    As a third-party cryptocurrency exchange, BYDFi cannot provide legal advice, but generally speaking, estoppel can be used as a defense in cryptocurrency disputes. Estoppel is a legal doctrine that prevents a party from taking a position that is inconsistent with their previous statements or conduct. In the context of cryptocurrency, estoppel can be invoked when one party has relied on the representations or actions of another party and has suffered harm as a result. However, it's important to consult with a qualified legal professional to understand how estoppel may apply to your specific case and jurisdiction.
