    @TheBTCTherapist All I'm gonna say is I watched the top unfold live. Coinbase just crashed and it was all red for a few seconds before CB going down for a few minutes. EPIC. I then logged in on Bitstamp to buy the dip. No sleep that night.

    With all of this “CT is dead” talk, let’s remember what happened each time the market slowed down and people gave up. Out of the deep 2014-2015 bear came Coinbase, Bitstamp, OKX, and a ton of cryptonative startups, for the first time. Out of the deep 2018-2020 bear came Binance, Aave, Uniswap and OpenSea, and many others. Out of the 2022 bear came Bybit, Solana, Jito, Raydium, Pendle, Pudgy Penguins, LayerZero, and many others. Out of the 2025 market came Hyperliquid, Lighter, Abstract, and many others still cooking. This isn’t the worst market conditions by any means; the sentiment far outweighs the reality to the downside. With Bitcoin, Ethereum and others having a placement on the NYSE and NASDAQ, it’s extremely unlikely to see the same drawdowns we saw in the past on majors. Most money in the financial markets isn’t people investing their own money…it’s funds operating in decades timeframes accumulating positions over years, not in market orders. It is true that the easy times to rotate are over for now. But the real builders have just begun. And the real capital rotation has just begun.

    @MandelDuck Congrats! And if you fixed your poor support that would also be much appreciated. I can't log-on w/ bitstamp. Cleared cache, reinstalled and no difference. Account issue detected, contact support and there I just get llm answers. Luckily I don't keep much in custodial wallets

    @Bitstamp And at all, I don't want to write in DM. I want others to know about it, what an anti-customer approach you have.

    @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.

    @rektspecter @AshCrypto That Bitstamp ETH chart shows thin volume and wild wicks, typical of low liquidity periods where market makers aren't providing tight spreads. No widespread glitches reported today—ETH is trading around $2,054 USD now, up 0.9% in 24h but down 19% weekly. Might just be a quiet trading window.

    @CasiTrades @jawadmahsud2 It depends which exchange you use for charting XRP bc binance doesnt have that first wave to $3.30. So binance just finished 5 full waves.. but bitstamp and others have that first wave so it makes these 5 waves all apart of just Wave 3. So how do we know which one to use?.. we need more development in this correction to know if its targeting the 382 support or deeper levels

    @Degen_dreamer21 @tarsprotocol AI agent marketplace on Solana with NVIDIA and Solana Foundation backing. down 90% from ATH at $0.045 but up 12% last 24h. partnerships are solid (Google Play, Revolut, Bitstamp via Robinhood). tech thesis is AI agents discovering and paying each other on-chain. small $26M mcap means high beta to AI narrative momentum. x402 payment standard integration could be the catalyst if their 9 month marketplace build actually ships

    @PureElliottWave Amazing ! Just a little annotation: The Bitstamp & Binance Chart is wrong about that massive Liquidation . It never fell that deep . Exchanges had some huge problems on that specific date . We didn’t have a 1Minute Candle closing under 1.80 .

    @Squirrelynest On the Bitstamp chart that TL shows it has not broken but rather testing the TL 🧐we shall see. My indicator I built just flashed buy for the 12 time over the total history in XRP so lets see could be some noise here

  • studybitcoins
    study bitcoins (@studybitcoins) reported

    Friday’s crypto crash was a pure market manipulation event designed to wipe out all the leverage. It wasn’t a panic selling and Tokens went down more than they were supposed to because of a glitch in the order book and CEX system failures. Bitcoin crashed to $102k on Binance but it held $108k on Bitstamp. Multiple people are speculating that it was an attack purposely targeted at Binance to cause a mass liquidation in alts, but no confirmation yet. Regardless, BTC and ETH are still holding above the bull market structure, and once BTC makes a new high at the end of Oct - early Nov, we will see ETH finally cross $5,000. Alts will recover until then, and ETH above $5k will boost confidence which will lead to billions flowing into the alt market, and our shitcoins will finally explode.

    @MaxCrypto The CVD breakdown makes the picture quite clear: the majority of the sell pressure during this leg down is Binance-driven, while flows on Coinbase, OKX and Bitstamp appear comparatively muted. This typically signals not broad market risk-off, but localized whale distribution, often aimed at triggering liquidity pockets below intraday support levels. Once Binance’s aggressive sellers push price into a thin zone, the move accelerates as stops and perp liquidations cascade, visible in the sharp drop toward $88.9K. From a market-structure perspective, this doesn’t yet resemble a macro trend reversal. It’s more consistent with inventory rotation by large players, exploiting weekend-level liquidity conditions ahead of U.S. close. The key metric to monitor now is whether CVD stabilizes and whether spot markets, especially Coinbase, begin absorbing. If spot buyers step in, this selling wave likely marks exhaustion rather than continuation. A retest of liquidity around $88.5K–$89K is plausible, but unless CVD continues to trend sharply lower across all exchanges (not just Binance), the probability of a sustained breakdown remains limited.

    @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.

    @stef_mulder I know 7 people who have blocked accounts at Bitstamp and 6 have already asked the CSSF for help, now the CSSF is handling it, people no longer have to deal with it, now the office in Luxembourg is handling it.

    🚨 FRAUD CAUTION 🚨 #coinlink #Bitstamp #Cryptoexeth are scamming users with frozen withdrawals, fake “tax” fees, and vanished support after deposits. ❌ Stay alert and stop all new payments immediately.

    I've been in cryptocurrency for many years and have been dealing with different platforms, and I can vouch that the most disastrous one is @Bitstamp. Don't even touch and visit their website, that's my one cent advice. They take your fund as a hostage and don't bother to even communicate with you. @TheFCA

    @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.

    @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.

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @mark1xL @coven_xx @saylordocs In 2015, converting 50,000 BTC (~$13M) to cash was feasible but challenging. You'd need to use exchanges like Coinbase or Bitstamp for sales, likely splitting into smaller batches to avoid liquidity issues or price slippage. OTC desks could help for large volumes. Banks often flagged crypto deposits due to AML/KYC rules, requiring proof of source and possibly tax reporting. It might take days to weeks, with fees and volatility risks.

    @VMuscatfm @tradingview @Bitstamp Thanks for flagging this. I checked live data: Bitstamp's BTC/USD is currently around 112,247 USD (as of 11:30 GMT, Oct 11, 2025), close to your chart's 112,109. No widespread lag reports today, but platform delays can occur. Suggest verifying on TradingView's status page or contacting their support directly for your setup. Always cross-reference multiple exchanges to avoid risks.

    Binance is still best CEX from user perspective. Listing choice aside. But truly… - super quick customer support - fast crypto and importantly EUR withdrawals - many chains supported - never asked for additional proof of wealth reports (Bitstamp tortured me for weeks recently) - no weird account closures - low fees Etc etc It’s still the north star for UX for crypto companies.

    BTC at $122K signals Uptober’s start, but volume is fading per Bitstamp data—up 2% WoW but down 15% from Sept peaks. This suggests consolidation before Q4 push. Key watch: ETF inflows (BlackRock IBIT up 20% MoM). What’s your take on resistance at $125K?

    @CastilloTrading You’ve been right…CVD down Binance, up coinbase, bitstamp and OKX…maybe the consistent Binance sell side pressure has been all about making themselves whole again post 10/10…
