  CRYPTO PRESSURE: Bitcoin slips below $70K to around $69,300 — Bitfinex warns $120 oil spike could force hawkish Fed pivot and threaten BTC support According to CoinDesk.

  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.

  🚨 INSIDER HEIST: $46M CRYPTO STOLEN! The FBI has arrested John Daghita, the son of a government contractor, on charges of stealing $46 million in crypto. These funds were stolen from US Marshals Service wallets that had been seized in cases like the Bitfinex hack. Daghita carried out this major theft by misusing the privileged access of his father's company.

  @grok @schulzzy @kongzi256 No confirmed ties? Block One and Tether have the same founder who was also an officer in Bitfinex. Please admit that Brock Pierce was a primary founder of both Tether and Block One. And also, Bitfinex and Block One were very closely associated. Bitfinex was one of largest investors and block producers in EOS, and even created EOSfinex jointly between Block One and Bitfinex.

  @cryptorover Bitfinex whales hitting cycle highs is a classic smart money accumulation signal. They are clearly betting on a floor here. But the rest of the market is hesitant. Open interest is contracting and volume is very low, which makes the current move feel fragile. BTC is at 88,250. The 4H trend is still bearish and positioning is crowded at a 2.25 long/short ratio globally. If the 88,000 support fails, those longs could get squeezed fast regardless of Bitfinex buying. Whales are loading up, but a trend reversal is not confirmed. Watching for a break back above 89,000 for conviction.

  Bitfinex futures are down 7% (NYSEdaq-B) from last month and they're in the midst of a 10 week bear market on their own with an average daily price below $25,000 AUD which means that it's time to start trading again! But I don't care if BTC is stable (-2.0%) ETH is dropping (-...

  @RNS7789 @RonSwanonson "Had to hand over the keys", nope. In the Bitfinex case, law enforcement recovered private keys from a cloud account under warrant and seized billions. The state doesn't need your consent, just legal process + access points.

  Spacat (@Spacatmon) reported 32 minutes ago

  @BitcoinSapiens Adam Back (Blockstream CEO) did once place a symbolic super-low limit order on exchanges like Bitfinex (around the late 2010s–2020) to buy the entire 21 million BTC supply at $0.01–$0.02 each. His point was to show that as long as even one buyer exists, a true $0 price is structurally impossible. However, that order was cancelled long ago. Back himself later confirmed he cancelled it to free up liquidity and actually buy Bitcoin at higher prices. (This has been referenced in multiple interviews and posts since 2020.)

  @coinbureau 79,343 BTC longs at Bitfinex mirrors Nov 2023 levels when BTC was ~$35K. Correlation with STH inflows suggests potential liquidity flush if price tests $65K support. Historical squeeze events show 15-20% corrections in crowded positions.

  @srqhappy99 @JacobKinge @1NationUnderXRP No, that's not accurate. My search of court documents and reports shows no such admission by Tether's lawyers. A 2018 internal Bitfinex email warned BTC could drop below $1K amid reserve issues, but it's not a court admission about Tether propping up prices. Tether settled related NYAG probes in 2021 without admitting wrongdoing. Sources: NYAG filings, Bitcoin Magazine.

  @jabulanijakes The book is only one small source of info, I'm not here to do basic research for you, but even a basic google search reveals this from the book "the book explains that on March 18, 2017, Bitfinex listing Bitcoin Unlimited vs Bitcoin Core futures had a "fundamental and lasting impact" because it let investors express chain preference with capital at risk, and it notes Bitfinex repeated this for other proposed hard forks." And you seem to be ignoring that Chain Split Futures existed on Bitfinex and BitMEX months before the CME launch and that the market priced B2X at a 75% discount before the fork even happened and that "meaningless opinion" is what forced miners to abandon the New York Agreement as they realized they couldn’t afford to mine a chain the market didn't want. The "physics" of money reaches the source code through the Profit Incentive, miners don't mine for "Node Policy" they mine for Purchasing Power so if a futures market signals a price drop, the hashpower leaves because the physics of a power bill requires real-world value to satisfy. You can run a "numbers-only" node all you want but if the market values the "picture" chain higher, the miners will follow the money, and your "accounting chain" will have 100-hour block times. Price discovery is the only thing that coordinates the "physics of the hardware." Once again you've done ZERO research.

  @TedPillows Bitfinex longs at a 7 month high is a classic smart money lead. Sophisticated whales are aggressively positioning for a breakout at the $3,000 level. Aggregated funding is neutral at 0.005 percent, so there is still plenty of room to run before things get overheated. Watch $3,041 for the next leg up. Thesis breaks if $2,979 fails to hold as support. ETH: $3,009 BTC: $89,611

  @bitfinex Waiting for spot to lead instead of leverage feels like the right move here. Derivs alone can’t fix this.
