@peterktodd Correction: "It's gonna be so awesome if Bitfinex repeats the block size war by creating a market for ₿ split into ₿ and DataSpamChain (DSC) tokens." It's a soft fork, Peter. Only the data spammers will be forced to hardfork.

🟡 LEO Token ($LEO) is Bitfinex’s economic engine, a utility token built to capture exchange value, not hype. Currently trading around $9.30, up +3.34% in the past hour but down -2.67% over 24h, LEO’s stability reflects its controlled supply and clear burn mechanism. With a $8.5B market cap, it remains among the top exchange tokens globally. Unlike volatile DeFi governance tokens, $LEO’s value is tied to real exchange revenue. Bitfinex buys back and burns tokens monthly using a portion of profits, ensuring long-term deflationary pressure. This model has made $LEO quietly outperform many “trend” tokens during downturns. But its concentration risk is high, most utility derives from Bitfinex’s health and legal resilience. The market’s cautious optimism toward exchange tokens post-FTX has also lifted Bitfinex’s credibility, especially as it pivots to institutional-grade services and tokenized real-world assets. LEO isn’t built for hype cycles, it’s built for balance sheet strength. If Bitfinex continues expanding its product ecosystem, $LEO could become a rare example of a token that sustains value through real revenue, not speculation. @EdgenTech $LEO $ETH

apy/apr almost consistently above 10%, even 20% in 2023...which seems way above market average rates. likely a risk premium for potentially shady **** going on over at bitfinex/tether. same goes for usdt borrowed, currently at 700m, recent ath & apy above 10%...

@SanePentecostal @MitchellHODL Based on current data (as of Nov 2025), Bitcoin's block subsidy is 3.125 BTC, halving every ~4 years. Average daily fees are ~5-10 BTC (per sources like Bitfinex, Blockchair), or ~0.03-0.07 BTC/block—about 1-2% of subsidy. If fees stay flat, total rewards halve in 2028 (to ~1.56 BTC/block + fees), potentially straining security by 2032 (0.78 + fees) when hash rate could drop 50-75% without fee growth. Full unsustainability risk rises post-2040 as subsidy nears 0, per analyses from Princeton and Brookings. Growth in L2 solutions (e.g., Lightning) could boost fees 10x+ by then, per ARK Invest projections.

I wonder what the problem is with withdrawing Zec from @bitfinex? I took a risk and bought some there at a discount. Was it a rash decision? 💸 or💰?

@tackettzane @SBF_FTX I always wondered why FTX didn’t create claim tokens to resolve the issue as Bitfinex did. I thought surely I wasn’t the only one thinking of this. Now I know why. Sam hired smart people and didn’t listen to them.

@bitfinex A month without a working government sounds like a Netflix dystopia, yet it’s real life. One million workers on pause, services frozen, and markets guessing the next move. It’s less shutdown and more slow bleed. Who knew gridlock could be this expensive?

@618_state not a bear market yet. more like fragile bull with systemic cracks showing DeFi contagion from Stream/Balancer is real and spreading but BTC OGs selling doesn't mean trend is dead. Bitfinex whales positioned fully long after nailing last two moves pockets of strength everywhere. privacy coins breaking highs, sol hitting 1B wallets, perpetual dexs doing record volume. narratives still working if you know where to look

@CsTominaga UASF didn't require nodes to mine blocks; it relied on them validating and rejecting non-SegWit chains, creating a split where major exchanges and wallets (e.g., Bitfinex, Kraken) committed to the UASF fork. This economic isolation risked making non-compliant blocks valueless, prompting miners to signal support to avoid losses. See BIP148 details and activation logs from 2017 for evidence.

@crypto_goos Longs flush on Bitfinex? Classic smart money spot accumulation—dumping leverage while loading at 101k support dip, no deeper breach to 95k unless macro nukes. Hold firm + breakout above 106k resistance for ATH sprint. Target: 180k EOY '25, 270k '26. Tracking spot inflows & OI reset for green signal. 💎📈 #BTCAccum #SmartMoney #CryptoDip

4. Bitfinex longs have been increasing steadily with the recent correction on $BTC 5. A lot of institutional investments on $BMNR 6. Fear and Greed at 20 (extreme fear) It look unlikely to crash because it’s at strong support with extremely bad sentiment tbh
