    @bitfinex Miners sell. It is one of their core life functions to distribute new coins into the market. Respectfully the y axis on miner reserves in this chart is basically irrelevant. Third decimal point type ****.

    @BTCGUS21 @knutsvanholm coinbase famously did not list both. they didn’t list BCH until late 2017, and then to much controversy as it looked as if perhaps there was frontrunning of the listing however there were BCH perps on bitfinex to help the market determine its value, and some other exchanges did list BCH spot fairly quickly the most famous case of dumping BTC for BCH i’m aware of was jihan wu not seeing liquid perps, exchange statements about perps, major miner signaling re BIP-110 today.. appears to be an extreme minority

    Not your keys, not your coins. You've heard it. But did you really believe it until your exchange got hacked? Billions of dollars have been stolen from centralized exchanges in the last 5 years. FTX. Binance hacks. Bitfinex. The list goes on. And the worst part? Most victims had no idea the money was already gone. Here's the exact wallet setup that keeps your crypto safe even if every exchange in the world shuts down tomorrow. The smartest crypto users usually use 2 wallets: 1. A Hot Wallet 2. A Cold Wallet Think of it like this: Your hot wallet = cash in your pocket Your cold wallet = money locked in a vault 1. Hot Wallet = Spending Wallet A hot wallet stays connected to the internet. Examples: MetaMask Phantom Rabby Wallet You use it for: Trading NFTs DeFi Swaps But because it touches websites and apps, it’s more exposed to: Scams Fake links Wallet drainers So smart people only keep small amounts there. Like carrying only the cash you need for the day. 2. Cold Wallet = Vault A cold wallet is usually a physical device that stores your crypto keys offline. Examples: Ledger Nano X Trezor Safe 3 Even if: Your computer gets hacked An exchange collapses A fake app steals passwords Your crypto is still safe because the private keys never leave the device. This is where you store: Long-term investments Big amounts Coins you don’t plan to trade often 3. The MOST Important Thing: Seed Phrase Protection When you create a wallet, you get 12 or 24 secret words. That’s your seed phrase. Those words are the REAL ownership of your crypto. If someone gets them: > They own your money. If you lose them: > Your crypto may be gone forever. So NEVER: Screenshot it Save it in Telegram Store it in email Send it to anyone Instead: Write it on paper Store it somewhere safe Some people even engrave it on metal The Simple Setup Most Smart Users Follow Exchange Account, Only for: Buying crypto Cashing out Hot Wallet, Only for: Daily trading Small amounts Cold Wallet For: Exchanges are like banks. Wallets are like owning your own safe. When your crypto stays on an exchange: > They control the keys. When YOU control the keys: > You control the crypto.

    @AshCrypto ETH pulling back to $1,670 support while Bitfinex longs go vertical and Bitmine buys $73 million weekly is the dip that gets absorbed before the $1,850 reclaim that opens $2,400 💎 While the support holds and the next leg loads, ETH native yield via DIAMONDS keeps compounding without forced selling #BLAZE #DIAMONDS

    Julitta Ayan (@_Tyrano_) reported

    @dahongfei @BitMEX Bitmex was never a surprisingly large exchange, while Bitfinex where $neo was delisted is vastly bigger and far more active. Long-term survival does not equal success; on the contrary, ur persistent problems continue to cause full or partial delistings across multiple platforms.

    Bitfinex whales - let's call them Smart Money - have a history of counter-trading the "dumb" retail crowd. January-February 2026: increasing bitcoin:native LONGs on the way DOWN THEY BUY BEFORE THE UPTREND. 🚨 Since May 16 we have: - bitcoin:native crawling higher after rejection around 82K - Bitfinex whales INCREASING their LONGS even more What do they know retail doesn't? 🚀

  • Julian_a35k
    Julian (@Julian_a35k) reported

    As long as Bitfinex whales are accumulating longs we are not near a cycle bottom and this chart is telling pretty much the truth about the current situation. Historically every time when they were opening longs Bitcoin went down. But as soon as this reverses a bullrun could accelerate fast.

  • Mike_the_Animal
    Mike Richardson (@Mike_the_Animal) reported

    @CW8900 Last cycle the volume of BTC Longs on Bitfinex was highest at the bottom of the cycle, roughly. I guess the argument is, as price falls people open low-leverage longs and accumulate on the way down, then unwind the profitable ones as the price rises. Whether that is true or not, who knows. Also, on the weekly chart, they are still accumulating.

    Review: Major Institutions' Bitcoin Bottom Price Predictions for This Cycle Major institutional assessments of Bitcoin’s cycle bottom cluster mainly in two ranges: $50,000–$60,000 and $40,000–$46,000. However, some figures are base-case bottom forecasts, while others represent valuation floors, support levels or bearish scenarios. Standard Chartered said $59,000 may have marked the bottom; CryptoQuant, NYDIG and Citi identified key levels near $53,000–$54,000; 10x Research’s latest model pointed to $46,628–$50,732; and Galaxy Research placed its base-case bottom at $40,000–$46,000. Bitfinex and 22V Research also identified potential downside toward $40,000 under weaker demand or a decisive support break, while forecasts below $40,000 mostly reflect prolonged bear-market, recession or severe stress scenarios. Forecasts from industry figures are more dispersed, ranging from around $57,000 to below $30,000. Overall, there is no unified institutional consensus that Bitcoin will bottom at $44,000–$46,000.
