I hope you people talking up this bitfinex stuff realise that this now HAS to happen otherwise we'll have a crash on our hands.

This development has now been getting slowly priced in over the last 24-48 hours, in particular regarding the fact that a correction was due yesterday that didn't occur - the price went up instead.

That's the price of jumping on these kind of rumours.

The rumour will be bought and the news will be sold. When bitfinex come out and state that periodically run viability tests on their new API functions using a variety of tickers but currently no plans to add any alts then that's going to no be seen as negative news and trigger a good old dump.

Just saying'. Watch what you talk up.

What's the possibility that BFX want this to be priced in somewhat before they make a sudden announcement? Any reason they might be letting these sneak peeks out deliberately for that reason?

So if they are Mr. X (the one with biggest wallet), that would make sense. But I do not think Mr. X is an exchange...

I was just wondering whether it would be in their interest to drop a bomb with a sudden announcement, or to have the market basically absorb the impact in a softer way.
