SBD's are intended to be able to purchase 1 USD worth of Steem. With Steem being around $5 USD, 1 SBD should be 0.20 STEEM.
That some investors would consider SBD's a token that has future potential for going up in value was something not considered when this platform was built.
Maybe there's some more info on timcliff blog posts :)
I know but why is that such a problem for Steemit that we needed urgent intervention and attempts to bring the price down?
I don't see any negatives in it, except what I have mentioned. Only positive as everyone is making more than they ever were + it's creating a huge buying pressure on STEEM in end increasing it's price.
