Poloniex has shown themselves to be incompetent time and time again, and since Steemit.com already pay for all the traffic it receive, it only make sense to open up trading for other currencies right here on our very own Decentralized+Centralized hybrid exchange.
Many of us have waited for months on Poloniex to withdraw funds, apparently they were too busy trolling in the trollbox then paying attentions to tens of thousands of new users signing up every month thanks to Steemit.com.
So why do we need external exchanges when Steemit.com in combination with ChainBase & the proposed Community Token DEX obviously can do a much better job.
Our Systems will in the future be capable to do a whole lot more than just blogging, commenting, upvote & send funds.... Just sayin..
