Bits and Pieces - Raise your hands if you left Poloniex

in bitsandpieces •  7 years ago 

I lost a month ago. I plan to sell $ 14 for my 23 SBD. I transferred to poloniex and was not refunded, I'm worried I will lose this amount

Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones. Write to them and if they don't answer, write posts about them. The people have a voice and bad press will maybe save the next victim from joining Poloniex.

How can I write to them? Please show me. I also wrote an article about poloniex a month ago, but I do not see any response. I have read many news about this issue, people predict it wants to keep people's money until the price down.

TL;DR

I don't blame you.. Holy shit, that's a COMMENT. My bad. Just something I'm passionate about..
These exchanges and their shitty customer service and market manipulation tactics (wallets under "maintenance" during times they don't want people buying/selling, simulated crashes by selling in large quantities when dips begin to buy up the fear sells at even lower prices, not responding to emails until markets act a certain way or until they decide they want to let go of a certain amount of capital, etc.. I've seen it all..) are what I'm against. I'm tired of people not being able to get their money or have their issues dealt with in a timely manner and honestly, it all seems a bit scammy with poloniex. Pull out as soon as you can and don't trust any exchange currently, just my opinion. I'd buy/sell in small amounts using instant exchanges like shapeshift and hold any crypto in cold wallets on your computer somewhere safe or a thumb drive.. lol


I sensed a lot of market manipulation tactics from poloniex.. unfortunately.. bittrex wasn't much better and had much higher prices and fees.. To me, my experience with any of the other 20+ exchanges I've tried in the past few months has been so terrible.. It's actually unmentionable in my eyes, simply for the fact that, to me, even saying their name would be a form of promotion and I don't even want anyone to deal with them.. even out of CURIOSITY. LOL.

It seems there needs to be a new platform where people aren't getting screwed and customer support is intensive.. Something along the lines of actually having people you can call on the phone at any given time, TRUE customer support.. not some "email us and we'll get back to you" or some automated response email telling you how "valuable" you are.. yet it takes weeks/months to hear from a human.. To me, it makes more sense to not have an email contact, but rather have phone lines and you can talk to real people who can work on your account in real-time. THIS is what would please MANY people and the fact of the matter is that it's not being done because a lot of these exchanges are being designed from the ground up to be exit-scams.. it's fucked up.. I learned the hard way with many exchanges.. but most notably.. Cryptsy took basically my LIFE from me in earnings/savings/gains from trading crypto.. but it seemed legit.. and customer support worked fine.. for a long time.. thus gaining as much of a user-base as it did.. but it wasn't legit. It ran so flawlessly though.. That people lost millions of dollars... billions at today's rates.. in crypto holdings..

The lesson to be learned was.. never keep more than 20-30% of your total amount you're willing to risk in any given exchange.. let alone "cloud mining" site or anything of that sort that I consider very very very high risk.. It's sad that we can't trust people to hold our money, pay them FEES (profit in their pocket for their work designing the sites) that fatten their pockets beyond their wildest dreams.. yet they STILL have the gall to run off with everyone's money.. When theoretically.. they could just operate legitimately and be billionaires before death on fees alone on day-trading.. not to mention their own personal selling and buying when there are dips/peaks.. To me, even as a thief.. just charge higher fees.. don't exit scam.. there will always be people who will be willing to pay higher fees.. then you don't have to steal.. well.. not in a completely shitty way, at least.. and you can have all that shit that you're greedy for.. and not make people completely hate you and not trust shit ever again fully..

I have a domain I wanted to do something like that with.. but I don't have the coding or web knowledge to create such an exchange or maintain it and I'd need a team regardless to protect it from security threats and hacks.. If I had guidance I'd get shit done, cuz I'm tired of getting screwed by exchanges. Both in response time/quality/effort and in fees.. It's simply greed when they trade in volumes that they do and charge the traders what they do.. it may seem "minimal" but it's profit-driven. Fuck that. I just want reliability and I will be happy to pay the fees, but in lacking that.. There needs to be more options.. Solid ones.. With clarity and AMAZING customer support.

I think I'm going to try to dedicate myself to learning the skills I need.. but the community needs this RIGHT NOW lol.. so I just wish I could do something.. my domain is PERFECT for anything crypto/tech-related.

Sorry for your loss and thanks for letting us know about poloniex.. will be carefu@ htooms..
