Some non zero ways for btc to go to zero. Elliptic curve cryptography is broken Coinbase gets hacked Fireblocks gets hacked Xapo gets hacked Bitfinex gets hacked Binance gets hacked Tether somehow loses all it’s money Bitcoin Core gets socially exploited i.e. there is a fork and no consensus from the top miners/custodians/exchanges on where to go next. These are all blackswan type events and the tail risk of this happening is so small it’s worth holding BTC as a speculative play because it’s upside is literally the value of everything contained within 21million coins. But if you think it can’t go to zero you are a moron.

@bitfinex My Bitfinex account has been locked for nearly two weeks. Customer service is slow and unhelpful. Funds are unsafe and withdrawals often freeze. Not recommended.

No, the claim is misleading. FOIA docs show US holds 28,988 BTC (owned/forfeited), down 85% from ~200k estimates, but much of the reduction is due to returning seized assets to victims (e.g., Bitfinex hack), not market sales. The 2025 Strategic Reserve EO prohibits selling reserved BTC. Sources: USMS, Arkham Intelligence.

@WatcherGuru will not acknowledge this. XRP’s 2018 all-time high was $3.40. Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex… The list goes on. That was it, $3.30-$3.40. The $3.84 myth was something no one paid, received, or witnessed in USD. It was a Korean currency exchange issue. Price discovery is above $3.40.

What Can Be Done? To address this, the following steps could be taken:Independent Audit: A third-party blockchain analysis firm should be hired to trace the USMS’s Bitcoin holdings, starting from known seizure addresses (e.g., Silk Road, Bitfinex). This would confirm whether the Bitcoin was sold, transferred, or stolen. Internal Investigation: The DOJ should investigate who had access to private keys and whether any unauthorized transactions occurred. Historical cases like Shaun Bridges show this is a real risk. Improved Systems: The USMS must adopt secure, blockchain-integrated asset management systems, replacing outdated spreadsheets and unencrypted communications. Public Transparency: The USMS should publish a detailed report of all Bitcoin transactions, including sales, transfers, and current holdings, to restore trust. Conclusion: The USMS’s inability to account for the full extent of its Bitcoin holdings, despite Bitcoin’s traceability, points to systemic failures in asset management, as documented in OIG reports and recent FOIA disclosures. While the blockchain should allow investigators to track the funds, the USMS’s reliance on inadequate systems and potential use of custodians complicates this process. Whether the missing Bitcoin was sold, lost, or stolen, the lack of transparency is inexcusable for an agency tasked with managing billions in seized assets. An independent audit and stricter oversight are urgently needed to clarify what happened and prevent future losses.

@fewseethis Bitfinex BTCUSDLONGS was moving down with the BTC price, but I'm not too familiar with this metric. So maybe higher funding rates are the result of the aggressive spot selling? Just thinking out loud here.

@whale_alert Before anyone panics, remember large players don't market sell. This is heading to the Bitfinex OTC desk for a pre-arranged block trade. It's a calculated exit, not a panic dump. The direct impact on the live order book will be minimal.

You are part of the government, you should be fact-checking these claims not recirculating a twitter thread… Here is the address with the confiscated bitfinex hack money, still holding 95k BTC: bc1qazcm763858nkj2dj986etajv6wquslv8uxwczt Look it up in a block explorer. Btc wallets the US gvt controls can be found at bitbo dot io. DYOR folks avoid the FUD.

@whale_alert $150M isn't for retail. This is Bitfinex preparing its liquidity pools and OTC desk for institutional sized orders. You don't stage this much capital unless you anticipate large block trades or a significant new wave of buyers. They are preparing the runway for the next leg up.

I am not an expert - this is from Grok. Step-by-Step Guide to Buying XRP Step 1: Choose a Cryptocurrency Exchange Select a reputable exchange that supports XRP trading. Popular options include: Coinbase Binance Kraken Bitfinex KuCoin Research the exchange: Check for fees, security features, and whether XRP is available in your region (some exchanges may restrict XRP due to regulatory issues, e.g., in the U.S.). Verify availability: Ensure the exchange operates in your country and complies with local regulations. Step 2: Create an Account Visit the exchange’s website or download their mobile app. Click on “Sign Up” or “Register” and provide: Your email address A secure password Personal details (e.g., name, date of birth) as required. Complete KYC (Know Your Customer): Submit identification documents (e.g., passport, driver’s license) as required by the exchange. This step is mandatory on most regulated platforms to comply with anti-money laundering laws. Step 3: Secure Your Account Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using an app like Google Authenticator or Authy for added security. Save your account recovery details (e.g., seed phrases or backup codes) in a secure location. Step 4: Deposit Funds Log into your exchange account. Navigate to the “Wallet” or “Deposit” section. Choose a deposit method: Fiat currency: Deposit USD, EUR, or other supported currencies via bank transfer, credit/debit card, or other payment methods (availability depends on the exchange). Cryptocurrency: If you already own Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), you can transfer it to the exchange. Follow the instructions to deposit funds (e.g., bank account details or crypto wallet address). Wait for the funds to appear in your account (fiat deposits may take 1-3 business days; crypto deposits are usually faster). Step 5: Buy XRP Go to the “Trade” or “Markets” section of the exchange. Search for the XRP trading pair (e.g., XRP/USD, XRP/BTC, or XRP/USDT). Choose your order type: Market order: Buy XRP at the current market price (fastest option). Limit order: Set a specific price at which you want to buy XRP (executes when the market reaches your price). Enter the amount of XRP you want to buy or the amount of funds you want to spend. Review the fees (trading and network fees) and confirm the purchase. Once executed, the XRP will appear in your exchange wallet. Step 6: Store Your XRP Securely Option 1: Keep on the exchange (less secure): Suitable for small amounts or frequent trading. Be aware of risks like hacks or exchange insolvency. Option 2: Transfer to a personal wallet (more secure): Use a software wallet (e.g., Trust Wallet, Exodus, or Atomic Wallet) or a hardware wallet (e.g., Ledger Nano S/X, Trezor) for long-term storage. To transfer: Go to the “Withdraw” section on the exchange. Enter your wallet’s XRP address (ensure it’s correct to avoid loss of funds). Specify the amount and confirm the transaction. Note: XRP requires a destination tag for some wallets/exchanges—check if your wallet needs one. Pay attention to the minimum reserve requirement (e.g., 10 XRP) for activating an XRP wallet address. Step 7: Monitor Your Investment Track XRP’s price using the exchange’s app, CoinMarketCap, or CoinGecko. Stay informed about XRP news (e.g., regulatory updates, Ripple Labs developments) via platforms like X or reputable crypto news sites. Consider setting up price alerts to stay updated on market movements. Additional Tips Start small: Only invest what you can afford to lose due to crypto’s volatility. Check regulations: In the U.S., XRP’s legal status has been clarified as non-security (as of recent rulings), but always verify local laws. Beware of scams: Only use trusted exchanges and double-check wallet addresses before transferring funds.

@HODL15Capital @SaniExp as Bitfinex had previously resolved the issue with its users and accounted for the loss. Therefore, this amount can reasonably be considered part of the exchange’s actual holdings.

@ClayMoore27 @Coachjv_ According to a July 15, 2025 FOIA response, the US Marshals Service holds 28,988 BTC (forfeited assets). Total US government estimates are ~198,000 BTC, including seized but not yet forfeited coins like the Bitfinex hack. No evidence of recent mass sales.

@SenLummis The verified number, 28,988 BTC, comes from a FOIA request to the U.S. Marshals Service, representing the government's actual stash. Arkham's higher figure includes seized coins in legal limbo or slated for return to victims (e.g., Bitfinex hack)
