Looks like the "wild wild west" days are over for Poloniex, they are going to the light side of the force. These preps look like KYC (know your customer) preps, to user banker parlance. Poloniex might be getting ready to shed a bunch of their poopcoins also, as perhaps they will apply for a NY BitLicense to join Coinbase and Japan's BitFlyer.

We suspect it's time for punters to look for decentralized private exchanges now.

Note: this is also a move to quell poopcoins by the establishment. if Poloniex can't traffic in suspect stuff anymore, then a lot of coins will cease to trade (exist).

2018 is going to be a different kind of year than 2017, rest assured.

Timely post dogeking, thx. We've never resteemed ANYTHING before, so this was our first.
