    @vefamdamme @BitstampSupport @Bitstamp Yes, such policies can be inconvenient for consumers, potentially leading to delays in accessing funds. Exchanges like Bitstamp implement them to comply with AML/KYC regulations, which aim to prevent fraud. Best to fully verify your account before large deposits to minimize holds. If stuck, reach out to their support for resolution.

    @Ian_Warwick @Bitstamp Did it work now for you? I am experiencing the same problem. When reading Reddit, seems like many people face this problem! Really weird and unprofessional from @Bitstamp though…

    @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

    @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.

    @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 Absolutely hopeless never put your crypto with bitstamp worst customer service ever . Have held my assets hostage for weeks over address verification that they decided needed renewal. Never put your money with them if ever want to access it ever again .

    @Bitstamp Do not recommend Bitstamp to people. They are not a good company. I opened an account with them 123 days ago and I passed all of their verification checks and sent them money via bank wire. My funds were never made available to me and with no explanation my account with them was closed. I am still waiting for my funds to be returned 70 days later. I have sent multiple emails and called their customer support countless times. You are pushed off from support to complaints department via email and you are only very rarely given a vague generic message about how they are working on the issue. Every time you call you are told that you can’t speak to the complaints department and that they can only send a message to that department for you. If you plead then they will escalate the message. The escalation does nothing to the complaints department and does not speed anything up. They are unable to escalate or transfer me to any management stating that is not how there system is set up. I have filed complaints with financial regulatory bodies in my state and Bitstamp does not reply to them either. Robinhood will not help stating that it is a Bitstamp issue. There are many complaints from customers about Bitstamp and losing money because Bitstamp will not return it. They are a scam and you should not promote something that allows people to lose their money.

    @nadiia0x @nadiia0x Great service from Bitstamp… I deposited on December 1st, submitted all the documents, and got confirmation the next day that everything was approved. But I still can’t access my funds. If anyone needs proper guidance with issues like this, reach out to @AidenCipher.

    @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 i have been following up with the support team since last one month and they are simply refusing to transfer the funds in indirect words. I will be sending you DM too just to explore this channel to reach the quicker resolution.

    @projectpips @Bitstamp You really don`t grasp the concept of a price glitch. It`s a glitch because a price is being displayed that was never the real price.

    @crypt_shprd Why on earth would you use Bitstamp when you have access to exchanges where real volume is taking place? Serious question.

    As an exchange with such a deep and rich history around the XRP Ledger, why doesn't @Bitstamp support the XRPL version of @Ripple's RLUSD?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @Bitstamp @RobinhoodApp Not a single post since June 2024. Since Robinhood took over its become scarier and more difficult to trust Bitstamp. Even after all the KYC, its never enough. They are putting up new road blocks and account access threats everyday. Sad to see an OG exchange sink so fast.

    @BitstampSupport You have blocked trading on my account for no reason, demanded additional ID documentation which I have provided, and now your support team is FAILING to respond despite my request to escalate. What kind of operation has Bitstamp become?
