Users will have the ability to decide whether their posts, of ‘pulses’, will be public or private. They can choose their nicknames, and then write, share, and like pulses posted by others. Public pulses will also be available for sharing on other online platforms, similarly to tweets. In fact, pulses can go on Twitter and even Facebook, according to the firm’s announcement.
A Bitfinex representative says:
“Unlike eToro, which from its very inception was a social investing network (aimed at a mainstream retail market), Bitfinex Pulse is tailored specifically to the needs of the exchange’s users. The emphasis will be on the niche, high-quality content that this more technically proficient audience requires.”

Bitfinex says that its social media product will host insightful scoops of data, exchanged amongst its members as the community expands.
To sign up with Bitfinex Pulse, a user can choose his or her nickname or use the one already connected to their Bitfinex account on the platform’s Leaderboard. Alternatively, he or she can skip the account setup and view the pulses posted by other users.
We have launched Bitfinex Pulse in response to the demand of our users for a professional content distribution platform for traders. Building on the success of the public leaderboard — which has already created crypto icons on Twitter.” Bitfinex CTO, Paolo Ardoino said
Verified participants can post openly on the platform, as well as communicate via private posts with other users. However, unverified users only have access to private posting.
