Not that I remember from it. I had no problem moving funds back and forth to the exchanges and picked up a few different alt coins at the time and more steem as well. I know that there was a pump on it but steem was pushing up that time as well as all the other coins.

At least HitBTC has had Steem and SBD deposits disabled for months... When I tried moving Steem from HitBTC to Bittrex, I had to wait for a while because when HitBTC re-enabled withdrawals after several complaints to customer support, wallet on Bittrex was offline.
Ya there has been a massive issue with them for at least 6 months in the steem and sbd markets. I have never seen them active. All the main exchanges were working fine as far as I know.
The time I was talking about was this time last year when all the prices were on the move and there were big opportunities to trade. I used it to top up my sp which was pretty much non existent at the time.

I only know what happened with exchanges and Steem between October 2017 and December 2017... After that I switched to trading other coins as profit for long term trading on Steem in Bittrex was quite good. I just ride the bottoms and tops instead of trying to maximize short term profit.
