RE: I Wrote About Steemit On A Major Finance & Investing Website

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I am quite surprised and happy to see it rise, I didn't expect witnesses to not impose the tools to keep SBD at around $1 so its kind of funny to see Steem Backed Dollar worth way more than a dollar. If they do decide to impose the dollar cap I have a feeling Steem will follow. Its really up to witnesses to coordinate controls in the future.

P.S. Nice to see more Arizonans here

Sort:  

So you're thinking if the SBD gets pegged to $1, steem will drop too?

If the top 20 witnesses implement the price feed bias to keep the price of SBD at $1 like before I am certain the price of Steem will drop. At some point it might be in their interest depending on how things play out.

I'm not well read on the SBD issue. I thought the general crypto speculation was the reason for the rise in SBD price. No?

Nice to meet a fellow Tucsonian too.

Steem Backed Dollar can deal with speculation and price movement up or down using a number of tools including increasing interest rates for holding it and of course price feed bias. The idea originally was to keep SBD pegged at a Dollar.
