RE: Ned on SBD: "Does the community want to continue to be paid out in Steem Dollars?"

[smooth]

There is no reason that SBD couldn't be exchanged directly with USD (or EUR other relatively stable fiat) and paid directly to a bank account. There just don't happen to be exchanges offering that service right now, but it is inevitable if the platform were to grow enough that would happen. In fact some exchanges were already considering it months ago but have apparently backed away as Steem as a whole has cratered.
