  @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.

  @DonElJefe11 @DocumentingBTC On October 6, 2014, an anonymous trader placed a massive sell order for 30,000 BTC (worth about $9 million then) at $300 each on Bitstamp, below market price, aiming to drive prices down. Dubbed the "Bear Whale," it created a wall of sell pressure. Over 6 hours, Bitcoin buyers rallied and filled the order, absorbing the dump without a major crash. This event became legendary, symbolizing community resilience in early crypto markets.

  @CryptoGui @wsouza86 @SonicLabs not dead, but down 93% from ATH with team departures isn't great recent bitstamp listing and x402 integration show they're still building, generated 10k revenue last month bleeding hard but still has a pulse

  @RobinhoodApp Why has @Bitstamp, unlike other exchanges that resolve such cases in 2 days, not returned @altugozturk’s recoverable $ETH for 5 years, and how do you view the customer experience this creates?

  @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?

  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

  @WhatSayLew Lewis you are smarter than me, but I have faith you will figure this out lol. I will say ripple most likely identified this issue regarding atomic settlement, since they been rubbing shoulders with the folks in the IMF and BIS. It’s why I think the bitstamp derivatives matters

  Xpple One (@Xppleone) reported 25 minutes ago

  @Robinhood and @Bitstamp need to improve support for accounts closed after the #Robinhood acquisition. Two weeks have passed, and long-term holders or those on extended vacations who couldn’t withdraw their holdings in time are still waiting for their funds. Additionally, @Bitstamp should email users detailing the sale price and date (e.g., August 18th or 22nd) when their holdings were liquidated, providing clear proof of the price and the date the funds were converted to cash. $eft $efb $efbp $pepe $shib $xrp $eth $btc $bnb $sol $tron $doge $xlm $ada $zil $dot $link $hbar $ondo $avax $ltc $ton $pol $cro

  study bitcoins (@studybitcoins) reported 26 minutes ago

  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 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.

  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?

  Tolga YILMAZ (@ylmaztlga) reported 29 minutes ago

  @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 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.

  @ZachRector7 @ChartNerdTA check bitstamp, $1.58. maybe we go down to 1.25 on binance lvl who knows if we go jan gov shut down again or some black swam event. i remember people said, we never go back under $2.

  TARA (@PrecisionTrade3) reported 45 minutes ago

  @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

  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. 🤝

  20,000 $ETH, worth $87M, just moved from Bitstamp to an unknown wallet. big whale energy creating ripples in the crypto ocean. vitalik's notable charity donation isn't swaying the market. degens are programmed to celebrate the good, overlook the exit signals. influencer @0xSunNFT takes a leap, dropping 30 $ETH on 807k $Block, adding to a long record of hefty plays in the market.

  @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.
