February 3rd. Su Zhu, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, posted, stating that the exit of Bitcoin OGs (veteran investors) from the market is not as pessimistic as it sounds. In fact, since the early days of development, OGs have always been exiting. Each token distribution has strengthened Bitcoin's long-term health and monetary value.If Bitcoin relied on individual purchases or holdings, it would have died long ago. Saylor of MicroStrategy is the same; he is just an avatar, and the true bearers of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin risk exposure are actually MSTR investors.It is worth noting that Su Zhu has remained silent since the end of September last year, became active again at the end of January this year, and even made comments yesterday on the Etherscan and 1011 insider whale investment ETH loss event, stating, "They were overconfident after clearing the top and re-entered the market too early, resulting in investment losses."

February 3rd, according to the latest public information, as early as 2011, Epstein had begun to show interest in Bitcoin. In an email on June 12, 2011, Epstein stated, "Bitcoin is a brilliant idea, but it also has some serious flaws."In 2013, Epstein also discussed Bitcoin with Bill Gates' former Chief Technology Officer Boris Nikolic and Steven Sinofsky, a16z board partner and former President of the Microsoft Windows Division. Even in 2014, Epstein had in-depth discussions on the nature of Bitcoin with PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. In the email, Epstein said, "There is no consensus on what Bitcoin is, whether it is a store of value, currency, or property... It's like a man dressing up as a woman, or property pretending to be currency."Furthermore, in 2016, Epstein mentioned in an email to Raafat AlSabbagh, an advisor to the Saudi royal court, and Aziza Al Ahmadi, current advisor to the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism, "I have talked to some Bitcoin creators, and they are very excited."It is worth noting that documents released last December showed that Epstein's $850,000 donation to MIT indirectly supported a digital currency initiative that employed Bitcoin Core developers such as Gavin Andresen and Wladimir van der Laan when the Bitcoin Foundation collapsed in 2015.
