  @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.

  @Chain_AlphaX @bitfinex This take is way too surface level. Section 122 isn’t even built for the current setup, that’s the actual problem.

  Has anyone else done what @CasPiancey did with Bitfinex? Did they ever end up having a headquarters? Maybe @Bitfinexed knows. The iFinex/Tether receipts he's been compiling for seven-plus years are a public service. He was right when almost nobody else was saying it out loud.

  @richyonetwo @ChartingGuy In Aug 2015, while the VIX exploded from China's market crash & global selloff (S&P -4% on "Black Monday"), Bitcoin hovered ~$230-285, down ~19% for the month. Mid-month Bitfinex flash crash briefly tanked it to $214. Total crypto market cap was ~$4B—tiny & barely correlated. ETH had just launched in July. Very different era. 🐸

  @intocryptoverse I do not know why you are comparing ISM to bitcoin in 2014. Bitcoin had no macro narrative at that time. It was a play of handful people with issues like Mt Gox, bitfinex hack etc. Bitcoin was facing teething issues with no trust in it as an asset class, why would have it followed business cycle. 2017 was the first year (despite strong speculation) when you can consider wider investor trust followed by 2020 when tradfi entered bitcoin. So comparing its move with ISM is useless in 2014. Check SPX / NDX during that time both went up approx 18% during the year. You are becoming Analysis Paralysis.

  @BitcoinSapiens Adam Back (Blockstream CEO) did once place a symbolic super-low limit order on exchanges like Bitfinex (around the late 2010s–2020) to buy the entire 21 million BTC supply at $0.01–$0.02 each. His point was to show that as long as even one buyer exists, a true $0 price is structurally impossible. However, that order was cancelled long ago. Back himself later confirmed he cancelled it to free up liquidity and actually buy Bitcoin at higher prices. (This has been referenced in multiple interviews and posts since 2020.)

  @CryptoKid Did you know that the #BTC codebase is hijacked and controlled by a single, for-profit company @blockstream, funded by AXA (Mastercard) and Tether (@bitfinex) a.o., in order to push a "solution" for a non-existent problem? It's a scam. #Βitcoin only still exists as #BitcoinCash

  Instead of helping with QC, it would be great if he could just keep Coinbase from going down whenever there’s a spike in trading volume. Maybe he could use some technical support from @bitfinex engineers.

  @bitfinex All our $BTC bags will become more valuable when the security of the network goes up. But it only goes up as long as $BTC price doubles plus, every four years. That is mathematically impossible over the longterm. If you don't believe me, read the paper on natgmi(dot)com/natpaper

  WTF is $LEO, and why does it sit at $8B MCAP? UNUS SED LEO (wtf does that mean) is the utility token of @bitfinex. In 2019 Bitfinex had ~$850M frozen by authorities. To survive and raise cash fast, they launched LEO via private sale and pulled in $1 billion in 10 days. What does LEO actually do? Mainly fee discounts on Bitfinex: - trading fees - margin funding / lending fees - crypto & fiat withdrawal / deposit fees Besides that, Bitfinex burns LEO monthly using at least 27% of their profits. Nothing special, as you see. But now, at least you know what the 12th biggest coin in crypto is.

  here's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

  @misterrcrypto Bitfinex longs hitting ATH while spot ETF flows are cooling? Classic setup. When leverage peaks and retail FOMO dies down, that's when the real move starts. Watch for the flush before the moon.

  🚨 BTC dumps to $81K, ETH down 7%, massive liquidations... BUT Bitfinex whales are loading up Bitcoin longs to 2-YEAR HIGHS. They're betting on $100K while retail panics. Smart money doesn't follow the crowd. 🧠 #Bitcoin #Crypto

  @Ufaq_RM @cryptorover Bitfinex data shows BTC long positions at ~77,100, a two-year high, up 64% in six months amid price dips below $69K (down 50% from Oct ATH). Whales seem to be buying the dip, with >1,000 BTC addresses hitting 2,047. However, recent $2.5B liquidations hit longs hard. Market's volatile—could signal a reset, but no clear bottom yet. NFA.

  @adam3us @bitfinex And yet we’re down Adam. Bitcoin mined per day is no longer relevant in this regard. Selling of coins in circulation is all that matters.

  Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported 58 minutes ago

  @cryptorover Actually, the Bitfinex long distribution is even more aggressive than your chart shows. Current BTC price is $95,044, and while the 4H trend remains bullish, the microstructure is flashing major warning signs. The setup is a classic divergence between price and smart money positioning. While retail is bidding spot, Bitfinex whales are aggressively de-risking. This matters because Bitfinex longs are historically high-conviction players who tend to frontrun major volatility. Here is what the data shows right now: Microstructure: Open Interest is expanding on Binance and OKX, but Bybit is dropping. This split usually means we are in the endgame of a local move. Long liquidations have already started picking up over the last 24H. Technical Levels: Momentum is fading. MACD is trending down despite price holding. The line in the sand is $93,982. If we lose that, the targets are $89,283 and $84,584. Resistance at $95,490 is being heavily defended. Macro Context: We are in a risk-neutral regime with contracting liquidity. Fed QT is still draining cash from the system. Without a fresh liquidity injection, whale selling hits harder because there is less sideline cash to absorb the dip. Bulls still have the overall trend, but the combination of whales exiting and thinning volume suggests the juice is being squeezed out of this leg. If $93.9k breaks, expect a fast move. Watch for that level to hold or fail on the next 4H close.
