coinpayments is able to exchange sbd at least for other cryptos. Bit of a pain in the royal backside but it can be done. Part of the problem I have with steemit is that it's so difficult to invest into. If I want to buy steem with money, I have to first invest in another cryptocurrency first and then exchange it. I would've thought creating an account on blocktrades would've allowed me to just buy but nope.
Also not looking forward to what comes about with my voting power after HF20. Makes my vote worthless.
