Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • electricmrsny 🌽 BTC Captain 🌽 (@electricmrsny) reported

    @BTC_Archive I’m looking for a repeat of the last dip. Watch when all the shorts on bitfinex get closed out. Then buy a **** ton of satoshi.

  • marketm44295418 Market maker (@marketm44295418) reported

    @john_j_brown Do you think bitfinex or some entity unrelated to bitfinex, is building short to drive price down and liquidate your long?

  • CryptoChat7 Crypto Seven (@CryptoChat7) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @coinbase @bitfinex I think we've bottomed now. I bought back in on my last trade at 32k. Love to have a chat with you sometime on Portugal, how I might help your channel etc

  • moist_wethole hopium trader (@moist_wethole) reported

    @CryptoStorm3 realistically I was thinking 1500 is bottom for ETH. But we will see. Shorts on bitfinex are down by 2.5% they are slowly closing. If they start to close here it means we were in a Whyckoff patern retest near the spring level. And trade analysis wise we bounced on the 1.618 fib

  • cryptech33 CrypTech (@cryptech33) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex Pushing it down to #accumulate before they announce Q2 in July

  • totorogainz Cryptotoro (@totorogainz) reported

    The situation is rather bleak. 90% cash - looking to short 32keks or wait for a break of 30keks. No breakout shorting at the eternal support though. No longing until the Bitfinex bearwhale covers. We went down-only from 34keks exactly when the shorts started to pile up. $BTC

  • kevperree RIBS! (@kevperree) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex Might be big into something else and dragging BTC down helps the end game..

  • EnigmaFund EnigmaFund (@EnigmaFund) reported

    @Ninjascalp Bro, it’s ONE whale. Wtf can you believe it. One ***hole deviating whole market on Bitfinex from its natural course, destroying the hard work of so many across the globe. Until @cz_binance @AlamedaTrabucco etc pony up and liquidate him, that’s the wrap.

  • oleh86 oleh86 (@oleh86) reported

    @CasPiancey Tether’s commercial paper 📄 is most likely IOUs from Bitfinex/Binance, collateralized with their Bitcoin holdings (if at all). Otherwise, Tether would have no problem with an audit.

  • mikejamezm Jamez (@mikejamezm) reported

    One bitfinex whale, 1. Shorting 20k $btc. Not taking lightly. Only issue here is options expirey today. Only flag. Other than that none.

  • CryptoFrogie Frogie (@CryptoFrogie) reported

    @CryptoSavage87 @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex I have buy orders at around 15k. There is nothing to say it may go lower or slightly higher. Just have to wait and see how things play out. No need to over trade. Be patient and take opportunities as the come. There is no reason to believe whether market going up or down yet.

  • Beegamesnetwork Bee-Miner (@Beegamesnetwork) reported

    Data fails to conclude that Bitfinex shorts are depressing Bitcoin price A significant surge in Bitfinex short contracts is being attributed to Bitcoin’s current downturn but there are other major factors at play. One of the most common errors traders make when analyzing c…

  • bigbrovar Othell Yarwyck (@bigbrovar) reported

    @bigbrutha_ My point with that statement is that having 70% of miners in 1 location (though not ideal) is way better than 1 entity having a black box. You can take out one entity easily. The trust flow is based on 1 entity. All it takes for USDT to die is a crack down on Bitfinex. 1 company.

  • tangojoshua Joshua (@tangojoshua) reported

    @AdamSinger 2)… bitfinex/tether or other tether exchanges with a better sense of balance sheet will buy and redeem at some discount. 3) combined solvency problem at exchanges + tether — probably most dangerous, could see mt gox type scenario?

  • DarkPenciI Simon (@DarkPenciI) reported

    Now if those bitfinex short whales are actual huge bulls in disguide, and they were buying spot on the way down while taking advantage of low volume to push prices down using shorts, and decide to start closing those shorts during the weekend while the volume is even lower,

  • ryguy1_1 NFTeez nuts (@ryguy1_1) reported

    Brutal PA. Didn’t really look today cause I don’t wanna trade this ****, but really slow sweep of 30k’s. Bears unable to break us down below 30’s buyers not really stepping in. Funding slightly increasingly negative as we go up. Bitfinex whale still in control lol.

  • DJenniso777 Derek J (@DJenniso777) reported

    @Scelliott81 Yeah, we’re talking about a record amount of shorts on Bitfinex in one day! Hasn’t been this high since 2019 and 10% have covered here at support almost in a programmed fashion. Still think we’re at risk for a 15% flush

  • realpauleverton Paul Everton (@realpauleverton) reported

    @alistairmilne On Bitfinex it's impossible to distinguish real trading with wash trading.

  • DJHarve04053592 DJHarvey (@DJHarve04053592) reported

    @3xWolverine @SickRick727 @dannydiekroeger Difference is that ******* traffickers actually have reserves of *******, even if they cut it to **** to "print" more *******, they still have reserves & places to store it. Tether regularly doesn't even have a bank account. "Audits" are often of new accounts filled by Bitfinex

  • CryptoFrogie Frogie (@CryptoFrogie) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex I wish you guys realised that what is happening it accumulation of bitcoin by the whale which will result in a huge dump in order to drive the price down and profit on his short position. Rinse and repeat $btc Open your eyes please…..

  • thejaopao jão pão (@thejaopao) reported

    @vinibarbosabr you're right but also wrong in so many levels. the thing is that due to China stuff we are in a terrible FUD, but the institutions are absorbing everything that the miners are selling and shorting $btc in common exchanges such as Bitfinex so they can buy it cheaper.

  • BryceWeiner Bryce “No FOMO” ****** (@BryceWeiner) reported

    @styvori There is far, far too much public support to allow such things to exist. It isn’t the laws or the AG or Bitfinex, it’s the whole goddamn system. Bitfinex is a monster capitalism created. Kill the monster, another more evolved will appear. Instead, kill the system.

  • Stephenmccrea9 Stephen mccrea (@Stephenmccrea9) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex The Bitcoin community should set up a fund to short tesla. Donate small amount each to completely **** him. I am certain his board would piss him off out of the joint if we hurt his bag holders. Teach the prick a lesson.

  • CrypoFuture ⚡LW⚡ (@CrypoFuture) reported

    Equity markets have the FED to keep pushing prices UP #Crypto markets have #Bitfinex to keep pushing #BTC down Few

  • BigPapaye Lazy PUMPkin (@BigPapaye) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex @bitfinex is a real problem...

  • Skyline85587836 Skyline (@Skyline85587836) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex All this might done by a big country to bring everyone down. That is their motive to be world no 1. They short and buy back, nothing to lose. Crypto exchanges must do something.

  • FeineCrypto FΞINΞCRYPTO (@FeineCrypto) reported

    @MartiniGuyYT @bitfinex Tether dumbass. Crypto is still ****, we have alot of improving to do. Good news is its a sign how early we are🚀🚀

  • misha256nya Mishanya (@misha256nya) reported

    @WClementeIII wtf is going on on bitfinex lol

  • sashiminakamoto Algo Trader (@sashiminakamoto) reported

    Almost 100,000 longs for ETH opened at Bitfinex as BTC shorts are down 63% to 7k. Up. Only.

  • JeffBTCzos 🤣🛸✨ (@JeffBTCzos) reported

    @sweetsinner3 **** all probably. Bitfinex whale was probably the World Bank making sure BTC goes to zero.
