The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetterBREAKING: Bitcoin and ETH fall sharply as $200 million worth of levered positions are liquidated in under 60 minutes.
Bitcoin is back below $80,000. pic.twitter.com/KxHTG1S2tb
The Kobeissi Letter is a markets account on X. It posts fast takes on money news. On Oct. 24, 2026, it posted about Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the biggest crypto coin by value. Ether is the second biggest. Both fell hard and fast that afternoon.
The post said $200 million in levered bets got wiped out. A levered bet uses borrowed money to bet bigger. When the bet goes wrong, the exchange force-closes it. That force-close is called a liquidation.
The wipeout took under an hour. Bitcoin dropped back below $80,000 in that stretch. KuCoin News later put the hour's full liquidation count at $291 million. Long bets made up $274 million of that total. A long bet wins when the price rises. Short bets made up far less, at $17.33 million.
By late afternoon UTC, the post had 3,178 likes. It drew 235 replies and quote posts.
Why did this post spread so fast? A fast crash makes people want a fast explainer. The Kobeissi Letter gave one line, two numbers and one price level. That is all a scared trader needs to feel informed.
What does this say about crypto people today? A six-figure loss used to take a bad week to build. Now it builds in under an hour. Traders read $200 million in one glance and react within seconds. That speed cuts both ways. It spreads real news fast. It also spreads panic just as fast.
The post skips the cause behind the drop. It only names the size and the speed. Readers filled in their own reasons within minutes, in the replies below it. A number that big travels far on its own, with zero extra push needed.

Ash Crypto@AshCryptoHUGE:
Whales have accumulated $780 Million in $BTC this month.
Smart money is buying fear. pic.twitter.com/Kvmyv9NA7R
Ash Crypto is a trader who posts market takes on X. Many people follow the account for fast calls.
On Oct. 24, 2026, Bitcoin's price had just dropped. Ash Crypto posted about big wallets buying anyway.
The post said whales put $780 million into Bitcoin this month. A whale is a trader who holds a lot of coins. The post called this move smart money buying fear.
That number traces back to a tracker called Lookonchain. Lookonchain watches public wallets for big transfers. It had flagged 40 new wallets. Those wallets pulled 9,458 Bitcoin from a market maker named Wintermute. That batch was worth about $771.5 million, per crypto.news. The site put the coin's price then at $81,571.
Ash Crypto's number ran $8.5 million above that tracked figure. The gap is small. It shows two people can round the same pile of coins two ways.
By late afternoon UTC, the post had 1,073 likes. It drew 144 replies.
Why did this post spread so fast? It gave scared traders a hopeful story during a crash. A big number plus a bold claim travels fast online. Hope spreads quicker than caution ever does.
What does this say about crypto people today? A wallet move proves a transfer happened. It leaves the purchase price unproven. It leaves the sender's true identity unproven too. crypto.news said the new wallets could belong to one owner split many ways. The coins could sit there for custody, rather than for a trade.
Ash Crypto turned an unclear transfer into a clean story. Readers want a clean story more than they want full proof. That gap is where this kind of post thrives, crash after crash, year after year.

Lucky@LLuciano_BTCWhales are moving serious size in $BTC again, and the timing is worth watching.
32,380 BTC, worth around $2.6B, recorded its way into the market in a single day, marking the largest inflow since April.
The last time we saw numbers like these, Bitcoin topped out just a few weeks… pic.twitter.com/QCFOLT0qQq
Lucky posts under the handle LLuciano_BTC on X. The account tracks big Bitcoin wallet moves.
On Oct. 24, 2026, Lucky posted a chart. The chart showed coins flowing into exchanges.
The post said 32,380 Bitcoin moved onto exchanges in one day. That batch was worth about $2.6 billion, per crypto.news. Lucky called it the largest inflow since April.
An inflow means coins move toward a place where people trade them. That differs from a withdrawal, which pulls coins away to hold them. Lucky's post came hours after other posts said whales were buying. This post read the opposite way.
Lucky added a warning of his own. He said a similar spike came before a price top earlier this year. He said this time the pattern could break instead.
The post arrived the same morning Bitcoin fell below $80,000. Traders were already watching every chart twice as closely as usual. A post about exchange inflows landed right into that mood.
By late morning UTC, the post had 619 likes. It drew 50 replies.
Why did this post spread so fast? It landed right beside louder posts calling the same week a buying signal. A reader could see both posts back to back. The clash between them made people stop and look twice.
What does this say about crypto people today? The same on-chain numbers get read two ways in one morning. One side calls coins leaving an exchange a buy signal. Another side calls coins entering an exchange a sell signal. crypto.news said both charts stop short of proving what came next. A chart shows where coins moved. It stays silent on why they moved.
Readers that morning got two charts pointing two ways. They walked away with zero clean answer, just a choice of which trader to believe.
What it says about us
A chart of coins moving reads as buying to one trader and selling to another.

Lookonchain@lookonchainWhales are accumulating $BTC!
Since Oct 1, 40 newly created wallets have withdrawn 9,458 $BTC ($771.5M) from #Wintermute.https://t.co/AR7qxcyoiU pic.twitter.com/TfzSTKz7UF
Lookonchain is a tracker account on X. It watches public blockchains for big wallet moves.
On Oct. 23, 2026, it posted about Bitcoin. The post said whales were buying while the market shook.
Lookonchain counted 40 newly created wallets. Those wallets had pulled coins from Wintermute since Oct. 1. Wintermute is a market maker that trades for other firms. The wallets withdrew 9,458 Bitcoin in total. That batch was worth about $771.5 million, per crypto.news.
The post carried a screenshot from Arkham, a wallet-labeling tool. The screenshot named Wintermute as the coins' source. A reader could see the trail for themselves.
News coverage of the figure peaked the next morning. crypto.news published its own look at the claim on Oct. 24 at 11:33 a.m. UTC. By then, two more traders had joined in. Ash Crypto and Lucky each built a post on the same number.
By late afternoon UTC on Oct. 24, Lookonchain's own post had 516 likes. It drew 66 replies and quote posts.
Why did this post spread so fast? A clear number beats a vague worry during a crash. Forty wallets and 9,458 coins read like proof to a scrolling reader. A picture of a wallet trail makes a claim feel solid fast.
What does this say about crypto people today? A new wallet proves a transfer took place. Who controls that wallet stays a mystery. crypto.news said the 40 wallets could belong to one owner split many ways. The coins could simply sit in storage, rather than head toward a buy order.
Lookonchain named the number first. Two louder accounts then turned that same number into a story about hope. The hope spread well ahead of anyone checking who truly held the coins.
