I recently bought a few STEEM on Poloniex.com, and then i found out that its not possible to transfer STEEM from external sources and into my steemit account. Why is this? As far as i can tell, it is not possible with Steem dollars either.
Wouldn't that just drive the price of STEEM lower and lower on exchanges, since as soon as people transfer it out, their only option is to sell it for BTC, or transfer it to some 3rd party marketplace.
Is it to prevent some kind of abuse that you are not able to use steemit account as a proper STEEM wallet with deposit/withdrawals working as it does on any other coin?
