Tutsi Andre (@tutsiandre) reportedHey @bitfinex I've been a verified customer for many years, now you are blocking my withdrawals?
-
EddieOz โก (@eddieoz) reportedWhen block size warz in 2017, bcashers tried the BCC tckr. But Bitfinex was using BCH. Some say it was Bitcoin Cash, but others say it was for *******. Well, we know. That matters: if 110ers try to list their shitcoin, it is up to the exchanges to decide. CSW feelings.

Cryptocrat (@Cryptocratico) reported๐จ $167M BTC SHIFTS BETWEEN MAJOR EXCHANGES Approximately 2,572 BTC moved in two transactions from a Bitfinex-labeled hot wallet to Kraken-labeled addresses. This is a sizeable cross-exchange liquidity shiftโnot evidence of a sale. Customer withdrawals, custody, OTC settlement or liquidity management remain possible.

Nomad (@JourneyMacro) reportedIt's self interest - Brian knows that a Crypto with high TPS will eventually replace Coinbase because it is a third party intermediary in transactions Almost every crypto exchange has compromised financial freedom because they're third parties, which is why they support BTC or made their own blockchain - Binance, Tether/Bitfinex, Bybit, okx, etc โCommerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as TRUSTED THIRD PARTIES to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based modelโฆ What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A TRUSTED THIRD PARTY.โ - Satoshi Nakamoto

~dorsen-witnes (@fazzam_eth) reportedReally strong stuff. Thereโs a lot of precedent for successfully navigating an event like this in defi. Bitfinex repaid 36% of customer assets in 8 months and came back stronger than before. Euler lost $197M, made everyone whole, and relaunched bigger than it ever was. Crypto doesn't punish teams for getting hit but for leaving holes. This is textbook comms so far.

BlackIntus (@Blackintus) reportedCrypto Fear & Greed Index: 16/100 โ โextreme fear.โ Bitcoin briefly broke $60K last week โ worst stretch since FTX collapse in 2022. Now rebounding to $63,800. But Bitfinex warns: โRallies are increasingly being sold rather than accumulated.โ The structural problem hasnโt changed. Macro is restrictive. Rates are going higher. Bitcoin is a risk-on asset in a risk-off environment. ๐ฐ YOUR MOVE: The $63,800 bounce is a relief rally, not a reversal. For the trend to change you need two things: Strait of Hormuz reopens (oil down, inflation pressure eases, Fed pause) or SpaceX IPO capital returns to crypto after the excitement fades. Neither is happening this week. If youโre long crypto, set a stop at $58,000. If youโre waiting to buy the dip โ the structural floor is $52,000, not $60,000. @Blackintus

Itโs discovered, usually by accident. A toy photo, a broken render, a nickname that stuck. Thatโs how $FEFER was born. Not from a whitepaper, not from a marketing plan. From CT deciding a jaw that never loaded was funnier than anything a team could have scripted. โ First launch failed โ Team stepped back โ Community didnโt That sequence matters more than people give it credit for. Most memes die the moment the original push loses steam. Fefer got a second life because the people holding it treated the token like it was worth continuing, not restarting. โ Relaunched on @coinsdot + @Stable โ Snapshot of 4,827 original holders โ Airdropped directly, no claim forms, nobody left behind Thatโs not a small detail. Snapshotting the original holders instead of starting a fresh cap table is the difference between โnew project borrowing an old jokeโ and โsame community, new chapter.โ Where it stands right now: โ $3.9M market cap โ $569K liquidity โ Live on a USDT-powered L1 backed by Bitfinex and PayPal Ventures Stable is still early. Its identity is still being written in real time, and the projects active in it now are the ones that end up shaping what people associate with the chain later. $FEFER isnโt trying to win on utility. Itโs trying to win on being unforgettable, and a meme that survives its own failed launch and still gets airdropped back to the exact people who believed in it the first time is hard to forget. Nobody decides which meme becomes the face of a chain. The timeline does. ๐ Fefer didnโt restart. Fefer continued.

donnie (@blackhack33) reported9/12 And exchange support hasnโt been perfect either. Bitfinex officially delisted GALA in March 2026, with withdrawals closing in May. That doesnโt prove fraud โ exchanges delist tokens for many reasons. But it is an actual GALA delisting, not an X rumour.

Chiutoshi Echomotoใโฟ=โ/21Mใ (@Echochiu2) reportedGM Brothers and Sisters โ Bitcoin price remains weak Despite the July U.S. CPI data coming in as expected, Bitcoin failed to react positively and dropped below $63,500, erasing earlier gains. The price is currently hovering around the $63,000 level and underperforming relative to U.S. equities and other risk assets. โ Shift in Federal Reserve rate expectations Combined with recent soft labor-market data, the in-line CPI print has pushed the probability of the Fed holding rates steady at the September meeting up to 60%. This is generally viewed as a supportive environment for crypto and risk assets, though Bitcoin has not yet shown a clear positive response. โ Analysts warn of weakening support Trader Rekt Capital notes that the ~$63,000 support level is progressively weakening, with bounce sizes shrinking from 6.27% โ 5.83% โ 3.18% โ just 1.15%. He warns that โat some point the bounces will become so weak that the floor will simply break.โ Bitfinex research also highlights strong resistance in the $65,000โ$65,500 zone, which Bitcoin has failed to close above since late July. โ What to watch next Attention now turns to Thursdayโs July Producer Price Index data, which could influence market volatility and the elevated downside protection premiums currently seen in Bitcoin options markets. ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely โจMay your life radiant with Bitcoinโจ bitcoin:native

Cosimo Capiฯal โ๏ธ (@CosimoCapital) reportedI agree most dual equity/token structures are broken, but saying there are no examples is too strong. ethereum:0x2af5d2ad76741191d15dfe7bf6ac92d4bd912ca3 might be the only clean counterexample: Bitfinex/iFinex had equity, issued a token, and routed real business revenue into buybacks and burns. That is the key distinction. LEO did not work because it had vague governance, ecosystem utility, or a โcommunityโ narrative. It worked because the token had explicit, credible value accrual. The lesson is not that equity + token never works. The lesson is that it almost never works unless the token has a real economic sink tied to the business. Crypto Twitter has also changed. It is starting to act less like moonbois and more like activist investors. People are demanding value capture, capital return, burns, buybacks, transparency, and alignment. We should study what has actually worked and duplicate the mechanism instead of pretending every token needs to be a vibes-based governance asset.

Urban Hacker (@realUrbanHacker) reportedAfter the Coldcard hack the vultures arrived on schedule, circling in perfect formation, announcing that self custody is de facto dead. You've read the posts. If only these poor souls had kept their coins "on an exchange," none of this would have happened. Adults said this out loud, in public, with their real names attached. So let's do the thing nobody circling the corpse wanted to do. Let's look at the data. ๐ด Mt. Gox โ 2014 Hot-wallet theft + years of mismanagement โ insolvency ~850,000 BTC (~200k later recovered) ๐ด Bitfinex โ 2016 Hot wallet breach ~119,756 BTC ๐ด Coincheck โ 2018 Hot wallet breach (NEM) ~523M XEM (~USD 530M then) ๐ด Zaif โ 2018 Hot wallet breach ~5,966 BTC + other assets (~USD 60M) ๐ด QuadrigaCX โ 2018โ19 Not a classic hack: founder death + "inaccessible" cold wallets; monitor found big shortfall / suspected fraud ~26,000 BTC + other coins (~CAD 190โ250M+) ๐ด Cryptopia โ 2019 Hacked, then liquidation (BTC + alts) ~USD 16M+ initially reported ๐ด Binance โ 2019 Hot wallet breach 7,000 BTC (~USD 40M โ SAFU covered users) ๐ด KuCoin โ 2020 Hot wallets breached ~USD 275M mixed tokens ๐ด BitMart โ 2021 Hot wallets breached ~USD 150โ200M mixed ๐ด FTX / Alameda โ 2022 Fraud & insolvency; customer funds misused ~USD 8โ10B shortfall ๐ด DMM Bitcoin โ 2024 Unauthorized outflow 4,502.9 BTC (~USD 300M+) ๐ด WazirX โ 2024 Multisig / custody breach ~USD 230โ235M mixed ๐ด Bybit โ 2025 Cold-wallet / signer exploit ~401,000 ETH (~USD 1.4โ1.5B), not BTC-led Custodial and protocol heists together โ centralized exchanges plus DeFi and bridges โ run into the tens of billions of dollars over their lifetime at event prices, with single bad years clearing USD 2โ3B in hacks alone. That's not counting fraud, insolvency, or the founder who dies with the keys in his head. One Coldcard wave: roughly USD 0.04โ0.07B. Do the division. Very rough math puts Coldcard at somewhere between 0.1% and 1% of a single bad year, and comfortably under 1% of lifetime headline losses from exchanges and DeFi combined. It is a rounding error. It is the tip you leave on the bill for everything else that got stolen this decade. And it is being used as an argument to hand your keys back to the same institutions that produced the top of that table. But I'm not going to end on a smug ratio, because something about this genuinely bothers me. The people who lost money here were not degens. They weren't farming yield on a bridge held together with hope and a Discord moderator. They were the careful ones โ the people who read the guides, bought the hardware, wrote the words down on steel, and did everything the responsible adults told them to do. Playing it safe is exactly what got them hit. That's the part that stings, and anyone selling you a custodial account off the back of their pain should be treated accordingly. The conclusion doesn't move, though. Verify your entropy, verify your seed on a second implementation, stop trusting single black boxes โ and understand that from a strict safety analysis, your funds have never been safer than in self custody.
