SBD to the roof is good for everyone, especially minnows and newcomers, on a short term. Most people are happy, steemit gets good reviews, a good number of people plus influencers coming in. Steemit will be better for it.
And you also get a good SP when powering up.
I don't think it is healthy from investors point of view, most people will be taking payout, which I think may stunt steem somehow (not really sure about that). But I know most people will high SP and steem definitely prefer a spike in steem to SBD anytime.
Edited : December, the month I joined, was a swell period. I made some nice SBD.
Been new to steemit, I thought that was how it would continue. I never really understood the 'power' in steem power, so I missed out on powering up at a good SBD to steem ratio. Then 1 SBD can get you 4 or more SP.
I want another chance to correct that 'mistake'.
