So a week ago or something like that something like 30M usdt were stolen, I was already thinking about cashing out my tether and this event made me feel like the big fuck I was expecting to happen was finally happening.
I go into my Bittrex account, and decide to convert my USDT into ETH through changelly.com, but I find out my account is not verified so I can't send shit. I did basic verification, I even used my real infos (which I'm not really happy about) and like I expected, they didn't find anything in the records as I am not a US Citizen. They invite me to do an enhanced verification, which is even worse than inserting your real infos, they even ask you to send them a selfie (fucking gay right?), I waited a day and sent them everything. After 10 minutes, they reply to me with "Name Mismatch", I look up the same error on internet and looks like it's a common issue so I email support as suggested. After something like a week still no reply, I log into my Bittrex account and apparently I was upgraded to basic user even thought I still get the same error when I click on basic verification, but apparently now I can withdraw 0.4 BTC which is perfect. I go on changelly, and as if I wasn't unlucky enough, I find out THEY FUCKING REMOVED USDT. So I go on shapeshift, I select usdt, and guess what? TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. You gotta be shittin me.
How do I go about this? What the heck do I even do now? $770 trashed in the bin I fucking knew it.
How about poloniex? They still seem to be using USDt. After you get this sorted (hopefully) I simply suggest you to stay as far from USDt as possible...
Hell yeah I will never use USDT again. I can't use poloniex though, cause I think I would have to add a bank account, which I dont. My only way to withdraw is literally convert it into another currency, but I can't do it... So far the only idea I've got is to use the official site to convert into BTC, but it's fucking nuts cause there would be huge fees most likely.
