The Steemit Team
Hi all! Thanks so much for stopping by and asking questions! We'll continue to monitor this post for the rest of the day and check back on Monday, so if you didn't get a chance to ask a question or if something else occurs to you, please don't hesitate to ask!
Especial thanks to the Steemit team for hosting us and giving us this awesome opportunity to interact with all of you!
Flagged for dodging questions!
Please answer the question from @fyrstikken or forever hold your mouth shut!
It was a pleasure collaborating with you!
Are you well enough connected to be more than just useful?
Wonderful Huobi after all these years, welcome! My first question is about the network effect between solid exchanges/Arbitrage in the west and in the east - would you be an actor in bridging more arbitrage routes for STEEM/SBD to for example OKCoin, Bitfinex and the other liquidity hubs in the world of crypto and fiat?
Sincerely
@Fyrstikken INC
Amazing that Steemit is so decentralized that users with sufficient Steempower can influence Steemit Inc's official posts and flag them into being hidden if they don't meet the community guidelines, shows us how amazing and user driven steem really is
Hello, with my qualities posts and content not getting enough visibility,
I would like to plead in any way whether you can help me out by delegating some amount of steem power to me for me to grow my account and curate more. I will be happy for your helping hand been rendered to me and i promise to make careful use of it and use it also to impact and grow others on steemit.
Thanks.

The article actually talks about our strategic partner, Huobi Global, so we don't have an answer for you on this. Sorry!
Hmm. Literally wrote a post about this 15 hours ago. Id love to have this answered as well.
Ok, I'll take a nibble if you don't mind.
How was your experience overall getting STEEM listed? Would you say the implementation was difficult or easy? If you could briefly comment on how it compares to other projects Huobi works with, that would be of great insight.
Assuming you are running a full node (it would make most sense imo), What are your thoughts on the scalability of the STEEM blockchain? And what in your opinion would be ideal targets for hardware requirements to run nodes.
Everyone keeps on talking about DEX, the idea being that the in the future most (not all of course) exchanges would allow users to keep their own funds at all times. With Binance throwing their hat on the ring, so to speak, are you guys planning on following that direction as well? If you can't comment on that precisely (it's very possible) What are your thoughts on the very idea of DEX.
Thanks in advance.
Great questions, @meno! Let us take a stab at it:
Great questions meno. I want to see the response.

Do you understand the value of a SBD:USD pair?
SBD's economic are designed to peg it to USD and there are not such pair available anywhere AFAIK.
Great opportunity for you.
We're definitely looking into SBD but we have nothing beyond that to share at this time, sorry!
Will this affect those who use smart contracts? will it have an impact on the Ethereum price?
The idea of approaching steem, excites me.
Hope we understood your question right - the listing of STEEM on the Huobi Marketplace shouldn't affect any smart contract users or the Ethereum price.
We agree, STEEM is a great project and we're really excited to have them onboard!
Huobi is not from US. they are from China, based in SIngapore and have offices in USA as well but dont try to make them seem American... If nation states dont matter just admit its CHinese
I mean honestly nation states do matter, if you told us there was some North Korean or Venezuelan company people would be really concerned
Hi, unfortunately you are incorrect. The Huobi Marketplace is operated by HBUS, a US company located in San Francisco, CA. We are partnered with Huobi Global, but we are an independent entity.
I think some few people already asked the questions I had in mind. Just a vote of thanks for taking on STEEM. This is a step closer to mass adoption through you for creating more awareness of the existence of STEEM to your already existing community. Great to be in business with you <3
No problem! We're really excited to have STEEM on board.
😊👍🏻
Are you purely an exchange or do you also have a wallet function?
I'm so glad you listed steem and I am setting up my account now. Greetings from Malaysia :)
Glad you're here, @fitinfun! Currently, we're purely an exchange, but have a wallet function built into our platform :) Huobi Group has a Huobi Wallet if you want to check that out: https://www.huobiwallet.com/en/
Thank you very much. I will do that. I am so glad you are here posting on steem and well as adding us to your exchange. This is a great way to get your message out :)
We are glad to be here!
What did you guys see in Steem and the Steem community that made you decide to list us on your exchange?
Our approach to listing projects imagines a future where digital assets are used by more and more people. To achieve that goal we need the support of quality partnerships and community backing, Steemit as a social media platform that rewards users with STEEM for creating/curating content was directly within our radar for a strong and engaging listing. I mean, just today we are already seeing so much engagement from the community!
Thanks for the answer! The Steem Community, hopefully both Steem and Huobi have a bright future ahead working together aside from just joining your exchange :^)
Thank you @huobius I'm happy we have you onboard 😊
More than excited to be here, @chrisrice!
