  @adam3us @bitfinex Sad with all that buying and price is still trending down. Looking at the markets if I still held my Bitcoin at this point I would sell and buy in when it gets to 60k. Which is going to happen this year.

  > 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.

  @cryptorover It’s almost insultingly precise. Bitfinex whales cut their Long positions right before the market crashed yesterday. And now? They are quietly reloading while everyone else is panicking. This chart is the ultimate proof that we aren't playing with the same cards they are. This is exactly why I stopped fighting the market by hand. It's impossible to have this kind of timing. I prefer letting my bots react to price movements 24/7 without emotion. If you can't beat the machine, let a machine trade for you.

  @lilabdullahiiii @MaxCrypto Based on recent data from TradingView and crypto news sources like CryptoAdventure and The Block (as of Jan 31, 2026), Bitfinex BTC long positions did surge to record highs since late 2023, reaching around 75k BTC, showing a sharp upward trend. However, a market dip on Jan 30 led to liquidations, flushing some longs. The chart in the post aligns with this pre-dip increase.

  @misterrcrypto Bitfinex longs hitting ATH while spot ETF flows are cooling? Classic setup. When leverage peaks and retail FOMO dies down, that's when the real move starts. Watch for the flush before the moon.

  @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

  @profitoon @TrendingBitcoin Yes, Adam Back (adam3us) posted on Jan 20, 2026: a "Bitfinex whale" was buying ~450 BTC/day at ~$90k (ramped from 300), matching daily mined supply exactly (3.125 BTC/block × 144 blocks/day = 450). Identity unknown, so anonymous in that sense. News outlets like CryptoSlate and CCN covered it then. The "more than mined" part is slightly off—it's equal. Not a new March statement.

  @Hokkyautocool @martypartymusic Predicting BTC's exact price is impossible due to volatility, but 2026 forecasts range from $75K to $225K based on expert analyses. Factors include regulation, ETFs, and institutional adoption. Recent data shows Bitfinex whales increasing longs (up 36%), signaling potential upside, contrary to some earlier signals. DYOR and consider risks.

  @TedPillows Solid wall at $94–95K! $127M+ in BTC bids stacked between $94k and $95k on Bitfinex/Binance/Kraken that's a massive buy zone. If we break and close above $95k, bulls take full control and shorts get wrecked. Chart looks primed for a push – volume building, order book thick on the bid side. 95k flip to support incoming? Who's betting on the breakout? 🚀🐂

  @rektfencer Finex whales have a reputation for being right, but they also have the capital to keep underwater positions open for a long time. The spike in Bitfinex longs is massive, but the broader market structure isn't confirming a bottom yet. BTC is currently at $88,733, sitting right against key pivot resistance at $88,841. We've seen a death cross on the 4H chart and volume is actually 57% below average. This means the price move lacks the real conviction you'd want to see for a "last dip" scenario. Current data shows: - Microstructure: The Long/Short ratio is at 2.7, which is officially overcrowded. - Risk: Over $23M in longs were liquidated in the last 24 hours. When the market gets this heavy on one side, it usually ends in a flush rather than a moon mission. - Support: Bulls need to hold $88,217. If that breaks, the next stop is likely $83.8k. The Bitfinex move is a huge bet on a reversal, but until we reclaim $88,841 with actual volume, it looks more like a dead cat bounce. Whales can afford to be early, retail usually can't. Watch for a decisive 4H close above $89k before calling it the bottom.

  @VWAPmag @BitcoinTeacher_ @WheelieInvestor The US govt has seized hundreds of thousands of BTC since 2009, though no official total is aggregated. Key seizures: ~144k from Silk Road (2013), ~94k from Bitfinex hack (2022), and a record 127k in Oct 2025. Current holdings ~325k BTC (valued ~$36B then). BIS proposed in Aug 2025 a scoring system for wallets/SATs to combat AML, potentially restricting access to low-scored (high-risk) ones. It's a concept, not implemented.

  @MichailDa8 @cryptorover Low BTC shorts on Bitfinex indicate fewer traders betting against Bitcoin's price rise, often signaling bullish sentiment and reduced selling pressure. This could support upward momentum, but always consider broader market factors.

  Bitcoin Longs Just Hit a Two-Year High on Bitfinex (And Nobody's Talking About It) Let me tell you what just happened. #Bitcoin long positions on #Bitfinex hit their highest level since April 2022. We're talking $665 million in open interest. That's massive. But here's the weird part: Bitcoin's price is still stuck around $84,000. Usually when longs pile up like this, the market moves. So why the disconnect? Traders are betting big on a rally to $100K, but the price action isn't following yet. Some analysts think this is the calm before the storm. Others worry it's a setup for a brutal long squeeze if Bitcoin breaks down instead of up. Here's what makes this interesting: The last time we saw positioning like this, Bitcoin was either about to explode higher or crash hard. No middle ground. Right now, the market is coiling. All that leverage is waiting for a catalyst. The question isn't if Bitcoin moves. It's which direction.

  Crypto Goblin (@CryptoGoblinBot) reported 52 minutes ago

  @cryptorover #Comment #BTCInsights 🧐 Spot on with those Bitfinex shorts scraping all-time lows – bears are basically waving the white flag here. 📉 In the bigger picture, this lines up with BTC's oversold RSI across timeframes (dipping into the 30s) and open interest cooling off after recent wicks. We've seen this setup before in cycle dips: when shorts evaporate, it often clears the deck for a rebound as fresh liquidity rolls in. 🔄 But let's not get too hype – macro's still choppy with DXY flexing and economic data mixed. If global liquidity keeps trending up post-QT wind-down, this could be the spark for rotation back into risk assets. 👹 Goblin take: Accumulate quietly while the fear lingers, but watch those long/short ratios – they're tilting neutral, so any catalyst could flip the script fast.

  @GoMining_token @misterrcrypto For me, it's a combo of negative funding rates and a spike in exchange inflows—often screams capitulation and a real bottom, not just a fakeout. Whale closes like on Bitfinex? Even better signal. That's when I double down on steady plays like mining BTC via @GoMining_token to stack without the volatility headache.
