I Was Bout To Increase My LTC Holdings By 50% But Poloniex Said No

So I got a notification from @bitcoinmeister to check out [this post](https://steemit.com/steemit/@bitcoinmeister/steem-dollars-are-now-selling-for-usd1-50-on-poloniex-take-advantage-of-this-odd-situation-now) because apparently Poloniex is selling Steem Dollars (SBD) at a premium of *$1.50 per coin*, which is at least .50c more than they're supposed to.

My cleaver idea was to hop on to another exchange and use my LTC holdings to buy up SBD then hop onto Poloniex and sell it at a 50% premium and beef up my LTC holdings... but *alas!* Poloniex doesn't accept users who reside in WA!!!!

Blast you, *Poloniex* -- ***BLAST YOU!!!***

I tried getting a vpn with bitcoin a few months ago. For some reason it wouldn't process the payment. Otherwise, yeah, VMN ftw.

I feel your pain. I'm still in the process of pulling everything off Poloniex because they are no longer serving WA accounts.

This has got to be WA's fault somehow.
