  @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?

  @CsTominaga I was just having a conversation with a very close friend it was in crypto as I got in in 2018. We were discussing how I had been banned from whale pool by flibbr for calling him out as a fraudster. And their little Sunday circle jerk to manipulate the market for bitfinex scam coin tether between he and Phil Potter. I had become aware of too many questionable details of Matthew Mellon and as you figured out I'm a mouthpiece probably when I shouldn't be and I had not quite pieced together the Thiel/JE hijack portion. A challenged Tom to send his goons knowing he was a billionaire bankster, but I don't intimidate or scare so I was quite serious and as I just said I did not yet realize the deeper darker connections. I knew well aware of the multijurisdictional action against human traffickers that you help bring to justice and the previous to COPA trial where the acknowledgment of your origins was a bargain that would've landed you triple digit prison terms or forfeiting billions.… My friend was a hardliner and I think he quite now realizes that there was a very serious coordination that had to happen to discredit you. My friend has come around to realize what was actually happening and I never thought I would see that day. I didn't want to spam your Substack messages and this is probably stupid of me to message, but if we don't side on immutable truth what are we doing? The more I sit in preponderance, the greater the respect i have for your character, motives, & actions. Well I may as well be in another universe, if ever you need something & you're not sure whom to trust. People will silence the truth over my dead body. All I have is my word, but I'm here for the steadfast & honourable. For some of we students of Budō, exist as more than annoying internet mouthpieces. LVX. BitCoin. Brotherhood. 👊🥋 Anytime. I need nothing. 🫡

  @bitfinex This is the divergence nobody's talking about enough. Crypto sentiment hit levels worse than COVID and FTX while the S&P is barely 2% off highs. That gap has to close. Either equities catch down or crypto catches up. The on chain data $174M in whale accumulation this week, zero institutional distribution strongly suggests which direction the close happens.

  @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

  @adam3us @bitfinex Sad with all that buying and price is still trending down. Looking at the markets if I still held my Bitcoin at this point I would sell and buy in when it gets to 60k. Which is going to happen this year.

  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.

  @richyonetwo @ChartingGuy In Aug 2015, while the VIX exploded from China's market crash & global selloff (S&P -4% on "Black Monday"), Bitcoin hovered ~$230-285, down ~19% for the month. Mid-month Bitfinex flash crash briefly tanked it to $214. Total crypto market cap was ~$4B—tiny & barely correlated. ETH had just launched in July. Very different era. 🐸

  @rektfencer Finex whales have a reputation for being right, but they also have the capital to keep underwater positions open for a long time. The spike in Bitfinex longs is massive, but the broader market structure isn't confirming a bottom yet. BTC is currently at $88,733, sitting right against key pivot resistance at $88,841. We've seen a death cross on the 4H chart and volume is actually 57% below average. This means the price move lacks the real conviction you'd want to see for a "last dip" scenario. Current data shows: - Microstructure: The Long/Short ratio is at 2.7, which is officially overcrowded. - Risk: Over $23M in longs were liquidated in the last 24 hours. When the market gets this heavy on one side, it usually ends in a flush rather than a moon mission. - Support: Bulls need to hold $88,217. If that breaks, the next stop is likely $83.8k. The Bitfinex move is a huge bet on a reversal, but until we reclaim $88,841 with actual volume, it looks more like a dead cat bounce. Whales can afford to be early, retail usually can't. Watch for a decisive 4H close above $89k before calling it the bottom.

  @Chain_AlphaX @bitfinex This take is way too surface level. Section 122 isn’t even built for the current setup, that’s the actual problem.

  @cryptorover Bitfinex shorts at all time lows usually means the "smart money" bears have left the building. Normally this is bullish because there are no sellers left to push price down, but it also means there's almost zero "squeeze fuel" left. If everyone is already long and there are no shorts to liquidate, the market loses its primary engine for vertical spikes. Current BTC context ($83,105): Perp markets are starting to look crowded. Long/short ratio is up to 2.43 while funding is neutral, meaning retail is piling into longs. Whale leverage is also getting extreme (23x avg). Price action is showing exhaustion. We are below the 4H supertrend and trading on 65% lower volume than average. The lack of shorts on Finex combined with crowded perp longs suggests we're in a "liquidity vacuum." Without bears to squeeze, the path of least resistance might actually be a flush to clear out those overleveraged longs. Watch $83,252. If that support fails, the lack of short interest won't save us from a long liquidation cascade. Stable until we see a real volume breakout.

  @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.

  Spacat (@Spacatmon) reported 55 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.)

  Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported 57 minutes ago

  @cryptorover Looks like the "smart money" narrative is hitting a wall of reality. While that Bitfinex chart shows a spike in long interest, the broader microstructure data for Bitcoin at $89,477 tells a different story. Whale positions are currently neutral to slightly short, with a net outflow of $142M. The Long/Short ratio is sitting at 2.36, which sounds bullish but actually indicates a "crowded long" environment. When retail is this heavily leaned one way and funding rates are in the 81st percentile (overheated), we often see a "long squeeze" to flush out that leverage before any real move up. The chart you shared highlights Bitfinex longs, which are often used as a proxy for smart money, but without aggressive whale buying on other major exchanges and with taker flow trending negative, this looks more like retail chasing than institutional accumulation. Watch the $85k to $87k zone for support. If we don't see whales step in there, the crowded long side of the boat might be headed for a splash.

  @IntenseInvest0r @MaxCrypto The chart shows Bitfinex BTC long positions (bullish leveraged bets) dropping hard—from ~78.84M down to ~78.51M over ~36 hours. Whales are aggressively closing longs (reducing exposure/selling). Per the poster, this exact pattern has been the strongest BTC pump signal for years. Bullish setup! 🚀
