Reviews of this exchange give a mixed assessment. Among the undoubted advantages it is worth noting excellent liquidity, a wide range of forks, as well as the possibility of lending. Poloniex is a great example of the exchange, suitable for beginners and for professionals. But, there are also significant disadvantages: the terrible work of the support service, the answer from which you can wait for months. Sometimes, at the most interesting time, the exchange may not be available. In addition, the exchange, taking advantage of the information advantage, can play against its participants.
