great post but plane looks like it's going down :P

Poloniex suck people is withdrawing all their money from there.

"It's very rare even for me today to find someone that understands crypto and has a passion for the space as much as I do."

How about you organize a Steem event in The Netherlands? I think you might the most senior Dutch Steemian on the platform.. Or did @Roelandp beat you to that punch?

So the stereotypes of Dutch people being tall is really true, isn't it? I've heard that you guys have it quite tough when travelling to Asian countries because the average height being much lower.

Awesome photographs @exyle sir, you have a great family and poloniex disable steem deposits no worries,  in my opinion blocktrades is better than polo.

nice @exyle sir steemit is a really fantastic platfarm it attract people and when we work on it i think then we not leave it and really a great platfarm we also mostly talk on it when we gathring any weher and wish u ur travel and enjoy ur crispy dishes to leave ur diet sir

Seems like a lot of fun! I wish I had someone to talk to about cryptos :D none of my friends understand this at all basically. 
Poloniex seems to be at it again. it's really annoying.

As always @exyle is the Food Desjure - King of the Plate ... and Master of the Green Egg ~  Powering up is the only way to Wonderland :)

Great that you had a smooth and safe journey all the way to London. Amazing to see how @ezzy was willing to pick you guys up which definitely is a nice gesture and shows how strong your relationship is just purely from meeting on steem haha

Did Bianca enjoy the steem and cryptocurrency talks? :)

I guess that is another one of the great pleasures of steem. It is such a great tight knit community which you wouldn't find on any other social media platform. Everyone has love and endearment for each other and hopefully that still remains as the platform grows.

That Dutch windmill is pretty cool. I've never seen a windmill in person before but I rarely go into the countryside much.

On a plane extra leg room is everything. Your flight experience goes from 0 - 100 real quick as you have that little extra room to stretch and be free in your little bubble on the plane.

The breakfast looks absolutely delicious and I'm glad that you are having a great time in London @exyle! :)

Yes, Poloniex have again disabled STEEM deposits and withdrawal, which is why i guess the price of STEEM has fallen a bit.  It is now the time to seriously question Poloniex Steem price  manipulation , are they doing it deliberately? quit them as quickly as possible.....

Better than the virtual life is a real life.

Can I have this food ? :))

Interesting morning read again.  Beautiful shots and always good information.  Thanks for sharing.

" I already booked extra leg space."

haha!

Wish you all the good luck for your London stay. I am sure you'd have fun there. About poloniex, Yes is has again closed the Steem and SBD withdrawals. I also heard they have changed their terms and conditions of exchange and their new term and conditions are very controversial. 
Right now I am using Bittrex for SBD withdrawal. I hope it would get resolved soon.

Good post, about poloniex i will never use it again and only if can i would delete my account there, i saw how centralized exchangers disappear with people money from 2013 only cryptsy got some of my bitcoins even when i was sure their days was countered, i hope everyone stop using centralized exchangers so decentralized ones will flourish :)

Yes, steem become a regular work for me. Though I am not so expert, but you know friend I am so excited to see every time that how much votes coming to my post. You are so powerful and genius friend that everyone expects upvotes and support from you. You describe your journey so much upvotes comes to you, but I am suffering from depression and anxiety why don't much people supporting me. I upvote regularly to my friends, but some are responding some not. Please advice me so that I can achieve the goal. Thanks for the valuable post.Happy. steeming friend.

poloniex again started the drama i now never using it

> Poloniex has disabled deposits and withdrawals again.

This frightens me, especially since Bittrex is also on automated maintenance and I cannot access my funds there either.

*Do you know what is causing all of these issues with exchanges?*

It sure makes me *not* want to hold steem.

Looks like so much fun doing a steemit meet-up! I hope you enjoyed England. And yea poloniex, I don't know what is going on there but I've gotten all my assets off poloniex for now and I don't plan on going back.

Just goes to show you that friends can be made in some very different places. It is obvious you are a real foodie! Amazing photos too.

Don't know whats wrong with polonix.

I just noticed Polo had disabled Steem again last night.  Here's a chart from the Daily Steem Report published by @penguinpablo.

It looks like they started this again on 8/6, which is shocking and terribly frustrating b/c they just got it back up and running, but what I found even more disturbing was the amount of Steem people were sending to Polo after all the problems they've had.   I was hoping we could get some of the Steem off Polo, which we did, but not put more in, lol.  :(     I agree that it's putting a tremendous amount of pressure on the Steem price at a time where the crypto market as a whole is showing some nice gains.   Not good. 

The only logical thing we can do as a community is to spread the word to refrain from using Polo for any Steem based transactions.  Polo has become like a black hole for Steem, it can come in but it sure as hell isn't going to come out.   The more members we can make aware of the pitfalls of dealing with Polo in regards to Steem, the better it will be for Steemit in the long run.  

Hope you and Bianca have a great time in London.  There's nothing like just getting away for a bit and experiencing new things and relaxing with friends.   Have a fun and safe trip brother!!

You guys have a great time in London!! It's one of the places I've always wanted to visit!  :)  the situation with poloniex is troubling and my husband explained it to me a couple of weeks ago and how damaging it is for steem.  it seems like everything is not what it seems.   i know he had plans to increase our steem position but has held off  b/c of the exchange issues.  he explained it to me like this, it doesn't matter how great a product you have, if the customers can't buy it.   hopefully this will work it's self out soon because we would all like to see a better steem price.

Look at that crisp British air in the kitchen in that video! ;O) You have gotta have a laugh, it makes the day brighter. Enjoy your stay on these shores!

Hey, I've read a lot of @ezzy novellas. I like his style.

I would definitely pay the extra money for more leg room on your flight to Lisbon. It just seems so cramped in the regular spots without it. 

I have a feeling that one of the reasons why price of Steem is going down is because Poloniex has stopped Steem deposits and withdrawals. It's another reason why I believe it's better not keep tokens on exchanges unless you're planning on immediately trading them. 

Enjoy your trip! just went to London Myself.
