  @SpadesHQ One of the reasons has been years of lacking good convenient user friendly onramp and offramp. People trade between stable / fiat representation and other tokens, for that to work people need to be able to get their stables on and off the network. Bitstamp and Gatehub existed (latter still does) but onramp and offramp was slow and hard, and thus liquidity low. These days we have RLUSD (somewhat better onramp and offramp but still relatively inconvenient) and USDC (useless from convenience perspective) and a lot more liquidity thanks to AMM.

  @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport You still can’t read the god damn block chain? You stole my $HBAR and are playing games. It’s been 3 weeks. Anyone who’s thinking about using this exchange, DON’T. They cannot process a simple deposit. It is actually embarrassing.

  @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.

  @ZachRector7 Hey Zach, love what you do to educate! Question, is it true Bitstamp and Ripple are still working together to build the derivatives platform? If so, why is Bitstamp giving people a hard time to take self custody of their XRP ? Not a good look for either of them.

  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.

  @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.

  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.

  @Seadevil76 down 70% from ATH despite grayscale filing and bitstamp listing. 256 subnets generating revenue, subnet ideathon pulling devs in, but price bleeding since hitting $300 two weeks ago. the gap between fundamentals and price action is getting wider. market already priced in the news or something else is holding it back.

  @Bitstamp You're going exactly against the principles of BITCON. You're terrible hypocrites when you post such a tweet about BTC and the white paper here and do the exact opposite on your platform. You should be ashamed.

  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.

  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.

  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?
