this is normal ...they do it from time to time ...don't worry it will come back and will be enabled and then disabled after few days and enabled again then disabled
...i saw it enabled and disabled about 10 times in the last 3 month
i remember once - it was disabled for more than a week one on Poloniex
but then it comes back

You have to understand that things happen for reasons.
Of course it does not seems to be fair, but you would be lucky to have your steem on their platform. It turns out that polo and bittrex have been loosing transfers from their wallets, thus having a lot of complaints from users about numbers.
Of course we don't usually get the info until it happens to us. I would strongly recommend: 1) First of all, have your steem backed up by a different method and not leave them on the exchange. and 2) very important you keep track regularly of your investments and always beware of any important issue, from sudden price changes, to the horrifying software troubles we all hate.

total agree.
in that case that my steem was on Poloniex and i could not move it to steemit was only for a week (i have sold my ETH for an awesome price and bought steem) - i keep all my steem in steemit, not in the exchange - it gives me power and in steemit power is money :)

yes the exchanges are taking advantage of the fact that they are so few and investors don't have to many choices
also this industry is growing a lot in the last times and will grow much more in the future.
I remember in the end of the 90's the yahoo mail would also crash from time to time as it was only the beginning of the email era and also they would multiply users very quickly - until they have reached a number that is not growing so much as in the past and the service is more stable - same will happen with the exchanges going forward in time

hey bro ...don't worry
Poloniex is sh!#t and they might freeze the service for a week or so but i have never heard of someone that lost his money there - sooner or later the service will come back
