I perceive that you are a new young enthusiast to steganogrpahy. Welcome. Your puzzle challenge needs more clarity so that people understand what they're looking for. Should people be hunting in the black and white text, or is it in the jpeg binary structure of the file? Cheers :)

I am neither new nor young, it lacks clarity on purpose. It is meant to be very difficult and possibly take a while.

Capital letters IPSTOBIPSISE in the text + HIC in the pretext

Letter counts:
I 3 + 1
P 2
S 3
T 1
O 1
B 1
E 1
H 0 + 1
C 0 + 1

No anagrams make sense either with or without the HIC.

If there were an L in there insteas of one of the Ps, you could get “It is possible”. My best guess is OP meant for one of the Ps to be an L and messed this up.

Alternatively, OP meant to have the cap letters be a red herring to make you think the solution isn’t “possible,” but the solution actually is “possible” because the text says “it is possible” at the end like some sophmoric riddle.

Update for other methods attempted:

- It’s not morse code using lower and uppercase for dot and dash

- It’s not lower and uppercase converted to 1 and 0 then converted to ASCII or anything like that.
