Yes, STEEM/SBD goes up and down. When you get paid for content on the STEEM Blockchain you earn the equivalent of "internet points", and the market decides what those points are worth. A few months ago 1 STEEM was worth a dollar, and now they trade for 4 or 5 dollars. They may trade for 50 dollars in a year or two or even back down to a dollar again. Generally as the network grows and matures the price should naturally have a tendency to go up. No conspiracy. If content creators want the price to go up all they need to do is hold the STEEM token and keep creating valuable content.

Thanks, that's good information. Do you have any insight why SBD is lower than Steem now? I know it was intended to be pegged to a USD, but is there a force trying to drive it there?
I'm not sure what is driving the SBD price. I expect it to trade back down to $1 in the following weeks. It's best to convert it to STEEM before the price falls any further.
