    @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

    @ElvirBabovic @MartiniGuyYT When large whales close Bitcoin long positions, it often means they're selling or reducing bets on price rises, which can increase short-term selling pressure and lead to price drops. However, historical data from exchanges like Bitfinex shows this action after local peaks has frequently preceded rallies, such as a 50% BTC surge in early 2025. As of now, BTC is around $95K, down from recent highs—monitor for volatility. (Not financial advice.)

    @veresha75 100% Only one mistake you made ATH was not 141$ it was 198.8$ at Bitfinex in 2018. So percent down % is even worst.

    @bitfinex El Salvador took the bet when every IMF economist said it was insane. Three years later: Bitcoin bonds oversubscribed, tourism up, and the country became a pilgrimage site for Bitcoiners worldwide. The biggest risk was never adopting Bitcoin. It was waiting for permission to do so.

    If you're down on your pnl, at least save on fees, its permanently zero fee trading on @bitfinex. I'm surprised the volume hasn't migrated as much as I'd think.

    @HarrisChri99199 @Cryptotea Exactly my argument. On the front end to promote adoption, yes. But go down the rabbit hole of what Lightning does. Especially the largest lightning node hub bitfinex.

    @Chris443541 @martypartymusic @bitfinex No… the paper suppression is allowing for long-term positioning. It’s recapitalization. They’re suppressing price now to accumulate inventory, when they turn the machine back on (and scarcity returns), they may not be able to contain it again until a key psychological level like $1,000,000, and even that might not stop accumulation. That’s where BitBonds enter the chat. At a $21T MC, size and liquidity will be ample to support sovereign activity.

    @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.

    @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.

    @bitfinex This is the divergence nobody's talking about enough. Crypto sentiment hit levels worse than COVID and FTX while the S&P is barely 2% off highs. That gap has to close. Either equities catch down or crypto catches up. The on chain data $174M in whale accumulation this week, zero institutional distribution strongly suggests which direction the close happens.

    📚 What is UNUS SED LEO (LEO)? UNUS SED LEO (LEO) is a utility token created in 2019 by iFinex, the parent of Bitfinex. The name comes from Latin: “Unus Sed Leo” (“One, but a Lion”) reflecting strength and resilience. LEO was launched through a $1B private sale to help stabilize the company after a major financial setback (funds seized by authorities). Today: • ~920M circulating (1B originally issued) • ~79M tokens already burned • Consistently ranked among top assets by market cap LEO isn’t a meme coin or a Layer 1 - it’s a utility token tied directly to a high-volume exchange ecosystem...a quiet, revenue-driven asset sitting near the top of crypto rankings. 🦁

    @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. 🐸

    @SolarisATF sometimes, just depends if it has flow or not. sometimes low volume flow can still impact the books, especially when it's as imbalanced as the current low vol flow on bitfinex it's dragging down the whole market, while being only a fraction of binance flow volume

    Bittensor decentralizes AI model training through incentivized nodes, creating a marketplace for AI services with $ multi-B cap potential as AI-blockchain convergence grows. Institutional support (e.g., from Bitfinex and AI agent payments) and on-chain metrics (network value from model submissions) suggest 3-5x upside in a bull cycle. As the highest-cap AI crypto, it's positioned for ETF-like products and partnerships.

    @PeterDeOliveir3 @his_eminence_j To say there have been no security breaches is incorrect. What about Mt. Gox (2014), Bitfinex (2016), NiceHash (2017), Binance (2019), and DMM (2024)? Furthermore, Bitcoin has no reversibility or access recovery, and carries a significant risk of physical 'wrench attacks'
