RE: SBDs Are AHEAD of Steem! Haha.. So Much For the Claims That SBD Will Never Get Boosted Again!

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

thanks - I listened to about 25 minutes of it and enjoyed it so far - it's good to hear time and aggroed talk on this. that said, i still don't understand how this process would work in reality. if someone holds $100SBD that are valued at $1000USD and suddenly $1USD of STEEM is worth $1SBD through force in Steem's internal system then wouldn't that result in a rapid sale of steem for SBDs on the internal market, with the SBDs then being dumped on the external markets - making the holders of STEEM that use Steem as a utility suddenly able to make massive profits and then everyone else on the external markets losing out hugely? Maybe I am misunderstanding the mechanics here, but the details appear to be being missed out - either that or the idea is madness.. lol

it sounds like the plan is to artificially fix the exchange rate of Steem to SBD in the internal market, ignoring the price feeds generated by witnesses.. but since that hasn't been specifically stated, i accept there may be a completely different mechanism involved that i haven't understood and which hasn't been fully described.

Sort:  

I also don't understand it all. I'm on 50:00 mark and they are still talking about Steem/SBD price.
