Hey @arinzechukwu. Well it actually depends on how we look at it. If Steem finally rockets up leaving SBD way behind, then new authors would suffer because they're not well familiar with market and probably wont do any trading and stuff. SBD in general is more simple..? I think I can call it that way.
Personally I would go with Steem. Since Steem has supposed to be the main currency of this platform and also because if Steem would sharply increase, we would get attention of other crypto enthusiasts which would attract new users into steemit.
