So...
It looks like Poloniex is delisting (mostly) Steem.

Does this leave blocktrades as the only exchange for Steem?
After reading through several recent postings by various naysayers of the Steemit platform, I'm not sure what to think. I'm rather new to this whole crypto scene, and was hoping to sit on some Steem once I figure out how the whole network functions and whether or not I want to try my hand at running a node.
However, I did indeed notice that several of the top witnesses are powering down as mentioned by (apparently) unmentionable users. I tried to make some sense out of the various choices people were making by looking at whether or not a witness voting for or against HF 21 was a decision point. It looked like there was a soft correlation... with the HF20 voters powering down more often than HF21 voters. That would make sense to me... and also relieve some of the FUD floating around about purposeful destruction of the Steem blockchain to destroy possible evidence of possible legal import.
Then again... if the Steem platform is in fact dying due to various reasons... and all off ramps will soon be closed...
Then what?
Do I take my few pennies and forget the platform?
Or stick around and try to ignore the bridges collapsing (or being purposefully destroyed) ?
BTW... Steem coin seems to worth about $0.17 at the moment... so the FUD around trading below $0.01 seems unfounded... unless it is?
Someone is bound to get hurt in the drunken throwing darts game of crypto currencies
