RE: Steem Down 8%! SBD Up 28%!!! Wondering Why? Here's What's Going On!

This is similar to crypto exchanges, where when BTC starts to drop, the other alt coins go up as people transfer from one to the other. It is a hedge and also a great way to play the changes in btc/ alt coin pair rates.

Sorry, I got lazy. Other cryptos. We do really need a more descriptive term for them. They are not limited to currency, and they are not just an alternative, they are the future.
