Thank you for the Indonesian translation of Steem News.
Bittrex ceasing operations in the US might be a story worth covering. As far as I know Bittrex has been the only major exchange accessible to US residents that has listed Steem, so once it cuts off the USA it's going to be much harder for Americans to do anything with Steem from a financial perspective.
That sounds like it is going to make life more difficult for US Steemians.
Will you be writing a post about it?
I posted this post when I first heard about it, not sure I have much more to say about it.
Thanks for this.
Thank you for your hard work and support!
You are welcome.
Hello sir @pennsif
Sorry in advance if disturbing 🙏
Shortly after you announced @pennsif.witness I am happy to support the witness.
I'd love it if you could see me, and give me directions if I make a mistake.
Just keep doing what you are doing...
Thank you sir @pennsif 🙏😀
I'am happy
Mohon maaf pak @pennsif
Hampir semua tantangan keterlibatan Steemit disetiap musim dan minggu yang diselenggarakan - saya selalu mengikutinya, tapi akhir-akhir ini saya terlihat sepi.
Apa yang membuat saya ditinggalkan?
Saya ingin memperbaikinya 🙏
