I have Officially Lost Most Of The Faith I had In Poloniex. Problems Logging Onto Account Are Unacceptable.

When I atempted to log onto my Poloniex account this morning like I always do, I was met with a message stating invalid email/password 3 times in a row.

While it is not uncommon for me to accidentally mistype my long alphanumeric password, three times in a row was simply not possible. This instantly scared the life ou of me because I assumed my account/email had been hacked. I use the email exclusively for Poloniex, and same with the password. When I checked my email I had realized I hadn't been hacked, bu rather for some reason Poloniex was malfunctioning, and I eventually was locked ou of my account for 20 minutes. I am simply trying to withdrawl some of my balance and check on my lending orders before I go out of town this weekend, but it is looking like that's not gonna be able to happen. 

In my opinion, there is a clear difference between lagging and slow orders and site speed in general, and not allowing users to access their accounts. No allowing me to log on o access my account is a major red flag on any financial platform, but specifically cryptocurrency platforms because the volatility means individuals should always have quick and easy access to their accounts. I obviously don't keep my investments or buy and hold positions on the site, but even just not being able to access the BTC i have in my balance is a major inconvenience for a trader like me. While it is only a major inconvience for a trader of my size, for a large trader this could be quite detrimental. I know that Poloniex has been seeing higher trading volume and activity than ever before, but I would have thought that they could have been on top of it by now. I lost much of the respect and faith that I had for Poloniex over the past few weeks, and for the first ime I intend to look for alternatives. 

I have been trying to give Poloniex the benefit of the doubt in these types of conditions, because I know they were unprepared, but at this point it is simply taking too long to scale and increase with the demand. I am not going to write Poloniex off forever, but I don't see myself using the platform until they get this figured out. 

 I am going out of town for a siblings gradutation from college so I won't be posting for several days, but I will still be around as much as I can be. I urge you to leave any comments or disscussions below! Thanks for reading!
