  Twap/Scale with BT300 I was shorting a massive massive amount of BTC thru the 70s, on a scale/add in limit. 1. When you have conviction, know a market is coming into resistance, pick a decent leverage point where you're comfortable sizing. (similar on the long side) 2. Let's say I am short 3x at 76k, and I know the market is gonna stop within 10k price (86k being max range), I will scale in ontop of my order starting at 76k, all the way to 86k. so it looks like: $100k position, 10% of Port. Enter 76k $50k, scale limit 76.5k - 86k. (200d SMA was target) additional $50k ($100k total position size) is scaled in. (Ai generated image for example) 3. Use other factors like a vwap, moving average, tpo, delta, order books, metrics to help validate this thesis. (IE I was watching USDT.D, ATH VWAP & Bitfinex longs) 4. You can do this with longs too. When breadth flashes in the SPX, CTAs start going, the trend is gonna be up.. asset isnt as flimsey as a single stock, penny stock or a dogshit alt coin. 5. Once you understand the BitFinex long rate ****, you will understand their intial position, and why they size it when the market pulls back (They're already long sub 30k, they can begin filling) 6. Using this scale method, also brings your liquidation point lower (because you're scaling) so if price goes up/down, you have a free-er chance of getting out at less loss, + you might actually go in profit sooner.

  @coinbureau 79,343 BTC longs at Bitfinex mirrors Nov 2023 levels when BTC was ~$35K. Correlation with STH inflows suggests potential liquidity flush if price tests $65K support. Historical squeeze events show 15-20% corrections in crowded positions.

  Bitcoin is the most centralized asset ever, marketed as “decentralized.” If you understand how the Bitcoin blockchain actually works, it becomes obvious that it is not immutable or untouchable. The code can be changed, and the chain can be controlled through coordination. For those who don’t know, Bitcoin runs on a single public blockchain, and control of that chain comes from who produces the blocks. Today, block production is dominated by only 4 mining pools: Foundry USA (30%), AntPool (18%), ViaBTC (11%), and F2Pool (10%). Together, the top pools routinely control over 65% of total hash power, and the top 5 over 75%. Officially, these pools are “separate” on paper, but they all work together. They share the exact same private funding, have same aligned incentives, and overlapping miners. This creates a de facto centralization where a single group influences block production, censors transactions, or pushes protocol changes at will. In reality, fewer than 10 people control most of Bitcoin through the top mining pools and core developers. Revealed from the Epstein files, Israel also funded much of this early development, covering over 60% of the core developers’ salaries. “Decentralized” is purely marketing. Stablecoins give this same cabal another lever over Bitcoin. They want prices up? Easy. They print unbacked Tether or USDC out of thin air and inject it into exchanges they control or influence, like FTX (before it collapsed), Binance, Bitfinex, Coinbase, and others. They want prices down? Just pretend to burn the coins, trigger panic, and the market enters a bear phase. These mechanisms make Bitcoin’s price highly manipulable despite its “free market” image. When a small group produces most of the blocks, transaction censorship, reordering, and enforced protocol changes are no longer hypothetical. Bitcoin is marketed as pseudo-anonymous and seizure-resistant, yet governments have seized millions of dollars in BTC with ease. Do you ever wonder how? The 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware payment was traced and recovered almost immediately by the FBI, which they later admitted they got access to the wallet’s private key (Very sus!). Similar seizures occurred with Silk Road, the Bitfinex hack funds, and multiple darknet and ransomware cases. This level of enforcement is incompatible with claims of true privacy or sovereignty. They clearly have backdoor access. Bitcoin functions like a Trojan horse. It was hyped as a financial miracle, sold to the masses, and accepted without skepticism. In reality, it is a speculative gambling chip, heavily surveilled and quietly managed by insiders. Strip away the mythology and it is no more valuable than a digital beanie baby with better marketing.

  LEO is poking above $10.04, but I’m not calling it a clean breakout yet. Price is at $10.05, trend is clearly up, and the Bitfinex buyback/burn story is real. Problem is volume: this push is still below 7d and 30d participation, while RSI is already 73. I like it if $10.04 holds and buyers actually show up. Lose that, and it probably drops back into range.

  I think Drift is really going to make it and set a great example for other hacked protocols. You need to study LEO to understand how amortization tokens are a huge success of our industry that no one ever talks about. LEO worked great to help Bitfinex remedy user losses. Essentially, the company issues tokens and set expectations for how much each will be paid. These tokens are tradable and transferable so that people can sell them or wait to be paid. Whether it is direct redemption or buybacks, the money flows from the company to the token holder. Essentially, crypto recreated private credit onchain for a very specific use case: paying back lost funds.

  BTC We went lower. And imo BTC looks like it wants to go lower soon again with breaking $60k eventually. Several BOSs. Closed below demand. Closed below CME gap. Closed below HTF range EQ. USDT.D now BOSs after the SFPs after the bullish 3 drives. Very bullish structure. Confirmed accumulation imo. Also crossed several fibs already. Now in supply. But overall imo USDT.D looks like it wants even higher. All on the daily as well. BVOL out of support. BTC Longs on Bitfinex moving up nearing the next supply level that could indicate a possible local bottom of $44k-$48.9k. So a clean HTF redistribution to me here. The level between $68kish and $70kish acted as a strong "downside trampoline" like I thought. CME Gap + FVG + Range EQ + strong bullish level before at the move up. Things further speed up in terms of going down as thought. Don't know if it's just a coincidence and bs or if I turned knowledge into correct learnings. Waiting for a close below $62.kish SL for confirmed SOW. And as far as I get it there's also no real HTF liquidity there. Would support the idea of a further fast move down. And I think if we close below the $60kish low the probability is very high that we could go all the way down to the $44k-48.9k region for the next local bottom afterwards. FIFA World Cup could act as a nice distraction then maybe, to make the herd believe "everything is good, it's already going up again". HTF Bias: still bearish Main Thesis: we could go below the Feb 6th $60.kish low. Invalidation: in case we should close above $90.kish we have a bullish ChoCh on the daily. // As already stated often but again here and there: Below a TA beginner and not trading yet. So just paper trading here for improving TA.

  3/ The real founders. Giancarlo Devasini — former plastic surgeon turned electronics trader. His warehouse burned down in 2008. Nearly bankrupt at 44. Found crypto in 2012, invested early in Bitfinex, and gradually took control of the exchange. In 2014 he co-launched Tether as a USD rail for crypto trading. Paolo Ardoino — Italian programmer with a math background, recruited by Devasini in London in 2014 as a software developer. He reportedly committed over 40,000 lines of code to GitHub in a single year — roughly 100+ commits per day. Now CEO of Tether. Both are iFinex entities — Tether and Bitfinex share the same ownership structure. That fact would haunt them for years.
