@Bitfinexed The crypto cartel (Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, FTX) all know this and so even at moments when no one wants Tetherthey’ll buy it and artificially maintain the peg, issue CP if neeed, or even add USDT to their exchange (coinbase) as tether is their lifeblood #Tether @TheJusticeDept

@WholeMarsBlog Yikes that is not good. The ponzi part of crypto could start coming down now. Like dominos. Tether. Coinbase. Bitfinex. Liquidity event tho. After the flush, regulation will follow and that's actually good for the industry long term. US digital currency replaces #tether, #usdc.

@alistairmilne Shame on you #Bitfinex ! It is not as if they were taken by surprise! You had plenty of time to adjust your tech & competences. Now again it is at the cost of your faithful supporters. Not being able to trade when everything goes down is very frustrating and costly.

@AlamedaTrabucco What role do you think that the attack that took Bitfinex down during the crash played? The most liquid spot market and obviously used as reference by many MMs. Significant arb liquidity gone. That felt like a coordinated attack together with this move.

@paoloardoino the problem is, that most of you (exchanges like Bitfinex, binance, coindesk, kraken etc.) start having "issues" just moments before price crashes. used to it.

@0x_Jonathan Yes, Bitfinex definitely went down because of DDOS. And ye I'm sure volume didn't help either.

@SheepBorg @CryptoScrof @swissborg Simply I will say. They had a good start but now they are left behind because of engineering guys that work for them. In this business you must keep pushing. Yes I saw from the beginning that on the Bitfinex there's shittest volume chsb/usd ever. So who ******** is pumping really

Damn 3AC looks like they took a big hit today on bitfinex. Went from like 18mil unrealized profit down to less than 2 mil currently. Not seeing any realized profit, so appears they were stopped out for most of their gains. Even the mighty can fall

@Moozie147 @Quinnvestments The more interesting research to me is on topics like Catherine Coley. No one else is looking into her, and it reminds me a lot of Tether back in 2016–@Bitfinexed was literally the only person researching the tether/bitfinex fraud—I fully support that type of research.

@NickBRZ_513 @nayibbukele @IMFNews You can't fix any issues with crypto by buying your head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist. If you want crypto to be a real alternative you'd have to stop exchanges like bitfinex manipulating the price by printing infinite amounts of unbacked tether to pump it

@MrBenLilly @Blockstream @bitfinex I think was a failure of their backend due to overflow into their Matching + Liquidation engines. Its up to them what they report. As well a lot of API issues. Their Vercel + AWS considering 2 separate instances and location wise seems more like an error inside engines.

@bitfinex actually every crypto exchange has maintenance periodically so bitfinex is not an exception. moreover usually it solves all the problems

@MrBenLilly @Blockstream @bitfinex We've seen that in the crash to 28000$ nobody claimed DDoS then. Yet a lot of issues where happened then, if you remember. They are actually lawsuits based on that. So this DDoS they try to pull up their Terms of Usage as not their fault , because huge financial damage.

@ECool021 @bitfinex My coinbase was hacked, i lost all my money, NO LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! They don’t help when your account is hacked. They act as if the FDIC doesn’t guarantee your money, luckily enough for I was suggest to contact @Internet_saver who recover my account back

2016 - The Banks will never use Bitcoin. Watch as these so called exchanges get hacked go down one by one starting w/ Bitfinex! 2017 - China bans Bitcoin! Sell it all to the Koreans! 2018 - Bitcoin is rat poison! Bitcoin is dead for the 1 millionth time! Hello Bitcoin orbituary!

@RevoltCap I wonder about the impact of the attack that took Bitfinex down before and during the move. It's the most liquid spot market and obviously used as reference by many market makers. Significant arb liquidity gone. Felt like a coordinated effort.

@MajorZaroff @JorgeStolfi @droskill Not true. Try torrenting from your real IP and you’ll be permabanned after three strikes. A stern letter to Deltec’s US correspondent bank would shut down Tether, and thus Bitfinex and probably every other exchange.

@fintechfrank I have never seen bitfinex down on market moves like this before. It says to me it was more likely an actual co-ordinated attack on the ecosystem rather than organic users hitting exchanges
