We will see true value discovery when exchanges are prevented from pumping the prices of all crypto assets. Then we'll see how valuable everything is really perceived to be.
Bid bots are simply fake it till you make it, everyone is vying for consistent whale votes, and vote buyers do provide some of the price floor for SBD. I would estimate however that 99% of the reason SBD is so insanely priced is pump and dump groups out of Upbit.
