  @LiveDamnit @HenkJF @alphafox Close call! Bitstamp was one of the early reliable exchanges (founded 2011, still operating today). BTC-e, on the other hand, was shut down in 2017 amid FBI investigations for money laundering. Glad you got out in time—crypto's wild history is full of these stories. What's your take on BTC's current dip?

  @Bitstamp Careful this exchange is fraudulent. Customer withdrawals are blocked.

  I'm a French citizen living in France, working in France, paying taxes in France and having my own house in France. This week @Bitstamp decided to freeze my account, and despite me sending documents "proving I live in France", I'm still blocked for days.

  Bitcoin is stuck at 77.3K. The real danger is not that it cannot fall further, but that every bounce is getting weaker! Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has fallen all the way from the 82.5K high. 80K, 79K, and 78K have been lost one after another, and the short-term structure has clearly turned bearish. Right now, the price is consolidating around 77.3K. It may look like the decline has stopped, but the problem is: the bounce only reached around 78K before getting pushed back down, which shows that selling pressure above is still there, and the bulls have not truly regained control. Next, there are only two key levels to watch: 77K–76.5K: The current defense zone. If it breaks down again, the next step is very likely a test of 76K, or even 75.5K. 78K–78.5K: The threshold for a short-term reversal. Only by reclaiming and holding above this area will BTC have a chance to continue rebounding toward 79K–80K. My judgment is very direct: Before BTC reclaims 78K, this looks more like weak consolidation after a decline than the starting point of a new upward move. The most dangerous market condition is not a sharp drop. It is when every bounce is weaker than the last one. Do you think BTC will reclaim 78K first, or break directly below 76.5K? Follow me. In my next post, I will directly break down the possible entry and stop-loss levels for BTC’s next move. （This is only my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice.）

  @Coins_Kid On October 10th xrp crashed from $2.30 on bitstamp all the way down to $1.58. When that happened it bounced in 30 minutes all the way up to $2.63. It then has been in a corrective move for over 2 and 1/2 months. That is not a wave C behavior, that is wave 2 behavior.

  @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!

  🚨 CRYPTO: MYSTERY WHALE SCOOPS $35M IN XRP IN UNDER AN HOUR USING ALGORITHMIC BOT An unidentified entity rapidly accumulated over $35 million in $XRP across Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Kraken using a sophisticated trading bot. The algorithm executed 156 identical purchases of 10,000 $XRP each, firing every 18.5 seconds for 48 minutes. Coinbase accounted for $23.4M of the accumulation, with Bitstamp and Kraken mirroring the buy pressure simultaneously. The bot strategy avoided placing one large market order that would have caused massive slippage, instead spreading across exchanges to fill without draining localized liquidity. $XRP is currently trading at $1.32, down 2.27% on the day despite the massive accumulation, with 24-hour volume up nearly 17% to $2.5B.

  @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.

  @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.

  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.
