Every time a major Bitcoin exchange suffers from a direct denial of service attack, there will be people who claim something else entirely is going on.
More specifically, the Bitfinex platform is experiencing such an attack as we speak. Some people have posited that it is not an attack, but rather a case of many people looking to get their money off this exchange. Discussions like these are always fun to keep an eye on, as the theories users come up with get crazier by the week.
Things have certainly evolved in a rather interesting direction for the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange. This year alone, the company became the world’s leading Bitcoin exchange in terms of trading volume. That was rather unexpected, even though Bitfinex has a solid reputation owing to being around for many years.
