Oh boi, Bitmex is down during the start of a possible bear market, are we upon a new montgox ? I'm really freaked out with this as I was trading just 10 minutes ago there. You can read on there :

"Temporary Downtime In Progress

BitMEX is currently undergoing maintenance.
Please view the BitMEX Status Page for updates, refer to our blog for further details."

But this is kinda sus because to my knowledge every updates where planned and this one ain't. No communication about this on twitter except that funds are safe (for now). I wonder what is their definition of safe considering that people are allowed up to 100x leverage and that they did not explain why they need to do an unplanned maintenance. So what do you think about this ? Do you think that funds are really SAFU ? 

Edit : It's up again with trading disabled, not an exit scam I guess. Make me wonder about going fully decentralized.

Edit 2 : Trading resuming with high volatility, hope you guys will make good profit tonight
