Steem Backed Dollars (SBD) not Steem. It is also on Bittrex. Just Google Steem backed Dollars coinmarketcap and it is there. Crazy prices right now. @papa-pepper just gave away a ton in a selfie contest too.
Ah, now I see it. Didn't know that SBD was a coin as well. Thought that had to be converted to STEEM. I thought SBD was an "internal" thing to Steemit only. Man, got some more learning to do :-/
Believe me, I am no expert. It is quite unusual though for SBD to be this high. Happened that one time when you look at the chart, but most of the time it is about $1. It is supposed to be $1. I think the witnesses vote to set rates (almost like the Federal Reserve) in order to keep SBD equivalent to $1. In reality it goes up and down though based on market conditions
Nope, where do you see charts for that?
coinmarketcap
Almost $7 right now
That's odd...I don't see that. I see $1.90 as current and no highs of $7. Unless I'm looking at this wrong.
Can you take a screenshot?

Yeah, the witness thing is still kind of a mystery to me. Don't have a good idea of what they do or why we need them.
Also, crap! Steem is now almost $1.90!!!
True, and the SBD is at $13...what the whaaaat??
