  $BTC Everyone is staring at the Fed, but the real support line is the ETF pipe staying open. Bitfinex is pointing at that $77,100 area because it was the level that framed the August break. Last week ETFs still pulled in net new cash even with a red day at the end. The other part is positioning stayed pretty controlled, so this is not a market that is forced to puke if rates get one more hawkish nudge. Also pay attention to who is holding it. Big wallets trimmed around 50,500 BTC since late June, and exchange plus ETF custody added about 59,100 BTC. That is supply moving into wrappers people hold longer, not coins getting prepped to swing trade. Rate fear can cap upside, but the bid is real if the ETF channel keeps absorbing dips. If that inflow slows, $77,100 stops being a line and turns into a trap door.

Snapshotting the original holders instead of starting a fresh cap table is the difference between “new project borrowing an old joke” and “same community, new chapter.” Where it stands right now: ➜ $3.9M market cap ➜ $569K liquidity ➜ Live on a USDT-powered L1 backed by Bitfinex and PayPal Ventures Stable is still early.

It’s trying to win on being unforgettable, and a meme that survives its own failed launch and still gets airdropped back to the exact people who believed in it the first time is hard to forget.

  Not Another Quant (@notanotherquant) reported 6 minutes ago

  Is there any hope for the bitcoin:native bears? It may take a special event to do it. The Bull Market Support Band (BMSB 20W MA/21W EMA) acts as support during the bull and resistance during the bear. Currently Bitcoin has pushed up and closed above the BMSB. If a quick reversal isn't found the trend will shift into a bull. In a bull trend, the times it has been knocked below the BMSB have been due to a catalyst. In 2015 it was Bitfinex liquidations similar to October 10, 2025. In 2019 the Repo crisis made it oscillate around the band and it took the 2020 pandemic to dump us lower. In 2023 it was the banking crisis and Bitcoin wicked below the band to ~20k, but the chance only lasted days. Each time the recovery was quick and it was another chance to buy the bottom range. Will we get that chance again?

  GM Brothers and Sisters ✅Bitcoin price remains weak Despite the July U.S. CPI data coming in as expected, Bitcoin failed to react positively and dropped below $63,500, erasing earlier gains. The price is currently hovering around the $63,000 level and underperforming relative to U.S. equities and other risk assets. ✅Shift in Federal Reserve rate expectations Combined with recent soft labor-market data, the in-line CPI print has pushed the probability of the Fed holding rates steady at the September meeting up to 60%. This is generally viewed as a supportive environment for crypto and risk assets, though Bitcoin has not yet shown a clear positive response. ✅Analysts warn of weakening support Trader Rekt Capital notes that the ~$63,000 support level is progressively weakening, with bounce sizes shrinking from 6.27% → 5.83% → 3.18% → just 1.15%. He warns that “at some point the bounces will become so weak that the floor will simply break.” Bitfinex research also highlights strong resistance in the $65,000–$65,500 zone, which Bitcoin has failed to close above since late July. ✅What to watch next Attention now turns to Thursday’s July Producer Price Index data, which could influence market volatility and the elevated downside protection premiums currently seen in Bitcoin options markets. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨ bitcoin:native

  9/12 And exchange support hasn’t been perfect either. Bitfinex officially delisted GALA in March 2026, with withdrawals closing in May. That doesn’t prove fraud — exchanges delist tokens for many reasons. But it is an actual GALA delisting, not an X rumour.

  @BenHart_Freedom Have you heard of Mt. Gox? Bitfinex? And other exchanges that have been hacked? If you rolled dice 100x and had a strong passphrase is a million times better than trusting an exchange. Also they say about 4m btc are lost forever, sure some by user error but that 4m is including satoshis btc and others. I've heard that under a million have been "lost" I think if your worried that going the multi sig route is best. Just use different manufacturers of how. SELF CUSTODY IS STILL KING! Just do it the right way. Trusting an exchange is a disaster waiting to happen.

  It's self interest - Brian knows that a Crypto with high TPS will eventually replace Coinbase because it is a third party intermediary in transactions Almost every crypto exchange has compromised financial freedom because they're third parties, which is why they support BTC or made their own blockchain - Binance, Tether/Bitfinex, Bybit, okx, etc “Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as TRUSTED THIRD PARTIES to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model… What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A TRUSTED THIRD PARTY.” - Satoshi Nakamoto

  Many things in this post are incorrect, and it matters that we correct them, because this version of the history is exactly what convinced people the last few months were a good idea. “BIP-148 is celebrated as Bitcoin Independence Day, because it proved that ordinary users, running nodes in their homes, could force the most powerful mining cartels and corporations in the industry to back down. The users had no hashrate, no exchanges, no lobbyists. They had conviction and they had nodes, and that was enough.” First, the framing. August 1st is what's celebrated as Bitcoin Independence Day (I coined and popularized that term). August 1st was the flag day, and it commemorates the outcome the UASF threat produced, not BIP-148 itself. Second, BIP-148 was not just "ordinary users" running nodes at home. It was a cross section of the entire Bitcoin network, something a lot of BIP-110 supporters seem to disregard: developers, exchanges, wallets, miners, and mega whales, alongside ordinary users. Most important to understand is that BIP-148 and the small block camp carried a massive amount of economic weight. Chain split markets ran on @bitfinex through 2017, and outside of those markets I know of many OTC deals struck privately in whale groups to trade one side of a split against the other. There was skin in the game on both sides of the war, and huge amounts of BTC put on the line to show real conviction. This was as much an economic war as an ideological one, and that point is rarely acknowledged. Even the companies backing BIP-148 were taking real risk. BIP-148 was never merged into Bitcoin Core. Running it meant deliberately installing different software and accepting that if the UASF chain lost, you could be reorganized off the chain entirely. Bitmain spelled that scenario out themselves, calling it a wipe out, in the same post where they laid out their hard fork contingency. Dozens of companies committed anyway (BIP-110 supporters would likely call them suitcoiners today). On the topic of hashrate, BIP-148 had no version bit of its own. It required bit 1, which was BIP-141. So the accurate way to state it is that BIP-148/BIP-141 had 30-45% of hashrate behind it for most of its deployment window. During that time I was COO of BTCC, overseeing a mining pool that was the biggest one signaling SegWit. So the UASF threat had three components that made it credible: economic weight, hashrate, and nodes. BIP-110 only had nodes. That is UASF cosplay, not a real UASF. Another point to cover: Mechanic was spreading misinformation in Spaces (and likely other places) that BIP-148, a UASF, activated SegWit. That is false. It was technically BIP-91 that brought miners in line with BIP-141. BIP-148 was effectively frontrun and never had to be tested. So Bitcoin Independence Day, while celebrating the flag day deadline, is as much a celebration of BIP-91 as it is of BIP-148. So no, it was not just nodes and conviction. Just think about things rationally for a minute. Why would buying a node-in-a-box give you the right to dictate what anyone else on the network does, regardless of whether it's a miner or another user? Does buying two nodes-in-a-box give you that power? Of course not. Btw the whole plug-and-play node culture came after the Blocksize War. In 2015-2017 you just downloaded the software and ran it on your computer. Stay humble and stack sats, but also stay humble when people who lived through the history try to explain it to you.

  Bitfinex Alpha: Bitcoin Lacks Sustained Spot Buying Support Bitfinex Alpha said the softer-than-expected US June CPI pushed Bitcoin to its highest close since June 22, but the rally was driven mainly by a repricing of macroeconomic expectations. The move lacked sustained spot absorption, a positive Coinbase premium and constant, price-agnostic ETF inflows, making it a form of “borrowed strength.” The report identified the $68,000–$68,300 range as a key decision band, with sustained ETF inflows needed to support acceptance above this level. Bitfinex remains cautious, warning that if the rates story reverses, the justification for the rally could quickly disappear.
