  @Bitstamp Today makes it 116 days, 16 weeks 4 days of @Bitstamp holding my funds and they kept telling me they are waiting for feedback from their “bank” how does a bank feedback take 2 weeks? Am expecting another generic message from them today and they will tell me they are still working on it lol, avoid this company at all cost

  @Bitstamp is holding my assets hostage. •Account previously verified •Allowed to deposit & trade •Mid-position they demanded new docs •I complied •Now over a week: no access, no withdrawals, no timeline That looks a lot less like compliance and a lot more like forced market exposure.

  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.

  MT GOX MOVES 10,422 BITCOIN WORTH $739 MILLION TO UNMARKED ADDRESS IN LARGEST SINGLE TRANSFER IN MONTHS The Mt. Gox rehabilitation estate moved 10,422.65 bitcoin worth approximately $739 million from cold storage to two new addresses at 04:47 UTC on Tuesday, recorded in Bitcoin block 952,072, marking the estate’s largest single on-chain transfer in months and arriving with creditors watching closely ahead of an October 31, 2026 final repayment deadline. Of the total, 10,306.35 BTC worth approximately $730.8 million was sent to a previously unseen address beginning with 14FEEM, with no prior transaction history. A smaller 116.3 BTC was routed simultaneously to a known Mt. Gox hot wallet. A second transaction at approximately 06:46 UTC moved another 116.3 BTC to a separate address, along with a small test amount to a Bitstamp cold wallet. Blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence data showed all transferred bitcoin remained marked as unspent, with no funds reaching exchange order books in the hours following the transfer. Mt. Gox still holds approximately 34,504 BTC valued at roughly $2.43 billion, the largest unresolved holding tied to any failed cryptocurrency exchange. Trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi extended the repayment deadline twice, with a Tokyo court approving the most recent extension in October 2025 pushing the cutoff to October 31, 2026 due to incomplete creditor procedures. The rehabilitation process began distributing coins to approximately 19,500 creditors in mid-2024 through partner exchanges including Kraken and Bitstamp. Creditors who held claims since the 2014 collapse acquired their coins at prices far below current market levels, meaning any eventual distribution creates potential selling pressure. Tuesday’s transfer is the estate’s largest since internal consolidation movements in late 2025, none of which preceded confirmed selling. On-chain data confirmed no exchange inflows attributable to the Mt. Gox wallets in the hours after Tuesday’s transfer, consistent with prior administrative consolidations. The movement arrived during a sharp Bitcoin sell-off already driven by record ETF outflows, Strategy’s first disclosed Bitcoin sale since 2022, and stalled U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations.

  I'd like to give you guys a TA update, but here's the problem: $BTC and #Altcoins flash crashed to very different levels on various exchanges. E.g., Bitcoin tapped $100K on Kraken, $107K on Coinbase, $109K on Bitstamp. SUI tapped $0.16 on Kraken, $2 on Coinbase. I think that this move won't recover in a prompt V-shape to new ATHs as many hope. In my opinion, it's more likely that the wicks get filled to at least their 50% levels before a potential reversal. And that's the main problem: which exchange's data do you use as a reference point for marking those levels now? In my opinion, this will take weeks to stabilize. Happy to be wrong and enter new swing long trades on a bullish market structure shift on the 4H chart before, but this is the way I see the market currently. There's no rush to jump into positions already. You can wait for more data (candles) and a clear trend shift.

  @JamesWynnReal @JamesWynnReal Why is that, when I want to mark the pattern on my chart (BTCUSD, 1D, BITSTAMP) I can't beacuse it looks different? For example, the period from Oct.16-Nov.10 does not fit the bottom line. Otherwise I support your idea.

  @Geenstyl @CryptoNobler This screenshot from a crypto platform (likely Binance with Arkham data) shows BTC/USDT at $88,629.87, down 1.68%, with a short-term chart. The right panel lists recent on-chain BTC transfers from Wintermute's hot wallets to exchange deposits like Binance, Bitstamp, KuCoin, and OKX. Amounts range from ~4 to 196 BTC. Wintermute is a market maker; these moves are often for liquidity or trading, not necessarily selling. Recent X discussions note similar activity, sometimes alleging manipulation, but data shows routine flows. Check Arkham for real-time verification.

  Don’t Get Fooled by This Bounce — The Real Risk for BTC May Be Just Starting Don’t rush to call this green candle a reversal. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now trading around $77,300. Yes, it bounced from the $76K area, but the real problem is: It still has not reclaimed the key resistance zone. Previously, BTC dumped from above $82K and broke below: $80K $79K $78K That means the short-term structure has shifted from strong upside momentum into weak recovery mode. Right now, there is only one key zone to watch: $77.5K–$78K. If BTC can reclaim this area, the bounce may continue toward $78.8K–$79.5K. But if BTC fails here and gets rejected again, this move is likely just a technical bounce — or even a bull trap. The most dangerous signal is this: $78K used to be support. Now it has become resistance. That is one of the clearest signs of a weak structure. My view is direct: BTC is not in a safe reversal yet. It is bouncing inside a danger zone. There are only two scenarios from here: Reclaim $78K: The bounce can continue, with targets around $79K–$79.5K. Fail below $78K: The bounce may fail, and price could retest $76.5K–$76K. If $76K breaks again, the next stop could be $75K–$75.5K. So don’t get fooled by one green candle. The real signal is not that BTC bounced. The real signal is: Can it reclaim the key levels it just lost? My view is simple: $77.5K–$78K is the short-term life-or-death zone. Fail to reclaim it, and this bounce is a trap. Reclaim it, and BTC may finally start repairing the structure. Do you think BTC reclaims $78K first, or retests $76K? Follow me if you want my next breakdown on the confirmation signals above $78K. I’ll keep tracking this 4H chart. Not financial advice. This is only my personal opinion.

  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.
