ENTRY GUESS 516
First off, thank you @happyme for the prize from the last round. That win was a pleasant surprise.
It's worth noting that the massive spike in the prices of STEEM and SBD that we saw not too long ago was led by the South Korean exchanges opening up their trading platforms to STEEM and SBD. So when word of the impending crypto ban in South Korea started to spread a day or two ago, it was no surprise that the prices would plummet. I'm not panicking though; I'm in no rush to cash anything out anytime soon. Just gotta keep Steeming on for the long-term!
Thank-you! It was a surprise to me too. As I went through the list of selected numbers it seemed like there would be no winners this week, but then there you were with your guess. I found it kind of strange that the rolled numbers were so close to last week's rolled numbers, but that is what came from the dice!
I was worried that a higher Steem price would make it more difficult to collect Steem, however it seems that by having a higher price, everyone's vote gets bigger and it actually makes it easier to collect due to the greater value of rewards. That's a nice surprise for me. BUT if the price of SBD were at $1 USD where it is supposed to be, the picture would likely be quite different. THEN a high Steem would cost so many more SBD to buy. As long as SBD stay higher or equal to Steem, we are very lucky to be here earning it now.
