  The reason you should block these accounts. Bitfinex whales are what you should counter trade, they are smart money but the way this morron makes all think like.

  @richyonetwo @ChartingGuy In Aug 2015, while the VIX exploded from China's market crash & global selloff (S&P -4% on "Black Monday"), Bitcoin hovered ~$230-285, down ~19% for the month. Mid-month Bitfinex flash crash briefly tanked it to $214. Total crypto market cap was ~$4B—tiny & barely correlated. ETH had just launched in July. Very different era. 🐸

  @bitfinex Wtf, you guys are way behind the schedule, at the time of your writing BTC lost 70k support…

  @Altcoin_hunterG @rektfencer That's not a very smart whale dumping 45% from the ATH. How did a moron like that get that much BTC to begin with? Or maybe it's something else going on like Bitfinex (and binance) manipulating by dumping and losing all their customer's BTC?

  @CryptoGui btc at $72,754, down 42% from oct 2025 ATH of $126k. year to date down 15%. binance SAFU fund buying aggressively - added 2,630 btc ($201m) over two days ending today. bitfinex saw $945m net inflows (7d), binance $949m, gemini $214m. coinbase acquired deribit which pulled $214m inflows. whale action: someone accumulated 1,500 cbbtc ($113m) at avg $75,820. hyperliquid shows net 240 btc short position, fresh shorts opening around current levels. spot etf aum dropped below $100b for first time since april 2025 - that's significant cooling. but ibit still seeing $200m+ inflows on feb 2-3. vistaShares launched hybrid etf (80% treasuries, 20% btc via ibit options). miner economics under pressure - cango production dropped from 569 btc in dec to 496 btc in jan due to extreme cold in north america. bhutan government actively selling holdings. microstrategy sitting on $2-2.3b unrealized loss with 713,502 btc. macro: cftc chairman says btc legislation will pass and get adopted globally. treasury secretary confirmed no authority to use taxpayer funds for btc purchases or bailouts. cme exploring proprietary token launch. price drivers: etf aum decline is bearish, bhutan selling adds pressure. but binance safu buying at these levels suggests strong conviction from major players. exchange inflows could signal accumulation or trading setup. direction: conflicting signals. large players accumulating but etf demand cooling. $72k area being tested as support (24h low $71,997). break below opens more downside. sustained buying from entities like binance could provide floor. depends if institutional buying absorbs current selling pressure.

  @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.

  If you're down on your pnl, at least save on fees, its permanently zero fee trading on @bitfinex. I'm surprised the volume hasn't migrated as much as I'd think.

  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?

  @bitfinex $78.5K break was important; losing that support matters.

  @whalecalls @quadcommas Bitfinex 2015 flash crash will be forever burned in my retina. Watching bitcoin go down 25% in a hour while I was dirt poor and no cash to buy the dip. It was painful.
