RE: My First 'Steem Dollar' Coffee: How to Guide Included!! AMA..

in #steemit-howto9 years ago (edited)

Hats off to you for sharing this mini guide. I see Sterling has taken a hit since the Brexit vote in june, so if the pound continues to fall against the US dollar it may make Steem even for valuable for UK Steem users.

Sort:  

Ha, good point @juilee. I live in the UK, but earn my money in USD. So I was one of the few people who Brexit benefited financially from the outset. However, in all honesty, I think that the £ will recover over the coming month. Best take advantage while I can...

Hopefully though next time you decide to purchase a coffee with Steem that $5 SBD will also cover the cost of a blueberry muffin. At this rate of growth $5 SBD could shortly purchase a De'Longhi Magnifica coffee machine . You could be right about Sterlings recovery.

The coffee only cost me £2 (from a street vendor in London), so I could have afforded a Blueberry muffin with the £2.66 change :) I like to think SBD has a natural cap. Some sort of function of $1 and the 10% per annum interest rate. But with interest rates around the world around 0, it could certainly go higher than the current $1.30ish price tag...

Regarding the natural cap, yes we want to avoid "Tulip Mania" with SBD. Cheers
