Well, those who were hoping for SBD to be worth about $1.00 are getting closer and closer to their wish coming true. Just probably not for the reasons they were hoping.

Any idea if SBD could go lower than $1? It should be pegged to the USD, like tether but for some reason this is not the case. Due to demand I can understand that it went much higher than $1, but could it also go lower?

Bitcoin plunges below $7,500: What’s driving the selloff?

As the Ethereum blockchain continues to be the platform of choice for new ICOs, founder Vitalik Buterin has mulled the idea of charging users to store data on the platform. In a recent blog post, Buterin described the idea like rental fees where developers would pay depending on the size of their data.

A-ha! Looks like Mr. Buterin realized the significance of the fact that Etherum's blockchain has been running at 100% of capacity!

Not to brag, but STEEM processes more txs per second and Blocktivity has it at 0.15% of capacity. :)
