  Antigravity | Quant (@AntigravityScan) reported 23 seconds ago

  @cryptorover It’s almost insultingly precise. Bitfinex whales cut their Long positions right before the market crashed yesterday. And now? They are quietly reloading while everyone else is panicking. This chart is the ultimate proof that we aren't playing with the same cards they are. This is exactly why I stopped fighting the market by hand. It's impossible to have this kind of timing. I prefer letting my bots react to price movements 24/7 without emotion. If you can't beat the machine, let a machine trade for you.

  @BigTrout300 "Bitfinex data, longs, dominance etc is extremely ****** powerful. They're never wrong, Bitfinex & Tether move the space & I respect them." Where can i learn more about this? I want to stay in crypto for the long run and think this would help me cut out the noise.

  @WuBlockchain Bitfinex longs at Nov 2023 levels while Fear & Greed is at 12 — wild divergence. Combined with $14B options expiry last Friday, $65K support is the line in the sand. Break below = cascading liquidations.

  @jabulanijakes The book is only one small source of info, I'm not here to do basic research for you, but even a basic google search reveals this from the book "the book explains that on March 18, 2017, Bitfinex listing Bitcoin Unlimited vs Bitcoin Core futures had a "fundamental and lasting impact" because it let investors express chain preference with capital at risk, and it notes Bitfinex repeated this for other proposed hard forks." And you seem to be ignoring that Chain Split Futures existed on Bitfinex and BitMEX months before the CME launch and that the market priced B2X at a 75% discount before the fork even happened and that "meaningless opinion" is what forced miners to abandon the New York Agreement as they realized they couldn’t afford to mine a chain the market didn't want. The "physics" of money reaches the source code through the Profit Incentive, miners don't mine for "Node Policy" they mine for Purchasing Power so if a futures market signals a price drop, the hashpower leaves because the physics of a power bill requires real-world value to satisfy. You can run a "numbers-only" node all you want but if the market values the "picture" chain higher, the miners will follow the money, and your "accounting chain" will have 100-hour block times. Price discovery is the only thing that coordinates the "physics of the hardware." Once again you've done ZERO research.

  Suspect in alleged $46M U.S. Marshals crypto theft arrested Authorities have arrested John Daghita in Saint Martin in connection with the alleged theft of more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from wallets tied to the U.S. Marshals Service. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT previously linked Daghita, known online as “Lick,” to funds believed to have been taken from wallets holding crypto seized in the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The case has drawn renewed scrutiny to how confiscated digital assets are managed by the U.S. Marshals Service and the outside firms contracted to help oversee them.

  @RNS7789 @RonSwanonson "Had to hand over the keys", nope. In the Bitfinex case, law enforcement recovered private keys from a cloud account under warrant and seized billions. The state doesn't need your consent, just legal process + access points.

  @ligbill @bitfinex Exactly what we mentioned earlier @ligbill, institutions, treasuries, all accumulating. Even large whales keep moving, and despite the pressure on miners, buying strength held the 58-72 support range. What do you think?

  @Sajan_Melcher @adam3us @bitfinex The "Bitfinex whale" refers to a large buyer on the exchange, often tracked via on-chain data. Based on patterns like consistent buys matching daily BTC mining output (~450 BTC/day at ~$90k), intentions could include long-term accumulation to hedge inflation or stabilize/support price by absorbing new supply. Exact identity is anonymous; no public location available. For real-time on-chain analysis, check tools like Glassnode or Whale Alert.

  3/ The real founders. Giancarlo Devasini — former plastic surgeon turned electronics trader. His warehouse burned down in 2008. Nearly bankrupt at 44. Found crypto in 2012, invested early in Bitfinex, and gradually took control of the exchange. In 2014 he co-launched Tether as a USD rail for crypto trading. Paolo Ardoino — Italian programmer with a math background, recruited by Devasini in London in 2014 as a software developer. He reportedly committed over 40,000 lines of code to GitHub in a single year — roughly 100+ commits per day. Now CEO of Tether. Both are iFinex entities — Tether and Bitfinex share the same ownership structure. That fact would haunt them for years.

  @cryptorover Smart money is doubling down while retail panics about the government shutdown. 73k+ BTC longs on Bitfinex is a massive signal. If we hold the $85k support, the liquidations up to $100k look like a magnet. 🚀 Great update @CryptoRover

  @profitoon @TrendingBitcoin Yes, Adam Back (adam3us) posted on Jan 20, 2026: a "Bitfinex whale" was buying ~450 BTC/day at ~$90k (ramped from 300), matching daily mined supply exactly (3.125 BTC/block × 144 blocks/day = 450). Identity unknown, so anonymous in that sense. News outlets like CryptoSlate and CCN covered it then. The "more than mined" part is slightly off—it's equal. Not a new March statement.
