Poloniex Pulls Service for New Hampshire Customers

After a long days work, there's nothing quite like scrolling through the biggest alt coin exchange to see what's going on...

And now, my watch has ended...

Poloniex offered margin trading and lending, which were useful tools and it's a shame to lose access to one of the biggest crypto exchanges, but there are alternatives.  I just worry that other big exchanges will start to follow suit.

Will Hive account@bittrex be next?  Hive account@blocktrades?  What about Circle or Coinbase?  I doubt it extends that far, but it's insane that we even have to deal with this in the "Live Free or Die State".

It demonstrates how the State can't affect blockchains, but it can control the on/off ramps...until decentralized ones with real liquidity and volume emerge.

For those outside of NH, here is when the news broke that we may start to see these sorts of things happen:

But I forgot...it's probably all just to keep us safe, so it's cool.  That Delaware based company is a real threat to my life up here in NH apparently, and I'm just too dumb to realize it.  So thanks, state bureaucrats!  You're the real heroes!
