I know mate. I am being super patient these days. I was not as patient during the first month or two of joining steemit but I have learned my lesson during time. I have studied the charts of both Steem and SBD. You are 100% right about everything you ever told me. Steem is "growing up" like a human; slowly, surely and healthily. It's one coin to invest long-term, no doubt about that. However, by just taking a look at the charts history of both coins, Steem has never ever touched the heights SBD has during "violent" spikes. Plus, when both "pump" SBD is running SUPER FAST compared to Steem (I witnessed that with my own eyes 5-6 weeks ago that we had this small pump). SBD was 2,55 and 15 minutes later had reached 4,60 or so.

One way or another, you put it very wisely: SBD is a gamble not an investment. Steem is the right investment. Or if you don't mind, I would say that SBD is an one-night stand while Steem is the "lady" you wanna marry and take home ;) he he
