I didnt know why they (SBDs) were made until now. Having a crypto that is a stable price is for sure a benefit to merchants you dont have to keep changing prices on your listings all day because of volatile crypyo prices.
If the steem we made was given to us in liquid steem dollars instead of SP I would speculate on that instead. I get paid and the only thing I can cash out right away is the SBDs.
It is definitely something to think about. If we got paid in liquid STEEM instead of SBD would things be better or worse in the long run?
