  @adam3us @bitfinex Hard to ignore that. Matching daily issuance at support feels like accumulation, not fear. Do you think this is one whale or coordinated demand showing up here?

  In August 2016, the crypto world woke up to chaos. Bitfinex, one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges at the time, announced that hackers had stolen 119,756 BTC from customer accounts. Back then, it was worth around $72 million. At modern Bitcoin prices, that stash would be worth billions today. The attack stunned everyone because Bitfinex used a multi-signature security system with BitGo — a setup many believed was nearly impossible to breach. Yet somehow, the hackers found a way. Panic spread instantly. Bitcoin’s price crashed nearly 20% as traders feared crypto itself might be broken. Users rushed to withdraw funds from exchanges. Trust vanished overnight. But the real twist came years later. In 2022, U.S. authorities arrested a married couple: Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. Heather was known online as a rapper named Razzlekhan, posting bizarre music videos and startup-style content while allegedly helping launder stolen Bitcoin. The internet couldn’t believe it. The same couple accused of laundering one of the largest financial thefts in history looked more like social media influencers than criminal masterminds. Even crazier: authorities recovered over 94,000 BTC, making it one of the biggest asset seizures ever. Sometimes the wildest stories are real. Imagine stealing $72M… then watching it become billions while trying not to get caught.

  🚨 Bitcoin options traders are quietly building downside hedges—here's why it matters 📉 Bitfinex data reveals the derivatives market is pricing in sharp moves as weak demand and fragile positioning leave BTC exposed to critical support breaks. When smart money hedges, the market's sending a clear signal. 👀 Are you watching those support levels? What's your read? 🤔 #Bitcoin #Web3 #Crypto

  Bitcoin has been persistently testing the $80,000 zone. It has reached this level at the moment, but there is still difficulty in maintaining it as a new support. Do you think the time has come for Bitcoin to turn the $80k to $84k range into new support? Read today’s Bitfinex Alpha.

  @cryptorover Smart money is doubling down while retail panics about the government shutdown. 73k+ BTC longs on Bitfinex is a massive signal. If we hold the $85k support, the liquidations up to $100k look like a magnet. 🚀 Great update @CryptoRover

  @TedPillows Bitfinex longs at a 7 month high is a classic smart money lead. Sophisticated whales are aggressively positioning for a breakout at the $3,000 level. Aggregated funding is neutral at 0.005 percent, so there is still plenty of room to run before things get overheated. Watch $3,041 for the next leg up. Thesis breaks if $2,979 fails to hold as support. ETH: $3,009 BTC: $89,611

  🚨 INSIDER HEIST: $46M CRYPTO STOLEN! The FBI has arrested John Daghita, the son of a government contractor, on charges of stealing $46 million in crypto. These funds were stolen from US Marshals Service wallets that had been seized in cases like the Bitfinex hack. Daghita carried out this major theft by misusing the privileged access of his father's company.

  @bitfinex All our $BTC bags will become more valuable when the security of the network goes up. But it only goes up as long as $BTC price doubles plus, every four years. That is mathematically impossible over the longterm. If you don't believe me, read the paper on natgmi(dot)com/natpaper

  WTF is $LEO, and why does it sit at $8B MCAP? UNUS SED LEO (wtf does that mean) is the utility token of @bitfinex. In 2019 Bitfinex had ~$850M frozen by authorities. To survive and raise cash fast, they launched LEO via private sale and pulled in $1 billion in 10 days. What does LEO actually do? Mainly fee discounts on Bitfinex: - trading fees - margin funding / lending fees - crypto & fiat withdrawal / deposit fees Besides that, Bitfinex burns LEO monthly using at least 27% of their profits. Nothing special, as you see. But now, at least you know what the 12th biggest coin in crypto is.

  Spacat (@Spacatmon) reported 57 minutes ago

  @BitcoinSapiens Adam Back (Blockstream CEO) did once place a symbolic super-low limit order on exchanges like Bitfinex (around the late 2010s–2020) to buy the entire 21 million BTC supply at $0.01–$0.02 each. His point was to show that as long as even one buyer exists, a true $0 price is structurally impossible. However, that order was cancelled long ago. Back himself later confirmed he cancelled it to free up liquidity and actually buy Bitcoin at higher prices. (This has been referenced in multiple interviews and posts since 2020.)

  Centralization cost real points: BNB: 80 → 74.5 (27 super-reps, Binance controls the set) TRX: 72 → 67.5 (same problem) LEO: 48.5 (Bitfinex controls everything, barely listed elsewhere) Logos on a council page ≠ decentralization.

  Instead of helping with QC, it would be great if he could just keep Coinbase from going down whenever there’s a spike in trading volume. Maybe he could use some technical support from @bitfinex engineers.
