  @Bitstamp I had to choose the public channel to shame the support process followed/adopted by @Bitstamp to cater the customer. where customer is kept in complete darkness and is not responded properly / clearly making them suspect malicious intentions towards not returning the funds.

  Looking forward to the exchange announcement for @RaylsLabs this week. My guess is either @Bitstamp or @cryptocom. Bitstamp would signal regulatory alignment and institutional trust. Crypto(.)com would open the door to massive retail access. $RLS momentum primed 🔥

  Is #Bitcoin oversold now? Let’s use a 6-months chart and see what indicators tell us. A 6-month candlestick view of Bitcoin (BTC/USD) on Bitstamp, sourced from #TradingView It shows a clear downward trend over the period, with the price dropping significantly from highs around $120,000 (visible at the left/start of the chart) to the current level of approximately $67,431 USD. Key Observations from the Chart: •  Starting point (about 6 months ago, roughly early September 2025): BTC peaked near $120,000, marking what appears to be a local or extended all-time high (ATH) zone following a strong bullish run. •  Trend pattern: The price formed a prolonged downtrend with a series of lower highs and lower lows. Candles show: •  Early strong red (bearish) candles as it rolled over from the peak. •  Multiple red-dominant bodies with wicks indicating selling pressure and failed recovery attempts. •  Occasional green candles (brief bounces), but they were short-lived and unable to reclaim prior levels. •  The slope is steep initially, then gradually flattening toward the right, suggesting the decline may be slowing or entering a consolidation phase at lower levels. •  Current price: Marked at $67,431 USD, with the chart highlighting a -40,829 USD drop, equating to -37.71% over the past 6 months. •  Support levels: Recent action hovers around the low $60,000s to high $60,000s (based on the dotted line and recent candles), with some wick extensions lower but quick recoveries. •  Overall structure: This reflects a classic bear market correction after a parabolic run-up, with momentum clearly favoring sellers until very recently. Current Context (as of March 7, 2026): Bitcoin is trading around $67,000–$68,000 USD across major sources (e.g., ~$67,400–$67,900 on TradingView, CoinMarketCap, Yahoo Finance, etc.), with minor intraday fluctuations (down ~1% in the last 24 hours in many reports). This aligns closely with your chart’s labeled price. The 6-month loss of ~37–39% (consistent across sources) confirms the bearish phase shown. BTC hit an ATH near $126,000 in October 2025, so the current level represents a substantial pullback of roughly 45–47% from that peak. Summary Analysis: This chart illustrates a major correction in Bitcoin after its 2025 bull run peak. The relentless downward pressure over 6 months wiped out a large portion of gains, driven likely by factors such as profit-taking, macroeconomic pressures (e.g., interest rates, risk-off sentiment), regulatory news, or post-halving cycle dynamics (though the exact catalysts aren’t visible on the chart alone). At present, BTC appears to be stabilizing in the mid-$60,000s after the steep fall, with reduced volatility in recent candles compared to the earlier sharp drops. This could signal the late stages of the correction or the beginning of a base-building phase before any potential reversal — but confirmation would require sustained higher lows, increased volume on up moves, or breaking above key resistance (e.g., $70,000–$80,000 range). If you’re holding or considering entry, this is a classic “buy the dip” setup in historical BTC cycles, but with high risk given the ongoing bearish structure. Always DYOR and consider broader market conditions! What specific aspect (e.g., technical patterns, potential targets, or news drivers.

  5) Bitstamp price hit $76,003, down $1,370 (-1.77%). An intraday rejection below $77K triggered a "mechanical breakdown": stop-loss activation below $77K, trend-following algorithms switching to short, leveraged long liquidations, and panic amplified by negative news.

  @Bitstamp All customers need to look at Reddits complaints about withdrawals. Bitstamp needs to be sued for jerking people around. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ANY EXCHANGE. Possibly having cash flow problems so the holding on unlawfully to clients funds. IS THIS ANOTHER FTX COMING DOWN PIKE!!! Don’t use Bitstamp!!!

  @Bitstamp @BitstampUK @BitstampSupport what is going on with your platform? I was asked for KYC information, no problem, provided. Then asked for information relating to a recent deposit. No problem provided. Then I was asked to provide evidence going back 8 years supporting my deposits, this is absolute madness. My account is blocked. I can’t withdraw my own funds. I have only ever paid in fiat from 1 account, and repaid to that 1 account. There is no reason to block my account. What you are doing is breaching regulations. I have called every day for 4 days, now all my tickets are gone as well. Nobody answering anything.

  @Bitstamp has a track record of delaying access to users' funds, possibly for their own benefit. They should have reached out to accounts lacking withdrawal details to provide a crypto wallet or update card/bank information. Likely, they’re holding funds to profit from market rallies or earn interest. $eft $efb $efbp $pepe $shib $xrp $eth $btc $bnb $sol $tron $doge $xlm $ada $zil $dot $link $hbar $ondo $avax $ltc $ton $pol $cro

  Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas) reported 48 minutes ago

  Ironically, the more 'compliant' the exchange, the more I worry about the problems they'll cause me. Bitstamp bombarded me with extra SoF documents and wallet address verifications. Want to switch to Coinbase but worried it'll be the same or worse. How common are proof-of-wealth / source-of-funds requests on Coinbase these days? Coinbase already closed my account once. Since creating a new one I worry to actually use it. Btw Binance, Bybit, and OKX (before it moved to OKX EU).... not a single issue since 2017. CS is great, no extra documentation requests, just KYC doc updates. But Binance has been shady with their listings, pumps & dumps etc. Not really a fan anymore. Also for fiat in/out, banks probably prefer Coinbase... Is Kraken any better? Their fiat deposit limits are relatively low and they won't raise them for me. Not a great sign. Thoughts?

  Four “features” I want to see Robinhood ( $HOOD ) implement @vladtenev @RobinhoodApp International Markets: Open up Europe, Japan, UK, and Canada to US users. Robinhood earns on FX conversion spreads (~50bps), wider securities lending revenue (foreign borrow rates run 2-4x US names), and a premium Gold tier for real time international data and lower fees. Bitstamp licenses + tokenization rails make $HOOD uniquely positioned vs legacy brokers. Forex Trading: Direct currency pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/JPY etc.) with 24/5 access. Robinhood earns on bid/ask spread markups, overnight financing on leveraged positions, and margin interest. Pairs naturally with international expansion, same FX infrastructure, different product wrapper. High margin and recurring revenue. Again can offer lower fees for gold members. Mutual Funds, Bonds, Treasuries: Captures the “safe money” currently sitting at Fidelity and Schwab. Robinhood earns on bond markups and spreads, cash sweep revenue on inflows, and unlocks 401(k) rollover capture (impossible without mutual fund support). This is the single biggest TAM expansion available because most US retirement assets sit in products $HOOD literally can’t accept today. Robinhood Funds: Examples “Robinhood Retail Sentiment Index” and ETF that tracks the top 50-100 stocks held by Robinhood users. “Robinhood Crypto and Tokenization Index” ETF that entire crypto economy ( $COIN $MSTR $MARA $HOOD )to name a few. Robinhood would make margin on expense ratios.
