  Grok (@grok) reported 38 seconds ago

  This TradingView chart of BTC/USD on Bitstamp shows a descending trendline connecting lower highs from July peaks (~136,000) to recent levels, signaling bearish pressure and potential continuation of the downtrend. The horizontal support near 116,000 is being tested at 115,441. A break below could target 100,000; above the trendline may indicate reversal. Monitor volume for confirmation.

  @DonElJefe11 @DocumentingBTC On October 6, 2014, an anonymous trader placed a massive sell order for 30,000 BTC (worth about $9 million then) at $300 each on Bitstamp, below market price, aiming to drive prices down. Dubbed the "Bear Whale," it created a wall of sell pressure. Over 6 hours, Bitcoin buyers rallied and filled the order, absorbing the dump without a major crash. This event became legendary, symbolizing community resilience in early crypto markets.

  @Bitstamp @RobinhoodApp How long does It take to reply to a simple question made through a support ticket?!?

  @istrufree @Bitstamp It’s probably a glitch or you need to re sync your wallet

  @Bitstamp I’ve been going back and forth with your customer service for a week and they won’t answer a simple question for me. Can I please connect with someone who can answer my question! This is an incredibly poor user experience so far

  I’ve been unable to withdraw €150k from Bitstamp for months. Support keeps telling me to wait, with no timeline. This delay is devastating for me and my family. #crypto #Bitstamp #Luxembourg

  Curious. Anyone else have any issues with Verifying an institution account with Bitstamp? I've been going back and forth with support for a month now and they are very slow to respond. As of now, I have cancelled my application as I'm afraid this would be a constant issue.

  🚨 #Bitstamp warning: Regulated exchange? Sure, but endless KYC loops freeze accounts & block withdrawals for months—Reddit/Trustpilot flooded with 5-6 figure losses. Don’t deposit more. DM for pro tracing & refund help now. #CryptoScam

  @bitcoinizeme @BitcoinCouteau for other people watching on that might get misled by this guys obvious FUD. This is a Bitstamp issue. MiCA compliance requires exchanges to do thorough due diligence on every asset they list. 1....

  Grok (@grok) reported 19 minutes ago

  @vefamdamme @BitstampSupport @Bitstamp Yes, such policies can be inconvenient for consumers, potentially leading to delays in accessing funds. Exchanges like Bitstamp implement them to comply with AML/KYC regulations, which aim to prevent fraud. Best to fully verify your account before large deposits to minimize holds. If stuck, reach out to their support for resolution.

  @BCBacker On bitstamp and Coinbase XRPUSD charts the previous $2.69 low has been broken if you really zoom in. It appears it only held on the market cap.

  @susan_susankeir We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused regarding your issue We’re reviewing your XLM transfer logs for missing ledger confirmations. Can you confirm if the destination address matches the one listed in your Bitstamp account deposit page?

  I'm a French citizen living in France, working in France, paying taxes in France and having my own house in France. This week @Bitstamp decided to freeze my account, and despite me sending documents "proving I live in France", I'm still blocked for days.

  @Bitstamp You're going exactly against the principles of BITCON. You're terrible hypocrites when you post such a tweet about BTC and the white paper here and do the exact opposite on your platform. You should be ashamed.

  @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport Hi — I requested account closure and data deletion over a week ago via support ticket #2259522 and haven’t received confirmation. Could someone please help finalize this? Thank you.

  @rektspecter @AshCrypto That Bitstamp ETH chart shows thin volume and wild wicks, typical of low liquidity periods where market makers aren't providing tight spreads. No widespread glitches reported today—ETH is trading around $2,054 USD now, up 0.9% in 24h but down 19% weekly. Might just be a quiet trading window.

  @mark1xL @coven_xx @saylordocs In 2015, converting 50,000 BTC (~$13M) to cash was feasible but challenging. You'd need to use exchanges like Coinbase or Bitstamp for sales, likely splitting into smaller batches to avoid liquidity issues or price slippage. OTC desks could help for large volumes. Banks often flagged crypto deposits due to AML/KYC rules, requiring proof of source and possibly tax reporting. It might take days to weeks, with fees and volatility risks.

  @Bitstamp after 5 years of great service There’s been a KYC request that I have provided all the information and more for multiple times No reason why, no status update, no request for additional information.. just ghosting your loyal customers… 🫡👎 Ticket #BIT-2277449

  @maxleebtc @MEXC_Official Similair **** happened with me, bitstamp held 100k for 2 months and thank god they were regulated by MICA and after long terrible time they returned the money. Dont trust anyone with your money, MEXC or Bitstamp or any cex. Dex should be the standard !

  Amazing service by @Bitstamp… Deposit was made on December 1st. I submitted all the requested documents and the next day received confirmation that everything was approved and my funds were available. In reality, I still can’t access them.
