  • DJFUNERAL DJ-FUNERAL (@DJFUNERAL) reported

    @crypto Is there any timeline for when this will be? Or again another piece of news, where the main word is intention. It would be cool to live in a world where you can pay with crypto. For several years of working on Bitfinex, I have enough crypto to use it for payment

  • hectoreduardokc Hector Eduardo (@hectoreduardokc) reported

    @WatcherGuru Just like bitfinex. Never goes down

  • KitsuneDomi Thijs Vindhem (@KitsuneDomi) reported

    Is there a problem with @bitfinex withdrawals for $IOTA? After submitting the receiver address its telling me "Invalid Address" despite the correct iota format. Are there any changes at Bitfinex atm?

  • NucleotideSoup DoctorFaustus (@NucleotideSoup) reported

    Basic issue is it'll be a USD denominated bond offered through Bitfinex, where the plan is to sell the Bitcoin in the future as it increases in price. So really what it is is an IPO for a bitcoin mining company: 50-50 equipment-energy/infrastructure

  • deepskyblack Deepapple (@deepskyblack) reported

    @CampanadeTudela @Cointelegraph Wtf is up with all these paid users mentioning bitfinex all the time

  • butch_dogg maximus (@butch_dogg) reported

    14/ Partnerships - Ubisoft and Bitfinex are block producers and close infrastructure partners. - 150+ game studios to publish their existing and new games on Ultra - Chinese company with 80M monthly active gamers will operate Ultra fully adapted for Chinese market. TBA

  • sheikki 🌈🦄🌷 Justin Case 🌷🌈🦄🇺🇦 (@sheikki) reported

    @bitfinex @paoloardoino LN is not P2P and due to Blockstream Core's (BTC) block size limit intermediaries are a must if LN was to ever gain any popularity

  • GooberJabroni Goober Jabroni (@GooberJabroni) reported

    @cryptogems_com Bitfinex is not a block producer for Ultra. They were removed quite some time ago and no notice was ever given to the community. It takes 2 minutes to verify who all the BP's are but you didn't even do that. You just regurgitate whatever you see without researching anything.

  • Canyonaro Tulip Speculator 🔱 (@Canyonaro) reported

    @ZR1Trader The problem is still the entry/exit. The Bitfinex couple used Monero & still got burned on the way out. Cash is still king.

  • udiWertheimer udiverse black (@udiWertheimer) reported

    @eiaine @fluffypony @raw_avocado but let’s say you did solve (1) somehow and the fbi doesn’t suspect your funds come from bitfinex you still have the issue of (2), which is providing an explanation for where funds did come from that’s when you may want to start issuing nft collections

  • ferriskaplani Ferris Kaplan (@ferriskaplani) reported

    @paoloardoino @bitfinex my ledger account was hacked a 30k worth of xrp was stolen from my accounts and other coins , , tried to contact ledger support NO ANSWER FOR A WEEK NOW , i support the SEC and their regulation if this happened in local bank my money is back today

  • CampanadeTudela Campana de Tudela D. (@CampanadeTudela) reported

    @Cointelegraph It bounces up and down. I don't look at its price, I simply hodl it on Bitfinex

  • UCFGirlProblems UCF Girl Problems (@UCFGirlProblems) reported

    @WatcherGuru Bitfinex provides better service

  • reddetser Reddetser (@reddetser) reported

    @FreedomCapital6 @Dennis_Porter_ You the problem. Crypto world several days ago was happy that stolen BTC from Bitfinex in 2016. But this is a problem. You can not use crypto if government forbids. If cash was stolen. Or gold. That would not be possible. And this means that crypto fails it's main goal.

  • RobizafitP RobertWhite (@RobizafitP) reported

    @bitfinex Definitely UQC It’s not just a crypto, it’s here to support all crypto community

  • MoneroTrooper Monero Trooper (@MoneroTrooper) reported

    @Azathoth43 @apagut @LibertyLockPod It has. For example, in the Bitfinex case, Monero wallets were seized. The criminals kept the wallet keys in cloud storage, which were found by investigators and gave them access to transaction records. Note how government seizure doesn't imply that on-chain privacy was cracked.

  • TopeteLoiroCF CHIMBINHA (@TopeteLoiroCF) reported

    @blockchainchick Governments are not to be trusted. Canada is doing some crazy **** right now. US authorities keep opposing crypto. They also haven't given stolen bitcoin back to bitfinex yet

  • udiWertheimer udiverse black (@udiWertheimer) reported

    @eiaine @fluffypony @raw_avocado for the bitfinex hackers there were two separate issues: 1. how do you move a billion dollars in coins without exposing the connection to bitfinex 2. how do you provide a seemingly-legitimate explanation to where a billions dollars came from

  • Tuy2mas_Ribas Tuy2+_ribas (@Tuy2mas_Ribas) reported

    @BTC_Archive My money is on bitfinex, it's impossible to take away

  • Dymonz7 Dymonz (@Dymonz7) reported

    @ZssBecker Bro even Monero cant fix this.. see recent bitfinex hack

  • faZe_kqtr faZekqtr (@faZe_kqtr) reported

    @TheMoonCarl If you are familiar with memecoins then it won't be a problem to go on Bitfinex and choose what you like most of all. I always do this when I am too lazy to look for myself. No one will do it for me.

  • LinuxKernelHack Red Pill Tux (@LinuxKernelHack) reported

    @Dennis_Porter_ They can just arrest everyone at Bitfinex, whether they're guilty or not of fraud, say they were crooks that stole all the collateral and send the entire crypto market to **** right after selling billions of BTC for actual USD. The liquidity void without USDT will be ugly

  • maybtomorow Asim Shiekh (@maybtomorow) reported

    @bitfinex I has 2fa and still can't access my account, i have been running after your customer service for days but no response. I will advice everyone not to use this rubbish site with horrible customer service

  • ItsTime4Bitcoin ⚡Proud Bitcoin Pleb⚡ (@ItsTime4Bitcoin) reported

    @AwyeeDeaterBob Please tell me the US are dumping their coins Bitfinex coins, pushing the price down. I get: cheaper Sats. They get: worthless fiat they can create out of thin air anyway.

  • NucleotideSoup DoctorFaustus (@NucleotideSoup) reported

    Starting look into the nitty-gritty of this Bitcoin Volcano bond, and it is a doozey. Essentially, they are tokenizing the bond via Bitfinex, will spend half on infrastructure and half on bitcoin miners. Very disappointing. The bonds are garbage too, a total altcoin.

  • CryptoJiven CryptoJiven 🏝️ (@CryptoJiven) reported

    @twinsuper1 How so? Just last week didn't the government track down the bitfinex BTC "hackers"? They were able to because of the BTC they used. If they would have had cash fiat, and used that they would have never been caught at least in that fashion.Remember pipeline hacker? Caught by BTC

  • sreevallabhans Jsvs (@sreevallabhans) reported

    @cobie The documentary about the 4.5 B Bitfinex hack, no clue what it will be called, but you can bet Netflex is working on one
