Defend Poloniex with devil's advocate all you want. I sure did. I loved them. And again, And ... I kind of did, again. Then finally, Tristan D'Angosta's [persistent lack of] Customer Support, and cold neglect broke me. He makes well over $100 Million dollars a year. He can afford good Customer Support, right now. But he doesn't do it.

The article mentions an announcement on bitcointalk. Any idea where that thread is?

How can someone be so fucking wrong..... Also, what was the need to do that? Why put personal credibility on stake for nothing... unless he was shorting big time back then...

Um, more likely he'd wind up with a load of worthless shite that he can gaily send to himself back and forth while eating from his nosebag.

When will people like this figure out that the world will not revolve around them no matter what they attempt?

One thing is that the past 21 months have been so fucking amazing - really from $250 to $4190 - and even the 80% increase in the past couple of weeks.

Great thing about this rally is the corrections that are stopping it from going parabolic..but they do still make me panic a bit even though I'm in the black since a long time..

Thanks. People who think that we may see sub $1000 or even sub $2000 (possibly, too early to tell) again are delusional at best. Just take a look recently what happened:
1) Major exchange is gone (BTC-e).
2) Biggest Bitcoin mixer is gone (bitmixer).
3) Several darkmarkets are gone.

What has Bitcoin been doing since these events occurred? Kept skyrocketing. The honey badger does not give a fuck and keeps storing wealth.

This is crazy!!!!!! Remember during the last crash when people were contemplating suicide. That time is probably just around the corner, but will be a much worse this time as we have mainstream media attention at a larger scale

There needs to be an organized international class action against the FBI to recover the customer funds and other losses incurred.

Is this "sell the news" or speculation that once SegWit gets activated there will be problems?

Or just the fact that the price stopped climbing so people will take this opportunity to sell some coins until the next leg up.

They stated all users have to do verification.

I feel old.

Confirm. Poloniex is still not working for me while i'm not using any vpn / proxy / tor etc. I'm afraid that after those issues would be solved it will cause a huge wave of panic withdraws and it's reputation may suffer.

This is so confusing, users on Yobit exchange are already selling BCC and it is tanking as expected. If the fork has not happened yet, where on earth are they getting the BCC from? Can some please explain? Thanks!
