I most certainly don't know everything but I do know that the effectiveness of sbdpotato in helping to restore the convertibility of SBD into $1 worth of STEEM (by reduction of the SBD supply, the debt ratio, and therefore the conversion haircut) is a mathematical certainty under a limited set of very reasonable assumptions (such as Steem having non-zero value).
Any claims to the contrary are either mistaken or deliberate misinformation.
