Why isn't the value of steem updated instantly on steemit wallet?
And I know sbd's were supposed to be around $1 but why doesn't steemit wallet show their current value?

Sort:  

The estimated account value shown in the Steemit wallet uses a a 3.5 day average of the Steem price. Then the SBD's are counted as $1 each in there.

Steemit both pay's out SBD's and values (in the wallet) as if they were $1 USD. While I'm sure they could change it to better reflect the actual market value...I would think this would also cause you to no longer be paid out using 1 SBD = $1 USD...instead it would be like Steem where it factors in the (avg) market price.

I'm sure they could make the SBD value be more 'accurate' to the market..but would it really be worth losing all the money when you'd be so much less SBD's from a payout ?

No 😁
Let's keep sbd's the way they are.
