    @oLevLovesLove @teortaxesTex That may well be. Most servers want your traffic and are happy to accept the VPN IP at face value. But try accessing Bitfinex or some site that is under heavy regulator scrutiny and you may have a different experience. Also why a VPN is not enough to play Pokerstars from the US.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @Leon_Vandenberg @ercwl The current "Running Knots" trend involves Bitcoin users switching to Bitcoin Knots node software, which includes filters to block spam like Ordinals/Inscriptions (seen by some as clutter or risks). Adoption surged to ~18% of nodes by Sep 2025, per sources like Bitfinex and CryptoSlate, amid debates on chain neutrality vs. filtering. Compared to past fork wars (e.g., 2017 block size debate leading to Bitcoin Cash split), this is less about consensus changes and more about mempool policies, but rising Knots use risks network splits if policies diverge, echoing ideological divides over Bitcoin's evolution.

    2016: +6.0% (Post-Bitfinex hack recovery plus early ETF buzz) 2017: –7.8% (China banned ICOs and ordered exchanges to shut down) 2018: –5.9% (NY Attorney General report on exchange manipulation shook people’s confidence)

    @Kira_Crypto247 Portal turns the lessons of Bitfinex into action trustless, noncustodial Bitcoin moves, safer DeFi access, and zero reliance on intermediaries

  • GordonSee4 Gordon See (@GordonSee4) reported

    Who are the major holders ("bag holders")? 1. Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator) Estimated ~1.1M BTC (never moved). 2. Exchanges (custodial wallets) Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bitfinex, Kraken etc. Combined: ~2–3M BTC (customer deposits).

    Some analysts are calling it neutral for now, which is crypto for “not sure if genius whale move or slow bleed to death.” Meanwhile, Bitfinex’s boys are whispering about a potential drop to $93K before the year-end fireworks even start. Real confidence booster, huh? next>

  • sowzeli sowzeli (@sowzeli) reported

    @paoloardoino tbh i haven’t seen anything from bitfinex over past few years with the success of tether, bitfinex somehow faded so i have no idea what you guys have been working on over the past few years😬

    i'm very sure FBI involved in darkweb deals, taking down all those large darkwebs was for what ? destroying links, records, destroying wallets every thing.. #Bitcoin #Bitfinex

  • MesoshiNFT Mesoshi Akamato (@MesoshiNFT) reported

    @bitfinex hi.. Why dont u resume the ZEC withdrwals?? We cant sell our ZEC bcz of that issue...

  • VU_virtuals Velvet Unicorn (@VU_virtuals) reported

    $PI unveils key KYC upgrade anticipating price defense, though facing weak on-chain money flow threatens all-time low if $0.334 support crumbles. 150M $USDT shifted from unknown wallet to Kraken and an additional 260M $USDT moved from Tether Treasury to Bitfinex. Pumpamentals stir as hyperliquid coin flexes its strength sans a DAT, showcasing raw market demand.

  • Hmm_Observer A Concerned Observer (@Hmm_Observer) reported

    @beyond_broke I doubt they nuke $USDT at this point. There was some interesting info unearthed during the BitFinex and Tether class action, but I guess if we are following all conspiracies, crypto pumps real high, Tether implodes and bring everything down, and XRP is $1000 overnight like the riddles claim. haha

    @bitfinex @LnfiNetwork Establish node channel with lnfi. Support bitfinex to list #LN token

  • BigTrout300 Big Trout (@BigTrout300) reported

    Only other scenario I see: Bitfinex Whale is Mass TWAPPING Long still So could we see an explosive rally in Sept-Early Oct? Raising price super high, so the comedown to a 50w SMA (2 weeks below marks Bear) doesn't happen TLDR: Raise Price Higher, Slow Bleed, 2026-27 Rally

  • styggen2 styggen (@styggen2) reported

    @adam3us @bitfinex oh sure things still happen - they're just setting up for the trading week is all and we might get wicks up/down on weekend but real action won't start until Tue

  • XVictorLilliam VICTOR. (@XVictorLilliam) reported

    2/4 • they already raised a ton of money and have support from big names like bitfinex tether and some major vc funds plus they are teaming up with projects like etherfi wildcatfi and even using crypto dot com custody

  • me15dz Yazi15 (@me15dz) reported

    @bitfinex has probably lost access to their #zcash cold wallet t1RRKgYb1bTmtUZvwqc3S5vLN5h8vke3xUY That'a why withdrawals of zcash are suspended and price is tradind lower than other markets.

    @John33496716707 @bitfinex Did you connect your wallet to unknown website?

  • BBurgosimvu Bernice Burgos. (@BBurgosimvu) reported

    @mattymaddog_89 @bitfinex Sorry you’re dealing with this. I went through the same thing and @Datafortisclf gave me solid legal support

  • 0xkyle__ Kyle (@0xkyle__) reported

    it's funny bc the dichotomy between tradfi & crypto is that they're all coming to use crypto onchain rails (stablecoins, defi, tokenization) yet majority of crypto natives still depend on centralized powers and have always (bitfinex, ftx, binance) i think the past 5 years have just been the slow move to onchain, and especially now it does feel like a lot of CEXes are not the place people want to ICO on anymore bullish

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @atellix @jameslavish Based on Sept 2025 data (e.g., Bitfinex, Cointelegraph analyses), we're in the post-2024 halving bull cycle, likely at a cyclical low with BTC around $105K-$110K support amid historical Sept weakness (avg -3.8% returns). Next significant move is likely upward, targeting $120K+ or ATH retest, driven by Fed rate cuts and ETF inflows. This could clarify in 4-6 weeks, though volatility risks persist. (348 chars)

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @Leon_Vandenberg @ercwl The Knots surge is notable but not yet at 2017 fork-war levels. Adoption hit ~18% of nodes by Sep 2025 (up from <1% in 2024), per Bitfinex and others, driven by anti-spam filters. Unlike the block size debate, which caused a hard fork (Bitcoin Cash), this focuses on mempool policies—no consensus split yet, but if it reaches 25-30%, it could force changes or divisions. Monitoring closely.

  • me15dz Yazi15 (@me15dz) reported

    @paoloardoino @bitfinex has lost access to zcash cold wallet is not a FUD.
