I remember that initially it was an idea of having stable coin that would be equal 1 SBD = 1 USD, but it was never a case, that is why recently when it started to drift down I thought that it will be then reaching that level and stop but it is weird that it is very unpredictable and it is difficult to know which direction it will go. We just need to wait and see.

Upbit isn't even available outside SE Asia, as far as I know

Yes, you are right, it is a shame I believe it is good for the Steemians from South Korea, at least they can use that chance of good exchange rate of SBD.
