Good article. Do you have any theories as to why there is a demand for SBD as oppose to Steem? Is it media outlets like this pumping it, having no clue that its not really a cryptocurrency? My instinct is to trade SBD for Steem right away, but I'm acting on such little information. All I know is that SBD is supposed to pegged to dollar. However, like most Steemians, I am fine with it being higher, :D
For some reason certain markets decided that SBD was a good bet. We don't really want it to fluctuate as that makes it less useful for trade. There are some efforts to bring it back down to the peg, but it's not easy. I've been selling it for Steem too as you got such a good rate. You don't get as much Steem now, but then that's worth more anyway. I intend to keep powering up, but plan to take some out to spend. I feel I've earned that.
