    @bitpanda Binance, kraken, bitfinex and much more major exchanges had the same issue. Relax guys. I know its frustrating but not even them can afford the power of #Bitcoin ! Yet, at least.

    @TheCryptoDog You are a problem because you are creating FOMO. Remember that on 15th january bubble can explode thanks to theter (USDT) and Bitfinex in front of SEC. BUBLLE WILL EXPLODE!!!! $BTC $USDT

    @paoloardoino @bitfinex Tether printer over heating. Slow down

    I witnessed my portfolio to go down few weeks, when plenty of negative news popped up (India banning cryptocurrency, Jamie Dimon trolling BTC, Bitfinex issues, China regulations, etc.). Then I almost lost all my hope, since my first purchase was at $4500ish, but BTC fell to $3k.

    @BTCsessions @bitfinex was not down. So I BTFD at $36,500.

    @mewn21 maybe it'd pump intially, but the fear is about usdt being banned right? fooo didn't look into it that closely if usdt and bitfinex go down, crypto PPT goes down too thing is, now we have big boy institutional bagholders so... probably not necessary to have a PPT for awile now

    My problem with ppl accusing @bitfinex @paoloardoino of $USDT minting w/ a FRACTION of RESERVES is ppl DON'T count that BANKS ALREADY DO THAT. Now, it's obv @bitfinex doesn't, but if they DID, how can anyone with a straight face act like banks r any better?!

    @jfhksar88 Liquidity is going to be a BIG issue this week leading up to NY AG deadline for Tether/Bitfinex to submit documents that, essentially, prove they aren't a scam. Folks will panic.

    @mBTCPiz @crypto_spot @bitfinex good reason to believe a lot of those unwound already, if you study the behavior around when the first bunch opened compared to more recent positions. whales buy when stuff goes down, which is what caused the first rise. Then longs started increasing on pumps. Diff behavior

    @consistentbenny @arjunxkapoor @SantiagoAuFund No one besides bitfinex employees disagree here. The problem is "tether fud" is extended to a belief that tether will cause a potential end to bitcoin and is promoted as advice for avoiding bitcoin entirely, which is really laughable at this point.

  • BitcoinMacro21
    Bitcoin Macro (@BitcoinMacro21) reported

    This means more USDT will come in. More stablecoins. Bitfinex also at a discount and Longs just keep decreasing. Anywhere I look, longs remain very low. The problem is that shorts keep getting rekt non stop... Especially in USDT perps.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but, @bitfinex didn't go down today and is #5 in total volume. CC: @paoloardoino

    @bitfinex Please don’t deposit. #USDT #Tether is a massive ponzi which will soon be shut down by law enforcement.

    @CredibleCrypto Hey! Really like what you're doing, keep up the good work! Not sure if you've commented this issue before, but do you have a take on Tether/Bitfinex lawsuit? They have until 15th to provide financial documentation. If there is cover-up, will it crash the market?

    Bitfinex so slow..

  • brownbeagle
    Alex (@brownbeagle) reported

    @david_seroy @hudtigirkcdto @SantiagoAuFund The core issue as I understand things: 1) Bitcoin tech is sound. 2) Bitcoin exchanges are not. 3) Tether owned by same company as Bitfinex exchange. 4) neither Tether or Bitfinex can hold down a USD bank account - yet somehow they have accepted billions in USD.

    @coloradotravis @coloradotravis What do you think the end game is here? How does this gets "evolved" in the end? Does it take down USDT, Bitfinex/Binance/Huoib/... or even BTC short-term aggressive pullback?

  • radigancarter
    Radigan Carter (@radigancarter) reported

    @RaoulGMI Almost think of Bitfinex as an unlicensed Federal Reserve bank under protection of CCP, only they issue tether as liquidity for Chinese businesses to use getting all the benefit of the dollar system without being in the system, why SDNY took such a dim view of their activity.

    @PeterMcCormack #tether issues a loan to #bitfinex for $850 mil and this debt becomes an asset aka reserves that back #tether. When banking License?

    $eth whale closing on bitfinex dragged the entire market down.

    @r0ckstardev @bitrefill You can see Bitfinex and LNBIG have other connecting nodes further down the list. But I guess they each have a primary node which handles the vast majority of payments towards @bitrefill

    @ArgoBlockchain @PeterGWall 1. Are you at all worried about the Tether lawsuit? It could have a huge downside impact on the cryptocurrency markets if Tether and BitFinex get found guilty 2. What will Argo do if privacy coins like ZCash get cracked down on by regulation?

  • Chorseman_
    Colton (@Chorseman_) reported

    @FinanceRedpill So say bitfinex and tether were convicted and found guilty of what they’re being accused of and they did in fact print usdt out of thin air to buy bitcoin and drive the price up, all that wouldn’t be confiscated to bring the price down? Sorry I’m a little ignorant/new to this

  • crasl7
    crasl (@crasl7) reported

    @haydentiff @Tr0llyTr0llFace The answer is Tether is overwhelmingly used by Chinese traders on Chinese exchange (Huobi/OkEx/Binance/Bitfinex). They have little presence in the English SNS sphere. During Oct 2018 when Tether’s peg was briefly broken, you can see lots of these people were making noise.

    @bitfinex broken again. Lost a nice 5x long there. Thanks! "Cannot complete transfer. Funding balance insufficient."

    @bitfinex KRAKEN exchange SHUT DOWN again, locking traders out of their accounts & canceling orders. Their status page says their outage is due to "heavy load" AGAIN! I am not an everyday trader & this is the third time I have seen this during key volume times in 3 months!
