Thanks for sharing! Love that SBD is trading for WAY more than the $1 it’s supposed to be pegged to. I can’t figure out why it’s rising though. Why do people want it? I convert mine to STEEM, and don’t see the value in SBD. I’m still a rookie with the currencies here though so would love some insight. Thanks!!!

One of the reasons why traders want it is because it is in very short supply, and it takes a long time to create more of it. Also very few people have actually stockpiled it (at least before the first rise in price), so it's unlikely that anyone can dump a lot of SBD to crash the price themselves, making it a pretty stable investment. At least that is my take on it, but there can of course be different reasons ;)
Thanks for the insight. That concept makes sense but i can’t see what’s driving a demand. On the site, we use steem and sp for everything so why is sbd needed for anyone? The sbd we get is brand new and in short supply but i don’t see what utilization is has for being something people want? Unless it’s just because it’s a crypto and thus people want it. Lol. It works for us!! I love that sbd is higher than steem!!!
I get what you're saying, and at this point I agree with you. However, back in the day it was worth $1 per SBD, and it has backings to ensure that it's value will never fall below that price. For if you bought it at $1 you had a crypto that could not lose any value, but still gain value, which is a good deal! However, at the current prices I don't get why people still want it.
