This has been my thinking, although it's nice to see the data to support my intuition. My feeling is that since people come to Steemit to make money, there are many people focused on how much they can get for their earnings in USD. Even watching David Pakman's interview w/@aggroed, Pakman was asking about SBD-to-USD conversions, which I thought was curious, given that I thought SBD was purely meant for upvotes (shows you more that I've never made enough SBD to even think about trying to exchange it). But I agree - take advantage of the bearish sentiment.
