  @bitfinex Feels like we needed that reset tbh. Everyone was way too comfortable longing the whole way down.

  amount is small relative to liquidity. Also, reminiscent of 2016 bitfinex heist, stolen BTC is notoriously hard to exit at size. marginal as supply for months probably. market reaction to this terrible news, triple-bottoming at $62.5k support, is surprisingly bullish.

  @SaniExp have not heard from you lately. Bitfinex had 30000 bitcoin but just shut down with only 3600? Any explanation or truth? @w_s_bitcoin @Pledditor

  @bitfinex That’s a big shift. $73.5K turning from resistance into support would be a really solid sign for BTC.

  Bitcoin: $63.7K. This week's rally to $65K was a macro trade, not a crypto one — per Bitfinex, driven by the CPI-triggered Fed repricing (hike odds 42%→12%), not fresh BTC demand. Evidence: ETFs sold $425M right before CPI, Strategy bought nothing, and the Coinbase premium's still negative. Meanwhile, the real story today is AI stocks — the semiconductor ETF (SOXX) is down 17.6% since July 1, with Micron, SanDisk, Intel all down 4-8% just today. Bitcoin's pullback looks tame by comparison.

  4/10 Cash is not flowing to “the RWA market.” It is flowing to whoever already owns the stack. Alkemya turns idle wire into working capital for GTX. Bitfinex Securities gets a record commodity listing under El Salvador’s rules. Vault, audit, and venues get paid for the plumbing whether a deep bid shows up or not. Subscribers only start getting paid after the waterfall moves: capital back, 6% preferred, then 80% of surplus. Until a distribution hits, outside money is the product being tested.

  🚨 $167M BTC SHIFTS BETWEEN MAJOR EXCHANGES Approximately 2,572 BTC moved in two transactions from a Bitfinex-labeled hot wallet to Kraken-labeled addresses. This is a sizeable cross-exchange liquidity shift—not evidence of a sale. Customer withdrawals, custody, OTC settlement or liquidity management remain possible.

  It's self interest - Brian knows that a Crypto with high TPS will eventually replace Coinbase because it is a third party intermediary in transactions Almost every crypto exchange has compromised financial freedom because they're third parties, which is why they support BTC or made their own blockchain - Binance, Tether/Bitfinex, Bybit, okx, etc “Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as TRUSTED THIRD PARTIES to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model… What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A TRUSTED THIRD PARTY.” - Satoshi Nakamoto

  my journey to safely custody bitcoin: first heard about bitcoin in 2011 and stored it on MyBitcoin because it was literally called MyBitcoin > website disappeared with my bitcoin started over and deposited it into Bitcoin Savings & Trust because a man named pirateat40 was paying a very sustainable 7% per week > ponzi collapsed > lost all my bitcoin started over on Mt. Gox because the exchange handling most global bitcoin volume had to be the safe one > 647,000 BTC stolen > bankruptcy > lost all my bitcoin started over on Bitfinex because exchanges had surely learned their lesson > 120,000 BTC hack > every customer received a 36% haircut and an IOU token moved what remained to BTC-e because nothing says trustworthy custodian like “BTC-e” > operator arrested and servers seized put the recovery stack into BitConnect because its proprietary volatility trading bot guaranteed daily returns > hey hey heyyyy > lost all my bitcoin started over on QuadrigaCX because Canada felt responsible > CEO died in India, supposed cold wallets were empty and the exchange turned out to be a ponzi > lost all my bitcoin finally learned “not your keys, not your coins” and ordered a Ledger > Ledger leaked my name, phone number and home address still had the bitcoin though, so wrapped it and deposited it into BadgerDAO because decentralized finance eliminated counterparty risk > front end compromised > lost all my bitcoin bought a Bitcoin-only, air-gapped Coldcard in 2021, generated a fresh seed and moved my long-term stack there > finally safe used the trading stack to buy UST because bitcoin was too volatile and “stable” was literally in the name > deposited it into Anchor for a modest 20% risk-free yield > death spiral > lost all my stable bitcoin unbanked myself with Celsius > withdrawals frozen moved to Voyager because it was publicly traded > bankruptcy started buying on FTX because Tom Brady, an arena and effective altruism felt like sufficient due diligence > bankruptcy started over on BlockFi because FTX had just rescued it > FTX bankruptcy also bankrupted BlockFi tried Gemini Earn because this time the exchange was regulated and run by two people > Genesis froze withdrawals gave up on custodians and downloaded Atomic Wallet because “atomic” sounded difficult to hack > $100 million hack stored my seed phrase in LastPass so I could never lose it > LastPass hackers found it before I did went back to Japan and bought on DMM because surely Japanese exchanges had learned from Mt. Gox > 4,502.9 BTC stolen > exchange shut down then in 2026 learned the Coldcard seed protecting my long-term stack had as little as 40 bits of entropy > wallet drained remotely researched multisig for three straight days, ordered a Trezor as another signer and finally achieved real cold storage > shipping provider leaked my full name, email, phone number and home address my bitcoin is now completely secure because there is none left, but fortunately everyone knows where I live. this is satire > if you made it this far go check out @SolarisAI_fun for the most undervalued infrastructure utility play in web3

  @btcliveco spot down, derivs up, traffic down. that's not a market getting bigger, it's the same crowd rolling the same money through more leverage. Bitfinex printing +21.4% spot while everyone else bleeds is the only real signal here.

  @BTCGUS21 @knutsvanholm coinbase famously did not list both. they didn’t list BCH until late 2017, and then to much controversy as it looked as if perhaps there was frontrunning of the listing however there were BCH perps on bitfinex to help the market determine its value, and some other exchanges did list BCH spot fairly quickly the most famous case of dumping BTC for BCH i’m aware of was jihan wu not seeing liquid perps, exchange statements about perps, major miner signaling re BIP-110 today.. appears to be an extreme minority
