Yesterday I started listening to Steemit 101 lesson on discord. (Steemspeak)
It was so much fun I stayed listening till 1:30 am before I crashed. I find it very intriguing how the Steem blockchain is percieved by new members and what kind of questions they have.
Steemspeak, in general, is a great place to find Steemit members. Check it out if you haven't.
Poloniex
As of writing the spread between Steem on Bitrex and Steem on Poloniex is 5000 Statashis per Steem. That is a lot.
The reason why this is happening is simple: You can't withdrawal your STEEM from Poloniex for a lot of days now. The only way to get STEEM of Poloniex is to sell it for another crypto.
It's putting extra selling pressure on the STEEM price on Poloniex.
I think when Poloniex finally fixes this the price of Steem will correct upwards.
I wouldn't recommend it, but If you like gambling it's an opportunity to buy some cheap Steem I guess.
I just wanted to showcase how much damage these withdrawal issues are having on the Steem price.
Being able to get your crypto of an exchange is so important when it comes to the trustworthiness of an exchange.
800.000 transactions in a day
A couple of days ago the Steem blockchain went above 800.000 transactions in a day! That is amazing and shows growth to me.
Also, active UNIQUE user activity was up to almost 25 thousand users in one day. That is fantastic!
I talk about it more in my vlog.
