  @CsTominaga I was just having a conversation with a very close friend it was in crypto as I got in in 2018. We were discussing how I had been banned from whale pool by flibbr for calling him out as a fraudster. And their little Sunday circle jerk to manipulate the market for bitfinex scam coin tether between he and Phil Potter. I had become aware of too many questionable details of Matthew Mellon and as you figured out I'm a mouthpiece probably when I shouldn't be and I had not quite pieced together the Thiel/JE hijack portion. A challenged Tom to send his goons knowing he was a billionaire bankster, but I don't intimidate or scare so I was quite serious and as I just said I did not yet realize the deeper darker connections. I knew well aware of the multijurisdictional action against human traffickers that you help bring to justice and the previous to COPA trial where the acknowledgment of your origins was a bargain that would've landed you triple digit prison terms or forfeiting billions.… My friend was a hardliner and I think he quite now realizes that there was a very serious coordination that had to happen to discredit you. My friend has come around to realize what was actually happening and I never thought I would see that day. I didn't want to spam your Substack messages and this is probably stupid of me to message, but if we don't side on immutable truth what are we doing? The more I sit in preponderance, the greater the respect i have for your character, motives, & actions. Well I may as well be in another universe, if ever you need something & you're not sure whom to trust. People will silence the truth over my dead body. All I have is my word, but I'm here for the steadfast & honourable. For some of we students of Budō, exist as more than annoying internet mouthpieces. LVX. BitCoin. Brotherhood. 👊🥋 Anytime. I need nothing. 🫡

  @IcoMarketer @bitfinex A new support at 78k–80k would be interesting. We could have a very short bear market. What strategy are you adopting, @IcoMarketer?

  🚨 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.

  LEO is poking above $10.04, but I’m not calling it a clean breakout yet. Price is at $10.05, trend is clearly up, and the Bitfinex buyback/burn story is real. Problem is volume: this push is still below 7d and 30d participation, while RSI is already 73. I like it if $10.04 holds and buyers actually show up. Lose that, and it probably drops back into range.

  @bitfinex @paoloardoino @CRYPTO101Pod "Volume up, customer base up". Yeah, and? No fees, remember? The only saving grace could be if you're taking a cut from the lending market. If that's the case, bravo.

  Capitulation or bull trap? Bitfinex whales defy the #bitcoin sell-off and open record positions bitcoin:native is at a critical crossroads after five consecutive days of losses (May 15–19), marking its second-worst losing streak so far this year. The asset has retreated from the $80,000 range to around $76,000, dragged down by widespread weakness in the markets. However, behind the scenes, the big players are executing a move with strong conviction. 🧵

  @NobodyonXI Never say never I'd say. Bitfinex and Tron...y not? But personally would wonder a lot in case Tether collapses. Too important for evil money and too big. Maybe a huge depeg and that's it? But yeah never say never. FTX was also big. And after it had served its purpose it was shot down. And we now have USDC so... Need to watch his stuff about in detail! Saw he posted a lot of very nice stuff about it and is very deep into it. I'm not that deep into it. The stuff here that's it more or less

  @Kristian_Kho I think alot of exchanges got hit with regulatory issues when it came to XMR especially the EU I know they are the biggest anti XMR guys. Do you know where bitfinex is based ? maybe that explains why

  @bitfinex Miners sell. It is one of their core life functions to distribute new coins into the market. Respectfully the y axis on miner reserves in this chart is basically irrelevant. Third decimal point type ****.

  @bitfinex fair read on reserves but sentiment this crushed with funding negative means shorts are comfortable here. that's not a safe spot to be short either. leg down is possible, so is a violent squeeze with no buyers on the ask

  @CryptoRank_io @bitfinex The golden era of holding exchange tokens just to farm launchpads and get trading fee discounts is officially on life support. 📉 When $BNB is bleeding out 25% YTD and the only thing keeping its head above water is $LEO at a modest +4.5%, you know the broader meta has fundamentally shifted. Between institutional ETFs vacuuming up passive retail capital and DEXs eating all the on-chain volume, the actual narrative utility for CEX tokens is taking a massive hit in 2026. We went from "deflationary burn mechanics make it ultra-sound money" to just praying for a break-even. The house doesn't always win, apparently!

  Crypto Fear & Greed Index: 16/100 — “extreme fear.” Bitcoin briefly broke $60K last week — worst stretch since FTX collapse in 2022. Now rebounding to $63,800. But Bitfinex warns: “Rallies are increasingly being sold rather than accumulated.” The structural problem hasn’t changed. Macro is restrictive. Rates are going higher. Bitcoin is a risk-on asset in a risk-off environment. 💰 YOUR MOVE: The $63,800 bounce is a relief rally, not a reversal. For the trend to change you need two things: Strait of Hormuz reopens (oil down, inflation pressure eases, Fed pause) or SpaceX IPO capital returns to crypto after the excitement fades. Neither is happening this week. If you’re long crypto, set a stop at $58,000. If you’re waiting to buy the dip — the structural floor is $52,000, not $60,000. @Blackintus

  Bitcoin hit $71k+ on Iran ceasefire relief, but the rally is turning cautious for 3 clear reasons: • Bitfinex leveraged long positions are stuck near multi-year highs (80,057 BTC) — classic contrarian signal that hasn’t unwound despite the 15%+ bounce from $60k. • Muted U.S. institutional demand — Coinbase Premium Index is flipping between premium and discount (no strong buying conviction). • Crypto stocks barely moving (Coinbase +1.5%, MicroStrategy +3%) while Nasdaq/S&P rip higher. We yet to see real institutional conviction. Do you think $BTC will break the $70k support zone or this is just a market pump due to noise?

  @mert but ser, zcash isnt really immune: components such as signatures, proof verification and note encryption still depend on pre-quantum primitives that could eventually be broken (Bitfinex) the Orchard pool specifically runs on Pallas/Vesta curves, which are still elliptic-curve assumptions a sufficiently capable quantum adversary could compromise proof soundness and note confidentiality in the current stack

  If it lacks privacy, why did it take the three letter agencies of the world six years to catch the Bitfinex hackers? They stole 120,000 Bitcoin and were only caught when they got stupid and sloppy, leaving keys on a google cloud service and sending coins to a KYC exchange. Government money only exists because of gold’s limitations. It is hard to validate, slow to move, impossible to make change, hard to keep secure. Bitcoin has none of those limitations. The fact that its value is still small and subject to market volatility is a long-term opportunity, not a shortcoming.

  @_MoarDonuts_ The $12.1B ETF flow is the structural break nobody's pricing in. Prior cycles, marginal buyer was leveraged retail on Bitfinex. This cycle, it's RIA allocators rebalancing quarterly into $IBIT. Different buyer, different hands, different drawdown profile. Funding's at 0% right now . that's not 2021 froth setting up a flush. Doesn't mean no drawdown. Means the shape changes. What's your line for "cycle is broken"?

  @WuBlockchain Perhaps Aave could issue tokens backed by a share of their future profits at say a 15% APY return? This is essentially what Bitfinex did to survive their 2016 hack.

  Suspect in alleged $46M U.S. Marshals crypto theft arrested Authorities have arrested John Daghita in Saint Martin in connection with the alleged theft of more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from wallets tied to the U.S. Marshals Service. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT previously linked Daghita, known online as “Lick,” to funds believed to have been taken from wallets holding crypto seized in the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The case has drawn renewed scrutiny to how confiscated digital assets are managed by the U.S. Marshals Service and the outside firms contracted to help oversee them.

  @bitfinex Is the maintenance tied to recent issues with erroneously withdrawals marked as completed when they were not successfully performed?
