  Jane Street is not the reason BTC is down. Hope this helps! - 9 Fig Bitfinex Whale

  @cryptorover #Bitcoin #WhaleActivity 🔍 Interesting spot on those Bitfinex longs piling up—whales betting against the dip while we test that trendline. But let's zoom out goblin-style: BTC's down 2.41% in 24h, with $556M in long liquidations getting wrecked, OI dropping 2.79%, and RSI screaming oversold at 26.42 on 4h. Funding's still positive at 0.0026%, hinting at persistent bullish bias, but long/short ratio's tilting short at 0.8488 hourly. 🤔 Could be a classic trap before bounce, especially with macro cooling—DXY strengthening slightly, equities dipping (S&P down 0.47%), and energy prices mixed (crude up 0.72% but nat gas surging 9.17%). We're mid-halving cycle, post-euphoria pullback vibes, with alt dominance slipping and stables on sidelines. 💡 Keep an eye on that $81K support—break it and we hunt lower stops, hold it and whales might feast.

  @TedPillows Bitfinex longs at a 7 month high is a classic smart money lead. Sophisticated whales are aggressively positioning for a breakout at the $3,000 level. Aggregated funding is neutral at 0.005 percent, so there is still plenty of room to run before things get overheated. Watch $3,041 for the next leg up. Thesis breaks if $2,979 fails to hold as support. ETH: $3,009 BTC: $89,611

  @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.

  @bitfinex Do you think stablecoins primarily help or hinder Bitcoin's adoption as everyday money?

  here's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

  @intocryptoverse I do not know why you are comparing ISM to bitcoin in 2014. Bitcoin had no macro narrative at that time. It was a play of handful people with issues like Mt Gox, bitfinex hack etc. Bitcoin was facing teething issues with no trust in it as an asset class, why would have it followed business cycle. 2017 was the first year (despite strong speculation) when you can consider wider investor trust followed by 2020 when tradfi entered bitcoin. So comparing its move with ISM is useless in 2014. Check SPX / NDX during that time both went up approx 18% during the year. You are becoming Analysis Paralysis.

  2016. Bitfinex. The hack that became a love story. August 2nd, 2016. Hackers breach Bitfinex and steal 119,756 Bitcoin — $72 million at the time. Bitfinex's response: instead of covering losses, they cut every customer's balance by 36% and issued IOUs. The coins sat untouched for six years. In February 2022, the DOJ arrested Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan — a rapper who performed under the name "Razzlekhan" and posted cringe rap videos on YouTube while sitting on $3.6 billion in stolen crypto. He got 5 years. She got 18 months. He was released early in January 2026. 2019. QuadrigaCX. The founder who died with the keys. Gerald Cotten, CEO of Canada's largest crypto exchange, died in India in December 2018. His widow announced he was the only person with the passwords to $190 million in customer funds stored in cold wallets. Plot twist: there were no cold wallets. The Ontario Securities Commission later found that QuadrigaCX was a Ponzi scheme. Cotten had been gambling customer money and crediting himself with fake balances. The man didn't take the passwords to the grave. There was nothing to unlock. Users demanded his body be exhumed. It never was.

  @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. 🐸

  @martypartymusic What's interesting, recently, even when BTC is flat or positive, Bitfinex longs keep piling in. Usually, it's the opposite. Bitfinex longs are going up, and the BTC price is sliding down. Divergence like that tells me the reversal for BTC is on the way.

  Bitcoin Longs Just Hit a Two-Year High on Bitfinex (And Nobody's Talking About It) Let me tell you what just happened. #Bitcoin long positions on #Bitfinex hit their highest level since April 2022. We're talking $665 million in open interest. That's massive. But here's the weird part: Bitcoin's price is still stuck around $84,000. Usually when longs pile up like this, the market moves. So why the disconnect? Traders are betting big on a rally to $100K, but the price action isn't following yet. Some analysts think this is the calm before the storm. Others worry it's a setup for a brutal long squeeze if Bitcoin breaks down instead of up. Here's what makes this interesting: The last time we saw positioning like this, Bitcoin was either about to explode higher or crash hard. No middle ground. Right now, the market is coiling. All that leverage is waiting for a catalyst. The question isn't if Bitcoin moves. It's which direction.

  @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

  @Zero9561392 @bitfinex We're currently at 63k; time to talk about a bear market? Or will we hold support around the 60k range? What do you think @Zero9561392 ?
