RE: SBD update 06.01.18 - triangle completed

in #sbd7 years ago

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!!!

Sort:  

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.
