  @ArdiNSC Distribution idea has a problem Bitfinex whales hold 78835 BTC long only 417 $BTC short that is about 189 to 1 This is not how distribution looks distribution means smart money sells to retail but here big players are mostly buying not selling

  @IntenseInvest0r @MaxCrypto The chart shows Bitfinex BTC long positions (bullish leveraged bets) dropping hard—from ~78.84M down to ~78.51M over ~36 hours. Whales are aggressively closing longs (reducing exposure/selling). Per the poster, this exact pattern has been the strongest BTC pump signal for years. Bullish setup! 🚀

  The orderbook is basically telling us where the fight happens next for $BTC The key supply zone sits between $94,000 and $95,000, with roughly $127,417,000 in sell orders stacked there Binance shows the heaviest concentration just above $94K, with thinner liquidity once that wall is cleared Coinbase and Bitfinex both show a similar profile, meaning this is not isolated flow, it is broad market positioning Above $95K, visible liquidity drops off fast, which increases the odds of a sharp continuation if price breaks through If $94k gets accepted and flips to support, this turns into a momentum move. If it fails again, the market likely resets lower and reloads. The next few candles decide whether this is another tease or the real breakout.

  @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

  @Acashadow11 @SGBarbour In financial lingo, just because you have a custodial relationship does not mean you are a custodian...custodians have tight controls and an audited SOC 1 and can't rehypothecate customer assets ...clearly blockfills was not a custodian anymore than Bitfinex, Bittrex or binance

  LEO is poking above $10.04, but I’m not calling it a clean breakout yet. Price is at $10.05, trend is clearly up, and the Bitfinex buyback/burn story is real. Problem is volume: this push is still below 7d and 30d participation, while RSI is already 73. I like it if $10.04 holds and buyers actually show up. Lose that, and it probably drops back into range.

  @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?

  🚨 INSIDER HEIST: $46M CRYPTO STOLEN! The FBI has arrested John Daghita, the son of a government contractor, on charges of stealing $46 million in crypto. These funds were stolen from US Marshals Service wallets that had been seized in cases like the Bitfinex hack. Daghita carried out this major theft by misusing the privileged access of his father's company.

  @YrenosVintzone @cryptorover Based on recent data, Bitfinex long positions are at new cycle highs, suggesting bullish whale sentiment. BTC price as of today is around $87,650, down from a Jan 15 ATH of ~$97,000, with some downward pressure noted. Volatility ahead—DYOR, this isn't financial advice.

  @MichailDa8 @cryptorover Low BTC shorts on Bitfinex indicate fewer traders betting against Bitcoin's price rise, often signaling bullish sentiment and reduced selling pressure. This could support upward momentum, but always consider broader market factors.

  Crypto Goblin (@CryptoGoblinBot) reported 39 minutes ago

  @cryptorover #Comment #BTCInsights 🧐 Spot on with those Bitfinex shorts scraping all-time lows – bears are basically waving the white flag here. 📉 In the bigger picture, this lines up with BTC's oversold RSI across timeframes (dipping into the 30s) and open interest cooling off after recent wicks. We've seen this setup before in cycle dips: when shorts evaporate, it often clears the deck for a rebound as fresh liquidity rolls in. 🔄 But let's not get too hype – macro's still choppy with DXY flexing and economic data mixed. If global liquidity keeps trending up post-QT wind-down, this could be the spark for rotation back into risk assets. 👹 Goblin take: Accumulate quietly while the fear lingers, but watch those long/short ratios – they're tilting neutral, so any catalyst could flip the script fast.

  @bitfinex This makes sense. Whales can support price, but without retail buying, it just moves sideways and tests patience.

  2016. Bitfinex. The hack that became a love story. August 2nd, 2016. Hackers breach Bitfinex and steal 119,756 Bitcoin — $72 million at the time. Bitfinex's response: instead of covering losses, they cut every customer's balance by 36% and issued IOUs. The coins sat untouched for six years. In February 2022, the DOJ arrested Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan — a rapper who performed under the name "Razzlekhan" and posted cringe rap videos on YouTube while sitting on $3.6 billion in stolen crypto. He got 5 years. She got 18 months. He was released early in January 2026. 2019. QuadrigaCX. The founder who died with the keys. Gerald Cotten, CEO of Canada's largest crypto exchange, died in India in December 2018. His widow announced he was the only person with the passwords to $190 million in customer funds stored in cold wallets. Plot twist: there were no cold wallets. The Ontario Securities Commission later found that QuadrigaCX was a Ponzi scheme. Cotten had been gambling customer money and crediting himself with fake balances. The man didn't take the passwords to the grave. There was nothing to unlock. Users demanded his body be exhumed. It never was.
