Wow, I didn't know you had the same thoughts.

Have you read the reply of @thejohalfiles where he shared one of the old replies of @dantheman that:

"I think we as a community can move Steem Dollar to a Steem Silver backing when the time comes. I think it would be worthwhile starting a discussion on when the Steem Dollar would switch its peg so that investors and speculators can factor in this added benefit.

It is clear that hyperinflation of the U.S. dollar is something that we should consider and any kind of "protection" that we can offer would probably help boost the value of Steem Dollars relative to bank dollars."

Maybe it's time to peg SBD to Silver instead of Dollar? Maybe some big whales noticed the comment of @dantheman before pumping SBD with belief that it will be official? Just my thoughts!
