  @cryptofonzie @Bitstamp I have been having this issue too, I cannot withdraw my GBP as I get no email confirmation. Emals are not being forwarded or blocked. Never had this issue. Customer since 2013.

  @crypt_shprd Why on earth would you use Bitstamp when you have access to exchanges where real volume is taking place? Serious question.

  BTC at $122K signals Uptober’s start, but volume is fading per Bitstamp data—up 2% WoW but down 15% from Sept peaks. This suggests consolidation before Q4 push. Key watch: ETF inflows (BlackRock IBIT up 20% MoM). What’s your take on resistance at $125K?

  Daily Market Report #756 It’s black Friday. Red sea again, deeper than yesterday. So much news that it is hard to even know where to start. My daily buy on BTC and ETH triggered again at these prices. I said it yesterday, and it keeps being true: You always get a chance to get in deeper. I held my DCA above $70K, stacked everything below, and the market just keeps handing out lower entries. I am not happy the market is bleeding, but I am happy I stayed disciplined for it. Bitcoin weekly RSI dropped to 19, the lowest since the December 2022 bear market bottom. The last time Bitcoin was this oversold on the weekly was the literal bottom of the last bear market. The Zcash story is the one that stings most this morning. ZEC crashed 33% overnight to $398. Zooko disclosed a critical counterfeiting vulnerability in the Orchard pool that could have allowed unlimited undetectable ZEC minting. They shipped an emergency fix, but the damage to confidence is done. A privacy coin is only worth anything if the privacy actually works, and a counterfeiting bug is the worst possible kind of flaw for that thesis. Monero is down 8% to $331 in sympathy, but with no bug of its own. This is exactly why the Monero camp says boring and battle-tested beats clever and new. Gold $4,448. Silver $72.79. Oil $93, still hovering near $100 all week. US oil reserves are at the lowest level since 2004. Iran says there is no tangible progress in peace talks. Israel is continuing Lebanon operations despite the ceasefire. North Korea unveiled a nuclear fuel facility. South Africa’s court ruled Bitcoin is money and capital, a real legal milestone buried under the bloodbath. Bitcoin $63,425, down 1%. Dominance 55.9%. Crypto ETFs saw $4.4B leave over 13 sessions. BTC ETFs saw another $397M out. Mt. Gox moved another 116 BTC to Bitstamp. The Strategy story has gone from a crack to a real wound. Saylor is now sitting on an $11.5B unrealized loss. The STRC preferred share slipped to $0.96, below par, which is exactly the pressure point that tool I mentioned yesterday was built to track. Below $60K, the dividend machine starts forcing the math. Crypto Rover closed a $1M+ BTC short at $61K and is calling a capitulation bottom. The forced sellers and the bottom-callers are screaming at each other, which is what the actual bottom sounds like. Ethereum $1,740, down 3.1%. ETH dominance 9.2%. BitMine filed a 9.5% preferred stock offering to buy more ETH, doubling down into the worst tape, while their existing stack sits deep underwater. The ETH treasury trade is now under real stress and being judged harshly. Solana $67.77, down 4.3%. TVL still bleeding, down 6.1% on the week. SOL holders have had the longest, most punishing stretch of any major. XRP $1.14, down 4.7%. Ripple’s RLUSD went multichain via Wormhole across 40+ ecosystems, and XRP still lost $1.15. Real product, no price relief. BNB $601, down 1.9%. Holding $600 by a thread. Hyperliquid $62.84, down 14.1%. The relative strength that held all month finally broke. Could Hyperliquid also get catched on hacks.  Hayes dumped his entire HYPE position, and the chart followed, down 15%+ alongside NEAR. The Grayscale HYPG staking ETF launched today into a 14% drop. I faded HYPE the entire way up and felt sick about it, and now the day it finally cracks hard is the day Hayes calls the whole top. NEAR Intents topped $20B volume with TVL at an all-time high, even as the token fell 19%. The product kept growing while the price got destroyed. That tells you this is market-wide deleveraging, not a Hyperliquid or NEAR problem. Chainlink $7.86, down 4.4%. Under $8 now. Citi says $8.2T tokenized by 2030, CCIP a key standard, JPMorgan and Citi launching a tokenized deposit network next year, and the token is at $7.86. Sui co-founder announced confidential transfers coming to Sui, shielding amounts while making unauthorized minting impossible by design, which is a direct shot at exactly the flaw that just hit Zcash. The privacy race continues, but the bar just got raised. ADA dropped below $0.16 for the first time since 2020 as Hoskinson announced a break and then said more Cardano projects are about to die. A founder publicly saying his own ecosystem’s projects are dying while the token hits a five-year low is about as bleak as it gets. The casino burns alongside everything else. Tether launched a gold-backed Visa card. Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard are near a joint stablecoin platform. JPMorgan, Citi, and major US banks plan a tokenized deposit network next year. Anthropic is calling for a global pause in AI development, warning models are approaching the ability to self-improve without human intervention. The company building the frontier model is publicly saying the technology is getting close to recursive self-improvement and asking the world to slow down. Whatever you think of the motive, that is not a normal corporate statement. OpenAI and Anthropic also signed an anti-bioweapon letter. The AI labs are warning about existential risk with one hand and filing to IPO at peak euphoria with the other. Three mega AI IPOs, market highs before September, then take profit. When the most hyped private companies on earth rush to sell to the public at the exact moment their own leaders warn about the dangers, you are watching distribution at the top dressed up as a milestone. That is how bottoms are built, even when it feels like the floor is gone. What are you watching going into the weekend?

  Don’t Get Fooled by This Bounce — The Real Risk for BTC May Be Just Starting Don’t rush to call this green candle a reversal. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now trading around $77,300. Yes, it bounced from the $76K area, but the real problem is: It still has not reclaimed the key resistance zone. Previously, BTC dumped from above $82K and broke below: $80K $79K $78K That means the short-term structure has shifted from strong upside momentum into weak recovery mode. Right now, there is only one key zone to watch: $77.5K–$78K. If BTC can reclaim this area, the bounce may continue toward $78.8K–$79.5K. But if BTC fails here and gets rejected again, this move is likely just a technical bounce — or even a bull trap. The most dangerous signal is this: $78K used to be support. Now it has become resistance. That is one of the clearest signs of a weak structure. My view is direct: BTC is not in a safe reversal yet. It is bouncing inside a danger zone. There are only two scenarios from here: Reclaim $78K: The bounce can continue, with targets around $79K–$79.5K. Fail below $78K: The bounce may fail, and price could retest $76.5K–$76K. If $76K breaks again, the next stop could be $75K–$75.5K. So don’t get fooled by one green candle. The real signal is not that BTC bounced. The real signal is: Can it reclaim the key levels it just lost? My view is simple: $77.5K–$78K is the short-term life-or-death zone. Fail to reclaim it, and this bounce is a trap. Reclaim it, and BTC may finally start repairing the structure. Do you think BTC reclaims $78K first, or retests $76K? Follow me if you want my next breakdown on the confirmation signals above $78K. I’ll keep tracking this 4H chart. Not financial advice. This is only my personal opinion.

  @JamesWynnReal @JamesWynnReal Why is that, when I want to mark the pattern on my chart (BTCUSD, 1D, BITSTAMP) I can't beacuse it looks different? For example, the period from Oct.16-Nov.10 does not fit the bottom line. Otherwise I support your idea.

  @stef_mulder I know 7 people who have blocked accounts at Bitstamp and 6 have already asked the CSSF for help, now the CSSF is handling it, people no longer have to deal with it, now the office in Luxembourg is handling it.

  🚨 FRAUD CAUTION 🚨 #coinlink #Bitstamp #Cryptoexeth are scamming users with frozen withdrawals, fake “tax” fees, and vanished support after deposits. ❌ Stay alert and stop all new payments immediately.

  As an exchange with such a deep and rich history around the XRP Ledger, why doesn't @Bitstamp support the XRPL version of @Ripple's RLUSD?

  @Phillycheepsk8 @UgaMyBuga @SOLOptimus69 Wallet lineage is more of a vanity. Uphold, Coinbase, Bitstamp, et. al. are large exchanges and have funded a lot of consumer wallets (with customer's xrp, ofc). We use activation tree to discover exchange hot/cold wallets. Beyond that, its just something that is good to look at.

  Robinhood Markets announced its November monthly operational data, with cryptocurrency nominal trading volume dropping to $28.6 billion (down 12% WoW, down 19% YoY), where the App side accounted for $12 billion, a staggering 66% YoY drop; Bitstamp contributed $16.6 billion, down 11% WoW. In addition, the company's cryptocurrency DARTs remained flat compared to last month but have almost halved YoY.

  @Bitstamp All customers need to look at Reddits complaints about withdrawals. Bitstamp needs to be sued for jerking people around. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ANY EXCHANGE. Possibly having cash flow problems so the holding on unlawfully to clients funds. IS THIS ANOTHER FTX COMING DOWN PIKE!!! Don’t use Bitstamp!!!

  @Bitstamp And at all, I don't want to write in DM. I want others to know about it, what an anti-customer approach you have.
