Steem was plagued with wallet issues, so people couldn't move either Steem or SBD to exchanges. Some people stopped posting on Steem because they wanted quick profits instead of hodling.

Not that I remember from it. I had no problem moving funds back and forth to the exchanges and picked up a few different alt coins at the time and more steem as well. I know that there was a pump on it but steem was pushing up that time as well as all the other coins.

At least HitBTC has had Steem and SBD deposits disabled for months... When I tried moving Steem from HitBTC to Bittrex, I had to wait for a while because when HitBTC re-enabled withdrawals after several complaints to customer support, wallet on Bittrex was offline.

Ya there has been a massive issue with them for at least 6 months in the steem and sbd markets. I have never seen them active. All the main exchanges were working fine as far as I know.

The time I was talking about was this time last year when all the prices were on the move and there were big opportunities to trade. I used it to top up my sp which was pretty much non existent at the time.

I only know what happened with exchanges and Steem between October 2017 and December 2017... After that I switched to trading other coins as profit for long term trading on Steem in Bittrex was quite good. I just ride the bottoms and tops instead of trying to maximize short term profit.
