You ever just roll out of bed and want to update some support tickets and yell at someone? I did tonight. I have had a handful of Steem and SBD wrapped up in Poloniex limbo the past three weeks, with little to no updates on my two tickets since the assets got locked up. I got pissed, most of my crypto, is that right now, because of various circumstances, I couldn't trade anywhere with anything because I didn't have access to anything at all! Sure, I could have started small on another exchange, but that would be pretty annoying. (Considering doing this right now anyways because Polo is on my shit list)

I've been having a quite stressful time of it the past few weeks, due to no one particular source other than money, which isn't everything in the slightest, but is helpful. I'm a good trader, I've made about 400% profit since starting in crypto three months ago with little to zero liquid capital and little to know economics knowledge. I grinded smart and super hard, and now I have to start all over again with this SUPER volatile market we have right now. (I don't mind it, as a trader and not a holder primarily) So when I wake up from a nap, I want to check charts and trade, it's fun, it's money, I like it, I want to consider myself good at it.
I can't do that if Polo doesn't give me my fucking money though, it's extremely irritating, to the point where I had a third ticket about to be opened with their support team titled "THREE WEEKS, LOST STEEM/SBD, NO UPDATES" where I was calling them out for not having anywhere near the response time they need for such an important sector of the world. I went to go check the txid's on a few of the transactions to add them to the ticket, and realized "wait a minute, my deposit history looks weird".
They would fix it without telling anybody that's lost their shit, other than a generic e-mail a week or two ago stating "We know we suck, when we fix it you'll get your money." How terrible is that support though??? I almost exploded on some poor person for zero reason other than they just can't keep up with thier user base. While I do appreciate what Polo does/brings to our community, I'm looking for a new place to trade, how are Kraken and Bittrex? Thanks for reading my rant, share with me how Poloniex has screwed you over or tied up your money in the past, ta-ta for now!

This sounds very infuriating, a 400 percent return is certainly nothing to scoff at though. probably won't be using poloniex when I pick an exchange
Well this return was during my first month and half of trading, it hasn't done much since with all the BTC drops and such making the market a bloodbath, great time to start buying though! I just wish I didn't have to liquidate so much of it when I did, it could be much much larger than it is now.
I stepped away from pol for this exact reason. It can be so frustrating, I'm sorry your going threw it, its part of the frontier that is crypto but totally does the same thing to me lol I just get overwhelmingly angry about not having the liquid I should. I use cex.io and kraken they have their glitches but have done well for me so far. I'm glad your getting it done with trading, its a world I love so much it makes me happy when other people get pumped about it:-) hope your day is lovely and you are well!! ;-)
