Voxies Go Nuts: Bitget’s Glitch Makes People Rich Overnight?!

by

So here’s the deal: Voxies (VOXEL), some nobody gaming token, suddenly decides to skyrocket by 200% in 24 hours on April 20 — thanks to a little “hiccup” in Bitget’s trading system. Yeah, a glitch. Because why not? 🙄

This blip sent trading volume of the VOXEL/USDT contract through the roof—like $12.7 billion roof, while Bitcoin’s stuck at a measly $4.76 billion on the same platform. Basically, Bitcoin’s feeling left out at the party. 🥳

Bitget’s Trading Bot Went Rogue, and Some Folks Got Millionaire Dreams (Or Nightmares)

Seriously, Voxies are this obscure, free-to-play blockchain game token with a market cap smaller than your vacation budget—under $30 million. Yet some crypto folks made bank because Bitget’s bot kept firing off trades between $0.125 and $0.138 repeatedly. Yeah, it was like a broken record, but profits were no joke.

With just a hundred bucks, quick-witted players managed to rake in six figures. That’s right — six figures! Meanwhile, the rest of us are still figuring out how to use the vending machine. 💸

Rumor has it some people literally walked away with tens, hundreds of thousands of USDT in hours. Wish I was one of them—but I’m here typing this out instead.

Bitget’s spokesperson, Xie Jiayin, said they know what happened and launched an “internal investigation.” And if you got lucky, don’t spend those winnings too fast — your account might get slapped with “temporary restrictions.” Call support, they say… good luck with that! 📞

“Hey, glitches happen,” Jiayin shrugged. “We’ll get back to you in 24 hours with the drama deets.” Sure, cause that’s reassuring. Cool cool cool. 🙃

Of course, crypto pros are side-eyeing Bitget hard now. Questions about security measures and tech chops are flying everywhere.

Some users are pissed because Bitget decided to settle those VOXEL contracts at discounted rates — you know, just casually breaking user trust like a cheap piñata. And the “hybrid custody” model? Let’s just say it’s not winning any popularity contests after this episode.

One analyst basically said, “Bitget’s house of cards is showing. A hybrid custody pool means systemic risks get a free pass, and letting people open unlimited position sizes? Recipe for disaster.” Sounds like Bitget might just be the next crypto cautionary tale. 🔥

Oh, and for the cherry on top: VOXEL is up for voting on Binance’s “Vote to Delist” program—classic timing for such chaos. The community’s supposed to have a say, but apparently, own chaos is still king.

At the end of the day, this whole Bitget circus just reminds us: centralized exchanges, with all their promises, still have some serious “what the heck?” moments. Hold on to your hats and wallets, folks.
