  Capitulation or bull trap? Bitfinex whales defy the #bitcoin sell-off and open record positions bitcoin:native is at a critical crossroads after five consecutive days of losses (May 15–19), marking its second-worst losing streak so far this year. The asset has retreated from the $80,000 range to around $76,000, dragged down by widespread weakness in the markets. However, behind the scenes, the big players are executing a move with strong conviction. 🧵

  @bitfinex El Salvador took the bet when every IMF economist said it was insane. Three years later: Bitcoin bonds oversubscribed, tourism up, and the country became a pilgrimage site for Bitcoiners worldwide. The biggest risk was never adopting Bitcoin. It was waiting for permission to do so.

  @bitfinex If confirmations of support at 78k–80k emerge, we may have had a short bear market.

  @veresha75 100% Only one mistake you made ATH was not 141$ it was 198.8$ at Bitfinex in 2018. So percent down % is even worst.

  3/ The real founders. Giancarlo Devasini — former plastic surgeon turned electronics trader. His warehouse burned down in 2008. Nearly bankrupt at 44. Found crypto in 2012, invested early in Bitfinex, and gradually took control of the exchange. In 2014 he co-launched Tether as a USD rail for crypto trading. Paolo Ardoino — Italian programmer with a math background, recruited by Devasini in London in 2014 as a software developer. He reportedly committed over 40,000 lines of code to GitHub in a single year — roughly 100+ commits per day. Now CEO of Tether. Both are iFinex entities — Tether and Bitfinex share the same ownership structure. That fact would haunt them for years.

  @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.)

  @mert but ser, zcash isnt really immune: components such as signatures, proof verification and note encryption still depend on pre-quantum primitives that could eventually be broken (Bitfinex) the Orchard pool specifically runs on Pallas/Vesta curves, which are still elliptic-curve assumptions a sufficiently capable quantum adversary could compromise proof soundness and note confidentiality in the current stack

  > Be Ilya Lichtenstein. 2016 - Hack Bitfinex. - Steal 119,754 BTC. At the time: - ~$72M. - One of the largest crypto exchange hacks ever. But the real story? What happens after. - Instead of cashing out immediately - they wait. - Slowly laundering the Bitcoin through thousands of transactions. Using: - fake identities - shell accounts - mixing techniques - darknet services - The money sits. - Bitcoin keeps rising. By 2022: - Those stolen coins are worth $4.5B+. - Largest financial seizure in U.S. Department of Justice history. - The people behind it? - A married couple. - Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan Heather’s alter ego online: - “Razzlekhan.” - Self-proclaimed rapper. - Startup founder. - Forbes contributor. - Posting music videos on YouTube while laundering billions in Bitcoin. 2022 - U.S. authorities arrest them in New York. - Seize 94,000 BTC. - The blockchain never forgot. - One hack. - Six years. - Billions tracked down. In crypto: - You can hide your name. - But you can’t erase the ledger.

  Centralization cost real points: BNB: 80 → 74.5 (27 super-reps, Binance controls the set) TRX: 72 → 67.5 (same problem) LEO: 48.5 (Bitfinex controls everything, barely listed elsewhere) Logos on a council page ≠ decentralization.

  @cryptogoos Bitfinex longs at 80,636 BTC 2.5 year high Sounds bullish. Until you check the history These longs have been a textbook contrarian indicator for years. Every major spike coincided with a price top, not a bottom.BTC down 13% YTD while longs up 10%. Someone is very convicted. Or very wrong 📊

  Bitcoin hit $71k+ on Iran ceasefire relief, but the rally is turning cautious for 3 clear reasons: • Bitfinex leveraged long positions are stuck near multi-year highs (80,057 BTC) — classic contrarian signal that hasn’t unwound despite the 15%+ bounce from $60k. • Muted U.S. institutional demand — Coinbase Premium Index is flipping between premium and discount (no strong buying conviction). • Crypto stocks barely moving (Coinbase +1.5%, MicroStrategy +3%) while Nasdaq/S&P rip higher. We yet to see real institutional conviction. Do you think $BTC will break the $70k support zone or this is just a market pump due to noise?
