nothing to hide — he should release the files.

So, all of you MAGA cult members, Do you really think Epstein killed himself over a hoax?

 No they think Epstein is alive and a secret DNA-matching body double was made and murdered, but they did the ears wrong.
