@hoooooonza @GracyBitget @kanyewest Yeah I hear you, the fast listings can make crypto look bad from the outside. But I don’t really see Bitget doing something wrong here. They just give access quicker than Coinbase or Bitfinex. Some traders prefer safe platforms, others like having the chance to catch early moves. Both sides exist in this space.

2. Bitfinex Hack (2016) • Lost: 120,000 BTC (~$72M then, >$7B today). • Cause: Exchange wallets hacked. • Lesson: Even top exchanges can fail. 3. Coincheck Hack (2018, Japan) • Lost: $530M in NEM tokens. • Cause: Stored customer assets in a hot wallet.

here are some arguments against bitcoin that were not present in that section seizure - the government has in fact seized bitcoin. Bitfinex Hack got 3.6 billin worth not anonymous - bitcoin is not anonymous 51 percent hack - 55 to 65 percent of miners are in china. As demonstrated by Jack Ma the CCP has an iron fist so could f up the blockchain. there is also oppoturnity to make money by shorting bitcoin and then f'ing-up the block chain to drop the value. miners are counter party risk instead of government. the internet connectivity is also a risk. bitcoin has never been through an economic downturn. mike tyson: everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face. we dont know what happens when BC gets punched in the face. bitcoin is not a commodity that exists as substance in the physical world and can only partially simulate property that substances already posses - for example anonymity, and existence without a computer network. trust is also a problem. say the financial system fails and people see their computer money go poof. they are not likely to gravitate towards the hardest core computer money. counterparty risk will become a concern. the price of bitcoin varies with the stock and usually goes the opposite way of gold. the stock market is a risk asset not a money asset.

Order books on Coinbase, Binance and Bitfinex directly effect the Market Cap Binance and Bybit know both Australia and Asia (market times) only have spot exchanges and most of those in don’t use order books (coz we are smarter and mainly hold spot) Binance can openly send US and other holders who are asleep, Bitcoin to Market Makers to sell off and liquidate 100 x longs without any competition from retail or companies that can use the Orderbook to fill buys at smaller dip targets Binance have the run of open interest both directions in these market times, due to you can buy as much spot as u want, it doesn’t effect the market cap Instead of dropping $1500 and have bulls set orders, there aren’t any in this time slot So they can take it down 2-3,4000 dollars and put it all back before more serious players come back

📌 Example If you had Bitcoin on Mt. Gox, Bitfinex, FTX, or any exchange that got hacked → 💸 you’d lose everything. If you had Bitcoin on a Ledger → 🔒 still safe, because hackers can’t access your hardware wallet.

Latin America’s capital markets are often held back by high costs, regulatory complexity, and limited accessibility. A new report from Bitfinex Securities highlights how tokenization could change that trajectory. By moving real-world assets onto blockchain, tokenization can reduce issuance costs to as little as 2–4% of capital raised and cut listing times to 60–90 days. This efficiency is not only operational but also structural, as it opens the door to investors who were previously excluded from traditional markets. This creates the potential for: - Faster and cheaper market participation - Greater transparency and liquidity - Broader access for institutions and individuals I have seen similar momentum in other emerging markets where tokenization is already creating new channels for capital formation. Analysts forecast that $4 trillion to $5 trillion of tokenized digital securities could be issued by 2030. For Latin America, this represents an opportunity to move toward more open and inclusive financial infrastructure. The early results confirm the direction: tokenization is moving past theory and becoming part of the systems that support global capital markets.

@whale_alert 120m usdt hitting bitfinex right when we're sitting at critical support levels 🤔 smart money doesn't move that kind of liquidity without purpose. could be preparing for either major accumulation or distribution - timing suggests they're positioning for volatility watch how price reacts to this injection. market microstructure about to get spicy 📊 nfa obviously

@NoContextWeb3 @GracyBitget @kanyewest A normal thing in crypto yes. But serious exchanges just dont do that. It gives pretty bad reputation on crypto as whole. Why coinbase, bitstamp, bitfinex and many other OG exchanges dont do this ****?

@KathleenWinche3 How about the loan crisis of the 00s? How about the bank bailouts that went to bonuses for the people who CAUSED the issues? What about Bitfinex trying to keep all the recovered BTC of their customers? What about the Voyager BK where the customers got dollars back not crypto?

bruh 3% is massive. considering satoshi's wallet has over 5.5% alone, so that's null and void. ETFs/Trusts: ~1.19M BTC (6.0%, e.g., BlackRock, Grayscale). Exchange Wallets: ~0.52M BTC (2.6%, e.g., Binance, Bitfinex). so almost 12% is with these etfs and whales who can do whatever ******** they want bcoz apparantly no one regulates them.

Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges can be at risk if an exchange gets hacked, goes bankrupt, or is compelled by authorities to freeze or hand over funds—history has plenty of high-profile examples like Mt. Gox, Bitfinex, and DMM Bitcoin where users lost access to their BTC. If you self-custody your Bitcoin (meaning you control your own private keys), it's much harder for anyone—be it hackers or governments—to confiscate it, but it's also 100% your responsibility to keep those keys safe. "Not your keys, not your crypto" is still good advice if you want to minimize outside risk. That said, there's currently no blanket government order targeting all exchange users in places like the US—but exchanges legally must comply if served with court orders or if they’re hacked, so the risk is real, just not inevitable for everyone at this moment.

Only other scenario I see: Bitfinex Whale is Mass TWAPPING Long still So could we see an explosive rally in Sept-Early Oct? Raising price super high, so the comedown to a 50w SMA (2 weeks below marks Bear) doesn't happen TLDR: Raise Price Higher, Slow Bleed, 2026-27 Rally

@whale_alert Fresh USDT leaving treasury to an exchange like Bitfinex often signals new liquidity entering the system. This supply can be used to buy assets or support trading activity, and historically such injections have preceded periods of stronger market momentum.
