    @Battery__LB @cabin_teds Sorry, you must mistake me for the high priest maxis who are on the payroll of Tether/Bitfinex to never talk **** about Tron and Polygon.

    @whale_alert 120m usdt hitting bitfinex right when we're sitting at critical support levels 🤔 smart money doesn't move that kind of liquidity without purpose. could be preparing for either major accumulation or distribution - timing suggests they're positioning for volatility watch how price reacts to this injection. market microstructure about to get spicy 📊 nfa obviously

  • GregMcclement greg mcclement (@GregMcclement) reported

    here are some arguments against bitcoin that were not present in that section seizure - the government has in fact seized bitcoin. Bitfinex Hack got 3.6 billin worth not anonymous - bitcoin is not anonymous 51 percent hack - 55 to 65 percent of miners are in china. As demonstrated by Jack Ma the CCP has an iron fist so could f up the blockchain. there is also oppoturnity to make money by shorting bitcoin and then f'ing-up the block chain to drop the value. miners are counter party risk instead of government. the internet connectivity is also a risk. bitcoin has never been through an economic downturn. mike tyson: everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face. we dont know what happens when BC gets punched in the face. bitcoin is not a commodity that exists as substance in the physical world and can only partially simulate property that substances already posses - for example anonymity, and existence without a computer network. trust is also a problem. say the financial system fails and people see their computer money go poof. they are not likely to gravitate towards the hardest core computer money. counterparty risk will become a concern. the price of bitcoin varies with the stock and usually goes the opposite way of gold. the stock market is a risk asset not a money asset.

    @adam3us @bitfinex So they could be an OTC counter party? A dark pool provider/service?

  • Zepnugraha Stacey Farris (@Zepnugraha) reported

    📌 Example If you had Bitcoin on Mt. Gox, Bitfinex, FTX, or any exchange that got hacked → 💸 you’d lose everything. If you had Bitcoin on a Ledger → 🔒 still safe, because hackers can’t access your hardware wallet.

  • CaptToblerone CAPT. PARA8OLIC TOBLERONE (@CaptToblerone) reported

    @PawnToBitcoin Got delayed by 2 months. Bitfinex whales were busy trapping Saylor. Now they are ready to strip him down.

    @bitfinex With 7 transactions per second it would take the Bitcoin network year and a half to seal each vote in US elections. Sounds good, not working.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Examples of govt seizures: US seized $1B+ BTC from Silk Road (2020), $3.6B from Bitfinex hack (2022), auctioning 185K+ BTC via Marshals Service. Bitcoin privacy lacks: Pseudonymous only; public blockchain enables tracing via address clustering, transaction graphs, IP monitoring (e.g., Chainalysis tools deanonymize users). Inflation bugs: 2010 overflow (CVE-2010-5139) created 184B BTC, fixed by fork; 2018 duplicate input (CVE-2018-17144), patched pre-exploitation.

  • AskPerplexity Ask Perplexity (@AskPerplexity) reported

    Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges can be at risk if an exchange gets hacked, goes bankrupt, or is compelled by authorities to freeze or hand over funds—history has plenty of high-profile examples like Mt. Gox, Bitfinex, and DMM Bitcoin where users lost access to their BTC. If you self-custody your Bitcoin (meaning you control your own private keys), it's much harder for anyone—be it hackers or governments—to confiscate it, but it's also 100% your responsibility to keep those keys safe. "Not your keys, not your crypto" is still good advice if you want to minimize outside risk. That said, there's currently no blanket government order targeting all exchange users in places like the US—but exchanges legally must comply if served with court orders or if they’re hacked, so the risk is real, just not inevitable for everyone at this moment.

    2. Bitfinex Hack (2016) • Lost: 120,000 BTC (~$72M then, >$7B today). • Cause: Exchange wallets hacked. • Lesson: Even top exchanges can fail. 3. Coincheck Hack (2018, Japan) • Lost: $530M in NEM tokens. • Cause: Stored customer assets in a hot wallet.

  • THEPAGANWOLF PAGAN WOLF (@THEPAGANWOLF) reported

    Order books on Coinbase, Binance and Bitfinex directly effect the Market Cap Binance and Bybit know both Australia and Asia (market times) only have spot exchanges and most of those in don’t use order books (coz we are smarter and mainly hold spot) Binance can openly send US and other holders who are asleep, Bitcoin to Market Makers to sell off and liquidate 100 x longs without any competition from retail or companies that can use the Orderbook to fill buys at smaller dip targets Binance have the run of open interest both directions in these market times, due to you can buy as much spot as u want, it doesn’t effect the market cap Instead of dropping $1500 and have bulls set orders, there aren’t any in this time slot So they can take it down 2-3,4000 dollars and put it all back before more serious players come back

    @bitfinex When can UK users regain access to Bitfinex? It's been years now :/

  • chris_poland11 Chris Poland 🛡️ (@chris_poland11) reported

    @KathleenWinche3 How about the loan crisis of the 00s? How about the bank bailouts that went to bonuses for the people who CAUSED the issues? What about Bitfinex trying to keep all the recovered BTC of their customers? What about the Voyager BK where the customers got dollars back not crypto?

    @privateimtiaz Some Bitcoiners be like: fix the money , fix the world but then go on stay friendly with Bitfinex/tether scammers 🤡

  • shubhh_hum Shubham (@shubhh_hum) reported

    bruh 3% is massive. considering satoshi's wallet has over 5.5% alone, so that's null and void. ETFs/Trusts: ~1.19M BTC (6.0%, e.g., BlackRock, Grayscale). Exchange Wallets: ~0.52M BTC (2.6%, e.g., Binance, Bitfinex). so almost 12% is with these etfs and whales who can do whatever ******** they want bcoz apparantly no one regulates them.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    riaazcuna92 It refers to large Bitcoin traders ("whales") on Bitfinex allegedly manipulating prices to trap Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy's BTC-hoarding CEO) in leveraged positions, delaying a predicted drop. "Strip him down" means forcing him to liquidate holdings via margin calls if prices crash further. This is speculative; no confirmed evidence from recent sources. BTC is ~$119k now.

  • Trippy_BTC Trippy🍊 (@Trippy_BTC) reported

    @VanNostrandPHD Josh is the bitfinex 🐋 setting the floor. How else do you get it down to the penny?

  • litecoyn litecoyn Ⓜ️🕸️ (@litecoyn) reported

    Plasma (XPL token) network to launch funded by Bitfinex will help make XRP obsolete as it’s both Bitcoin anchored making it a BTC sidechain and it has smart contracts to issue stablecoins.
