I didn't even know they had gone up and didn't get to benefit as I'm sure many of you did today, I actually sold to buy some Dash because I think it's going to go up here soon. My plan is to play around with it a bit to practice trading and see whether my studies have paid out.
Hopefully I will get as lucky as last week when I predicted this beauty:
I didn't want to sell my Steem Dollars because I want to help Steem as much as possible and trading for other coins is not the way, I wouldn't think so. But I am actually glad I did because now I can speak about how easy the process of withdrawing is. It has been 8 months and I never felt the need to withdraw, I always figured I'd have access to my Steemit funds because otherwise I'd hear users complain about it.
I could also go into other people's wallets and see how they were able to withdraw, given that Steemit is not my first crypto rodeo I wasn't really interested. I was wrong in my guess, because if I had taken funds out I would know how fast it can be.
This has been by far the fastest confirmation to Poloniex to date. While I'm not loving the fact that I had to take it to Polo for I have a complicated history with them, I was very much pleased with the whole process.
Should all play out as I am hoping, then I should be able to buy back what I sold very soon. I think I will get STEEM this time though, I want to experience a deposit too.
