RE: Towards A Ricardian Constitution

in #eos7 years ago

This is OT: I have seen, you have a lot of Steem Dollar (SBD) in your wallet. You should get rid of them and buy Steem or something else. SBDs are extremely unsafe to store value in. The only thing that gives SBDs value is pure speculation and coincidence. I wrote a post about the issue and I find the way SBDs are handled so concerning that I looked up users with a lot of them and warn them about it.

Hey - first off. I appreciate the advice. But the truth is, I have no sodding clue. I've never been able to figure out what really what's going on.

I read your post - thanks. That helps. So I spent some time trying to follow the suggestion above. After about 10 minutes I found the "Market" button. Then tried to buy Steem. (The other options took me to some external site that simply doesn't work - sits in a spinning loop all the time).

The order to buy steem seemed to be a price order not a market order so ended up opening a gap. Nibbled away for a while - I think. Refused to cancel. OK, I know something happened - bc the estimated value of the account doubled ???

Well, all this is by way of sharing my angst that next time I build a trading platform, and yes I've built a few, I hope to do better...

Lol.. so for all the pain, it worked! And somehow "doubled" the value of the account. A mystery :-)

And now my upvotes are well over a buck. Outstanding. I have power!
