CryptoPirate13 (@Crypto_Pirate13) reported@Matta_VA @MonicaLongSF Hiss bridge currency arguments are flawed: "No legal claim to underlying fiat or central bank settlement finality": Wrong because XRP via ODL uses atomic swaps with pre-funded fiat liquidity pools on both ends (e.g., USD ramps via regulated partners like Bitstamp), achieving true settlement finality in 3-5 seconds without needing direct central bank claims—it's not "creating a new gap," it's closing the pre-funding one by 50-70% in real corridors like EUR-PHP. "Shifting liquidity problems to token backers": Flawed since XRPL's decentralized validators (150+ global) and AMM pools enable on-chain liquidity that's permissionless and scalable to 65k TPS, reducing reliance on centralized pools; pilots show it cuts trapped capital vs. SWIFT's nostro/vostro accounts, not just relocates it. "Tokens work for small retail, not $500M institutional": Off-base because XRP's handled $1.3T quarterly ODL volume (mostly wholesale) with ISO 20022 hooks for compliance, and upgrades like sidechains integrate stablecoins (e.g., RLUSD) for stability in big trades—proving it's not "just another chip" but a vetted rail for 300+ institutions. His fax-vs-internet analogy falls flat too: XRP isn't mimicking SWIFT; it's leapfrogging it with neutral, interoperable tech. Classic incumbent shade. Scared man. Very scared.

AbsChud (@abschud) reportedWith 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, 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.

Jojo (@io53ph) reported@GoingParabolic I was recently converted when I tried to open a Binance account and was restricted due to being in the USA. Yesterday got a notice that Bitstamp wants proof of income. DEX is the future. Pick one DEX and go all in. I like Aster due to dark pools and CZ support

Anant Anand Gupta (@anantanandgupta) reported@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.

Deepy (@deepyonx) reported"I want to change my Email Address" Bitstamp: No problem, that will be 7 days of waiting time and 10 messages back and forth with support.

Infused 🟠💀 (@ExecutionVenue) reportedIf we break the low (Bitstamp: $BTCUSD source) I'll take profit in full into 108k target, look to short a bounce toward 115k. SL on that will be updated to the 61.8% measured off Oct 6th High of Day down to Oct 10th wick-low (around 116.6k) or wherever the lower low bounces from

aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reported@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

Alban D. (@AlbanDeprez) reported@Bitstamp @BitstampSupport Ticket #BIT-2261402 Still waiting! It’s ridiculous! You have no legit basis to withhold the funds of your customers like that. I’ve now read dozens of the same messages from other customers, proving this is how you operate. UNACCEPTABLE for a simple refund issue!

Pure Hopium (@purehopium) reportedBig wick down on $ETH / Bitstamp 😮 Exchange #anomaly or forecast of the #Ethereum future? 🤔

Bill E (@clenge_OBX) reportedCurious. Anyone else have any issues with Verifying an institution account with Bitstamp? I've been going back and forth with support for a month now and they are very slow to respond. As of now, I have cancelled my application as I'm afraid this would be a constant issue.

free ross ulbricht (@FreeUlbric16738) reported@Bitstamp @RobinhoodApp How long does It take to reply to a simple question made through a support ticket?!?
-
Jack (@modernmining_) reported@LusPedroCe53042 @Bitstamp @RobinhoodApp I doubt if they will respond to you here, you should write them on their telegram if you want a fast response… I had same problem with my account last week and it was resolved faster by their telegram team

Psibirskiy (@Psibirskiy) reported@PrecisionTrade3 I don't need to share what the count might be other than tell you that it's not this one. you're using Bitstamp which isn't the full data for one...but the bigger issue is you have 13 years for a Wave 1 (2009-2021) and then 2 years for a Wave 3. That just isn't a thing.

aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reported@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.

DawnOfTruth (@Dawn07249190172) reported@Bitstamp Think a lot of people are closing accounts and pulling money out for good. U may see a crash bigger than ever if this 💩 isn’t fixed immediately. Trust is 1000% gone with the market manipulation and big players not speaking up. Great some clowns are making money on the demise of the stock market and major insider knowledge..but it’s close to being a beyond repairable problem.

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Rob Pauley (@PauleyRob76961) reported@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.
