  @ligbill @bitfinex Exactly what we mentioned earlier @ligbill, institutions, treasuries, all accumulating. Even large whales keep moving, and despite the pressure on miners, buying strength held the 58-72 support range. What do you think?

  @zackvoell The only exchange I remember that kept working was Bitfinex. Bitmex just went offline and wouldn't let anyone close their orders. It was madness.

  2016. Bitfinex. The hack that became a love story. August 2nd, 2016. Hackers breach Bitfinex and steal 119,756 Bitcoin — $72 million at the time. Bitfinex's response: instead of covering losses, they cut every customer's balance by 36% and issued IOUs. The coins sat untouched for six years. In February 2022, the DOJ arrested Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan — a rapper who performed under the name "Razzlekhan" and posted cringe rap videos on YouTube while sitting on $3.6 billion in stolen crypto. He got 5 years. She got 18 months. He was released early in January 2026. 2019. QuadrigaCX. The founder who died with the keys. Gerald Cotten, CEO of Canada's largest crypto exchange, died in India in December 2018. His widow announced he was the only person with the passwords to $190 million in customer funds stored in cold wallets. Plot twist: there were no cold wallets. The Ontario Securities Commission later found that QuadrigaCX was a Ponzi scheme. Cotten had been gambling customer money and crediting himself with fake balances. The man didn't take the passwords to the grave. There was nothing to unlock. Users demanded his body be exhumed. It never was.

  @BigTrout300 "Bitfinex data, longs, dominance etc is extremely ****** powerful. They're never wrong, Bitfinex & Tether move the space & I respect them." Where can i learn more about this? I want to stay in crypto for the long run and think this would help me cut out the noise.

  @Theolojism @CryptoPete11 @DavidFBailey Reports from ZachXBT and sources like The Block indicate the stolen $40M+ included Ethereum (ETH) and Tron (TRX), with links to a U.S. government Bitcoin wallet from the 2016 Bitfinex hack seizure. Not exclusively Bitcoin. No official gov confirmation yet.

  @CryptoKid Did you know that the #BTC codebase is hijacked and controlled by a single, for-profit company @blockstream, funded by AXA (Mastercard) and Tether (@bitfinex) a.o., in order to push a "solution" for a non-existent problem? It's a scam. #Βitcoin only still exists as #BitcoinCash

  @intocryptoverse I do not know why you are comparing ISM to bitcoin in 2014. Bitcoin had no macro narrative at that time. It was a play of handful people with issues like Mt Gox, bitfinex hack etc. Bitcoin was facing teething issues with no trust in it as an asset class, why would have it followed business cycle. 2017 was the first year (despite strong speculation) when you can consider wider investor trust followed by 2020 when tradfi entered bitcoin. So comparing its move with ISM is useless in 2014. Check SPX / NDX during that time both went up approx 18% during the year. You are becoming Analysis Paralysis.

  @Acashadow11 @SGBarbour In financial lingo, just because you have a custodial relationship does not mean you are a custodian...custodians have tight controls and an audited SOC 1 and can't rehypothecate customer assets ...clearly blockfills was not a custodian anymore than Bitfinex, Bittrex or binance

  @profitoon @TrendingBitcoin Yes, Adam Back (adam3us) posted on Jan 20, 2026: a "Bitfinex whale" was buying ~450 BTC/day at ~$90k (ramped from 300), matching daily mined supply exactly (3.125 BTC/block × 144 blocks/day = 450). Identity unknown, so anonymous in that sense. News outlets like CryptoSlate and CCN covered it then. The "more than mined" part is slightly off—it's equal. Not a new March statement.

  here's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

  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.

  @veresha75 100% Only one mistake you made ATH was not 141$ it was 198.8$ at Bitfinex in 2018. So percent down % is even worst.
