SHORTERS ARE GETTING REKT AS WE SPEAK

[becoin]

Seriously, who here uses Bitfinex right now?  Nobody right?  So who the hell are these buyers supposed to be?

I don't think there was a Bitfinex hack in the first place. They simply confiscated customer bitcoins because they gambled with short positions using customer bitcoins and lost. What Chinese exchanges did using PBOC hack, before them Bitfinex did using alleged unknown hacker.

And so Bitfinex shorts begin to liquidate. What a warm glow

[willope]

Ok, finally we broke 2013 ATH on every exchange.
So, where do we go now? What's next?

[r0ach]

So basically Scamfinex wants you to believe there's millionaires just beating down the doors to buy all the bitcoins in sight on an exchange you would have to be insane to trust with your money, while on the more legit Bitstamp exchange the buys are less than 1/10th the size.  I almost feel like Bitfinex no longer has any users at all and we're just watching an API feed of one guy selling imaginary coins back and forth to himself.  I don't think they even have margin enabled anymore either.

Leverage is a hell of a drug

Short sellers are getting liquidated. That is what you were witnessing most likely.

I didn't think Bitfinex even had leverage enabled anymore.  I haven't used them since halving when they goxed but looked in on them the other day and it was still disabled.

Code:

while(true){
    scamfinex.api_controller.emit_transaction(100000*random()*btc, price_chosen_by_admin);
    time.sleep(random()*3*minute);
}

I hope we'll catch these guys one day

of course they do, what are the BTC swaps for if not for leverage trading?
