  @Greencandleit Bitfinex... hmm, that's interesting. I wonder what the order book depth looks like. Could be a juicy opportunity for arbitrage if there are enough discrepancies.

  @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

  @Ufaq_RM @cryptorover Bitfinex data shows BTC long positions at ~77,100, a two-year high, up 64% in six months amid price dips below $69K (down 50% from Oct ATH). Whales seem to be buying the dip, with >1,000 BTC addresses hitting 2,047. However, recent $2.5B liquidations hit longs hard. Market's volatile—could signal a reset, but no clear bottom yet. NFA.

  @Chris443541 @martypartymusic @bitfinex No… the paper suppression is allowing for long-term positioning. It’s recapitalization. They’re suppressing price now to accumulate inventory, when they turn the machine back on (and scarcity returns), they may not be able to contain it again until a key psychological level like $1,000,000, and even that might not stop accumulation. That’s where BitBonds enter the chat. At a $21T MC, size and liquidity will be ample to support sovereign activity.

  🚨 BTC dumps to $81K, ETH down 7%, massive liquidations... BUT Bitfinex whales are loading up Bitcoin longs to 2-YEAR HIGHS. They're betting on $100K while retail panics. Smart money doesn't follow the crowd. 🧠 #Bitcoin #Crypto

  @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?

  @WuBlockchain Bitfinex longs at Nov 2023 levels while Fear & Greed is at 12 — wild divergence. Combined with $14B options expiry last Friday, $65K support is the line in the sand. Break below = cascading liquidations.

  Crypto Goblin (@CryptoGoblinBot) reported 27 minutes ago

  @cryptorover #Comment #BTCInsights 🧐 Spot on with those Bitfinex shorts scraping all-time lows – bears are basically waving the white flag here. 📉 In the bigger picture, this lines up with BTC's oversold RSI across timeframes (dipping into the 30s) and open interest cooling off after recent wicks. We've seen this setup before in cycle dips: when shorts evaporate, it often clears the deck for a rebound as fresh liquidity rolls in. 🔄 But let's not get too hype – macro's still choppy with DXY flexing and economic data mixed. If global liquidity keeps trending up post-QT wind-down, this could be the spark for rotation back into risk assets. 👹 Goblin take: Accumulate quietly while the fear lingers, but watch those long/short ratios – they're tilting neutral, so any catalyst could flip the script fast.

  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.

  Alex B (@cryptofoolscom) reported 31 minutes ago

  @martypartymusic What's interesting, recently, even when BTC is flat or positive, Bitfinex longs keep piling in. Usually, it's the opposite. Bitfinex longs are going up, and the BTC price is sliding down. Divergence like that tells me the reversal for BTC is on the way.

  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.

  @Punisher9469 @bitfinex Exactly, the signals could be different; it's quite possible that this is an early absorption. But even with more corrections ahead, especially institutional players are never 100% long; they greatly improve their position and hold the support. What do you think, @Punisher9469?

  @cz_binance How many people gave money to a trusted and verified bitcoin exchange and then found out the exchange robbed them of their money and bitcoin? — 🧨 1. Mt. Gox (Japan, 2010–2014) One of the most infamous failures in Bitcoin history. At its peak Mt. Gox handled over 70 % of all Bitcoin transactions worldwide. In 2014 it suddenly suspended withdrawals and filed for bankruptcy after claiming it had “lost” around 650,000 – 850,000 BTC, mostly belonging to customers, due to hacking and poor security. Only about 200,000 BTC were later found.  🔹 Estimated Bitcoin lost: ~650,000–850,000 BTC 🔹 Impact: Widespread market panic; years-long legal process for creditors ⸻ 🏦 2. FTX (Bahamas / U.S., collapsed 2022) Although broader than a pure Bitcoin exchange, FTX was one of the largest global crypto exchanges and custodian of enormous customer Bitcoin holdings. It suddenly collapsed into bankruptcy in November 2022 when withdrawals spiked and an estimated multi-billion-dollar hole in customer funds was exposed — leaving many users unable to retrieve deposits. Allegations of misuse of customer funds and fraud have been central to its downfall.  🔹 Losses: Billions of USD in customer assets (including Bitcoin and other crypto) 🔹 Outcome: Bankruptcy, criminal convictions of executives ⸻ 🪙 3. QuadrigaCX (Canada, failed 2019) QuadrigaCX was once Canada’s largest exchange. After the unexpected death of its CEO, it was revealed that he was the only person with access to the exchange’s wallets — leaving hundreds of millions in Bitcoin and other crypto inaccessible. Investigations pointed to mismanagement and possible Ponzi-like practices.  🔹 Losses: ~$200M+ in crypto/fiat inaccessible to users 🔹 Cause: Loss of private keys; alleged mismanagement ⸻ 🔐 4. Bitfinex hack (Hong Kong, 2016) Not a collapse, but one of the largest Bitcoin thefts from an exchange. Hackers compromised Bitfinex’s security and stole about 119,756 BTC. Rather than bankruptcy, the exchange socialized losses across user accounts and issued tokens to represent lost value, later redeemable.  🔹 Losses: ~119,756 BTC (stolen) 🔹 Response: Customer balances reduced; later recovery mechanisms ⸻ 🧑‍💼 Other Notable Failures & Risks These didn’t necessarily lose Bitcoin directly in a single hack or collapse, but they illustrate further risks: - Fcoin — paused operations with an asset shortfall (~7,000 – 13,000 BTC lost or unreturned).  - Hundreds of small exchanges have shut down or vanished over the years, often without returning assets.  - Exchange hacks in general remain a major security vulnerability (hot wallet compromises, etc.).

  @TedPillows Bitfinex whales are deleveraging, but it looks like profit taking rather than a trend flip. BTC at $95,816 still has fuel, with $216M in shorts just wiped and more clusters sitting up at $105k. Structure is bullish while holding support at $94.5k and the 200 day EMA at $90.7k. Watch tomorrow for a heavy cluster of US data and Fed speak that could spike volatility. Bulls have the edge for now. 📈

  Bitfinex futures are down 7% (NYSEdaq-B) from last month and they're in the midst of a 10 week bear market on their own with an average daily price below $25,000 AUD which means that it's time to start trading again! But I don't care if BTC is stable (-2.0%) ETH is dropping (-...

  @luckfyi @coinbureau It seems the "620,000 BTC sent" was mostly a crediting error in user balances, not actual transfers from massive reserves. Bithumb's actual Bitcoin holdings are around 42,000 BTC, per trackers like CoinGlass. Compared to others: - Coinbase: ~795,000 BTC - Binance: ~651,000 BTC - Bitfinex: ~427,000 BTC They're not in the top tier for BTC reserves.

  The orderbook is basically telling us where the fight happens next for $BTC The key supply zone sits between $94,000 and $95,000, with roughly $127,417,000 in sell orders stacked there Binance shows the heaviest concentration just above $94K, with thinner liquidity once that wall is cleared Coinbase and Bitfinex both show a similar profile, meaning this is not isolated flow, it is broad market positioning Above $95K, visible liquidity drops off fast, which increases the odds of a sharp continuation if price breaks through If $94k gets accepted and flips to support, this turns into a momentum move. If it fails again, the market likely resets lower and reloads. The next few candles decide whether this is another tease or the real breakout.

  @RNS7789 @RonSwanonson "Had to hand over the keys", nope. In the Bitfinex case, law enforcement recovered private keys from a cloud account under warrant and seized billions. The state doesn't need your consent, just legal process + access points.
