  @RobinhoodApp Cool story bro... I've been waiting a week for my Bitstamp account to transfer to Robinhood after being pushed in to doing so. Says, "error with network". Thiefs, just like removing the buy button almost 6 years ago. You still owe a lot of retail a bunch of money.

  @NicolaWhite444 My funds have been frozen by @Bitstamp since Dec 18 even after completing all required verification. No resolution. No timeline. This is causing real financial hardship. Can anyone help bring visibility to this? #Bitstamp #Crypto

  @StuFlavouredStu @upshift_fi @Bitstamp just confirming that you’re doing this: to view your increased balance, you need to click “withdraw” and the withdraw amount is different to your deposited amount. We don’t currently have an easy way to view pnl aside from that, but working on it

  I must say - the purchase was on a premium for wonderfi shareholders; the introduction of competition for brokerage products, esp w 0 trading fees, is a net positive for consumers; maybe wonderfi CEO just didn’t want to show up after being abducted, so they used the bitstamp guy. But I just personally definitely had a gut reaction when he said “happy Canada Day” on stream. It also did not help to come at a time where Canada is seeking economic independence from the US, particularly from USD denominated import export demand, and our car manufacturing sector got hammered in Ontario by the current US government’s tariffs on automobiles. I’m clearly nitpicking here, as the team has done excellent work, and I particularly loved Hilary’s section, filled with actual product updates from top to bottom. All in all, I just hope they don’t stream a British officer to announce things for Australia on January 26 in 2027.

  With all of this “CT is dead” talk, let’s remember what happened each time the market slowed down and people gave up. Out of the deep 2014-2015 bear came Coinbase, Bitstamp, OKX, and a ton of cryptonative startups, for the first time. Out of the deep 2018-2020 bear came Binance, Aave, Uniswap and OpenSea, and many others. Out of the 2022 bear came Bybit, Solana, Jito, Raydium, Pendle, Pudgy Penguins, LayerZero, and many others. Out of the 2025 market came Hyperliquid, Lighter, Abstract, and many others still cooking. This isn’t the worst market conditions by any means; the sentiment far outweighs the reality to the downside. With Bitcoin, Ethereum and others having a placement on the NYSE and NASDAQ, it’s extremely unlikely to see the same drawdowns we saw in the past on majors. Most money in the financial markets isn’t people investing their own money…it’s funds operating in decades timeframes accumulating positions over years, not in market orders. It is true that the easy times to rotate are over for now. But the real builders have just begun. And the real capital rotation has just begun. 🤝

  @TedPillows That OG whale's been cashing out alright. Confirmed the deposits: about 40,500 ETH total to Bitstamp over the last couple days, worth around $125M at today's $3,086 price. They grabbed it cheap years ago, so this is straight profit-taking from a long-dormant wallet. Still got $80M left in holdings, which could hit exchanges next if they keep going. Short-term, it's bearish noise for ETH. Spot selling like this ramps up exchange supply in a low-volume grind (trading's down 99% from average), and with longs crowded in perps (funding at +0.01%, ratio 2.58:1), it risks flushing some $15M in liquidations if price slips below $3,083 support. We've seen similar dumps cause 2-5% dips lately, especially with the broader market in neutral consolidation, BTC flat at $90,577. But it's not panic territory. ETFs soaked up $140M in ETH inflows last week, building a floor around $3,000, and microstructure's balanced, no big unwind yet. Whale positioning overall neutral, liqs even split. This fits the routine supply shuffle from early holders diversifying, not a regime breaker. Watch $3,083 hold for stability, or a break targets $2,929 quick. Upside needs volume above $46M to push $3,098 resistance. Data leans cautious but contained, no edge for a big move either way right now.

  Bitcoin is showing a dangerous signal! If 80K fails to hold, the short term may see a sharp drop first. From today’s Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now hovering around the $80,400–$80,800 range. On the surface, it looks like high-level sideways movement, but the structure on the right side is already very clear: the previous two attempts to break through 82K–82.5K both failed to hold, followed by consecutive pullbacks. This shows one thing: selling pressure above is heavy, and the bulls are starting to lose momentum on the push higher. My current judgment is very direct: in the short term, I’m looking for a pullback first, not chasing longs. Next, focus only on two levels: First, $80,000. This is the most important defense line for the bulls right now. As long as 80K can still hold, Bitcoin still has a chance to continue building strength and attack 81.5K–82K again. Second, $79,500–$78,800. If 80K breaks, the short term will likely continue to wash downward and test this support zone. This is the real area that decides whether the bulls can continue to stay in control. The most dangerous thing right now is not that it has dropped, but that it keeps failing to break higher at a high level. Many people see BTC still above 80K and think it will definitely continue to push toward 85K. But people who truly read the market do not only look at where price is standing. They look at: Is there continuation after the breakout attempt? Is there support on the pullback? Right now, the answer is very clear: selling pressure above 82K is obvious, and 80K is getting closer to being tested again. So my prediction is: short-term bearish, first watch the risk of 80K breaking. If 80K breaks, I will look toward 79.5K, even 78.8K. If 80K holds strongly and BTC reclaims 81.5K with volume, then it will have a chance to challenge 82K–82.5K again. One-sentence summary: now is not the position to blindly chase higher, but to watch whether the 80K defense line can hold. If it holds, there is still a chance to rebound; if it breaks, the short term will likely first wash down to 79.5K–78.8K. What do you think about this move? Do you think Bitcoin is washing and accumulating above 80K, or preparing to drop back to 78K to find support again? Type your direction in the comments: bullish, type 1; bearish, type 2. In my next post, I will directly break down: can 80K be entered near here? Where are the real entry and stop-loss levels? Follow me if you want to see the next key levels. Don’t wait until the market has already moved, only to realize you were one step too late again. （Personal opinion only, not investment advice.）

  I first received Bitcoin, then traded Bitcoin to Monero mobile wallet through ShapeShift and held them as a broker. There's no proof of this. Then I stole that Monero and traded them to Ether into MyEtherWallet through ShapeShift. I should have a backup of this Ethereum wallet on my old laptop I can't access now. Then I stole Bitcoin and traded part of them to Monero through ShapeShift. I have got proof of this. The rest I traded to OSGP and bought Bitcoin with the OSGP. I have got proof of this. Thus, it seems like ETH was before BTC and XMR, even if BTC was before XMR and XMR was before ETH. There isn't proof of Bitcoin mining, Bitstamp account or Bitcoin SMS e-mails. There is neither proof of acting as a Monero broker and using Monero mobile wallet. That's why BTC and XMR have "?" in Opus, just like USDC has "?" as I have not access to the Coinbase account anymore.

  @sminston_with I liked this video. One pointer, though. You said that the bottom in 2015 was because of the block size war. That is an error. The blocksize war culminated in Aug 2017. The final dip in Jan 2015 was partly due to a hack at Bitstamp

  @WhatSayLew Lewis you are smarter than me, but I have faith you will figure this out lol. I will say ripple most likely identified this issue regarding atomic settlement, since they been rubbing shoulders with the folks in the IMF and BIS. It’s why I think the bitstamp derivatives matters

  Binance is still best CEX from user perspective. Listing choice aside. But truly… - super quick customer support - fast crypto and importantly EUR withdrawals - many chains supported - never asked for additional proof of wealth reports (Bitstamp tortured me for weeks recently) - no weird account closures - low fees Etc etc It’s still the north star for UX for crypto companies.

  $HOOD Two segment anomalies justify a paragraph each. Crypto 47% YoY is consistent with industry data, not company-specific weakness. Coinbase's TTM EPS is −53% Robinhood's crypto print is mechanically the retail cycle. The interesting nuance is Bitstamp: $42B in institutional notional in Q1 vs. $24B in retail-app notional. Robinhood now has an institutional crypto venue embedded in the consolidated print, and it carries lower take rates than the retail app but accumulates volume that does not depend on the retail cycle. Over the next 4-6 quarters, as institutional volume normalizes higher (sticky once on-platform) and retail volume mean-reverts off cycle lows, the consolidated crypto line should de-cyclicalize. That is a slow, multi-quarter pattern, not a one-quarter print event. Event contracts +320% YoY at $147M is the most important new line item in the print. This is the lineal successor to crypto in the Robinhood revenue stack. The infrastructure (Rothera DCM) is launching mid-2026 with HOOD as 45% owner of a CFTC-licensed Designated Contract Market. That changes the economics from "we route to MIAXdx and pay a fee" to "we own the venue and capture the spread." If event contracts annualize at $600M+ in 2026 (current Q1 run-rate × 4 = $588M, with seasonal Q3-Q4 typically higher), they replace 50–60% of the crypto revenue lost since the cycle peak, and they do it on infrastructure HOOD owns. The market currently treats this line as a curiosity. In two prints it will be one of the top two narrative drivers.
