STEEM DOLLAR NEARLY 14 $ 

Ok soo Steem Dollar is at 13.77 $ ... I MEAN WHAT THE ACTUAL F.... * 

This is all crazy, first i am shocked about bitcoin, then steem dollar, but also STEEM is growing! These are some insane and amazing news to everyone on Steemit! I hope and guess most of you are celebrating right now and being happy! The gains are incredible, and this has never happened before. How long will this hype last? How long will the SBD price stay so high? 

The highest in 24 hours it went to 16.62 dollars.  I really dont underastdn what is going on with crypto world right now? But what i do know is I am happy I am on this train... :) 

Let me know your thoughts, comments! Love these debates! 

Sort:  

Pump and dump scenerio? Or market manipulation to buy cheap steem before SMTs kicks in?

may i ask what SMT is? I'm new to steemit. Thx in advance :)

What is smt?

Thanks for the help real informative

I saw a 80% spike in 24 hours and pulled the trigger at $5 per SBD. My partner held out 24 and sold at $12. Can't believe it... but then again, yes I can.

Are we all dreaming...is this real?unbelievable...

Who is buying SBD now?

Keep Calm and Power UP

get that cheap steem while you can is what i say. then hodl it out! :)

heheh yeahhhh !!!

So you think steem is likely to go up long-term versus the SBD? I always thought SBD was supposed to be pegged to the USD, so these price movements are surprising the shit out of me, to say the least.

look, one rule with crypto. forget common sense. lol.

😂 very true

Isn't it meant to be pegged to the USD? So this is all kinda temporary riiight. Unless I'm mistaken.
I've been selling all my SBD for the last two days assuming it's going to correct down to $1 - how about you?

yess it will correct itself sadly, which will happen i guess very soon! i wish i had some SBD as my payouts wont happen for several days! lol

Hi Alla, from what I understood there really isn't a peg mechanism in place for when the SBD gets valued higher than USD, only an upward peg for when SBD is below 1 USD. It will probably correct by Steemians selling their SBD at bittrex for (hopefully) Steem.

What you might expect to happen is that Steem will be converted into Steem Power, adding to the value of Steem :)

from what I understood there really isn't a peg mechanism in place for when the SBD gets valued higher than USD

Actually there is such a mechanism - witnesses can increase SBD supply with Bias variable. They are not doing it though, at least now.

Interesting! Seems the more I learn about Steem, the more I see that I understand very little..

yes i understand majority of people are powering up and spending money on steem ! :)

SBD was not hold by a lot of people, don't worry, keep the steem warm and build SBD!
I follow you now, really good post and precious information.
You amaze me ^^

Me neither! I guess next time I'll try to hold on to some SBD for just this type of occasion

ANY GOOD CHANCE IT WILL BE THAT HIGH AGAIN? WHAT DO YOU THINK. DO YOU THINK IT WILL GO UP TO A HUNDRED DOLLARS?

I can't wait to see it get in the hundreds. ;) I'm no longer powering up and saving my SBD. :)

HAHHAA yeah its insane right! SELLL now everything you have, as the price won't stay up this high! but the steem will grow so actually loads of people power up! :)

I don't have much to sell. but let me see what I can do. :)

@allasyummyfood This is insanely exciting news for all of us exceptionally hard working people on steemit!! I think We should all do a happy dance!!!!

yes happy dance is in order, its just mind blowing!! heheheheh !

here we go then

I am trying to find a reason for this as well. But since I still don't know the exact reason I'll just accept it for what it is and enjoy the ride. Amazing times!

hahah i think the reason could be more ppl signing up to the platform, and buying the currencies as a late train?

The Banks and Illuminati feels insecure with the growing confidence towards cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin since it bringing down the value of US Dollars. Drastic action need to be taken in order to address the issue. Therefore, in the interest of protecting the bank, Donald Trump made an official announcement that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel in order to reduce the momentum of people attention towards cryptocurrencies. I guess the plan backfired as the people in the crypto space does not react to his statement , then it further bringing down the value of US Dollar. For instance, there is not much hype on his statement in Steemit although it is a hot news in other social media and news channel.

This is just my theory and I might be wrong.

Cheers

hmmm interesting, didn't think about that! :))

Very interesting perspective @asyrafahamed 😯

banks have been pumping bitcoin specifically JP Morgan

If noone sells, the demand will drive the price even higher!!!


If everyone sells, the supply will drive the price lower.

yes of course, not many ppl are selling because not many ppl have the currency , as most people power up !!

Great a post but if you upvote me 100%, i will share always your post everytime

I'm powering up as much as I can as often as I can. Great times to be on a steem journey................

yes it def is :) next year will be better and bigger!

What is the easiest way to convert the SBD to $$$. I have not gotten that far yet. I do have a Bittrex account. How do you do all that? Thanks Alla.

yes so you transfer SBD to the deposit wallet on bittrex of SBD. Make sure you check memo and eveyrthing is correct, then send it and then trade to whatever currency you want! im sure there is some videos online! i should prob do one!!

That would be great Alla. Yes I had transferred $50 SBD a while back but then I am confused as to how to convert to US$ or transfer???? I have looked at a couple videos but they really don't tell you anything. I am old and need step by step...LOL! I tried the 2factor authentication and messed that up. It's hard to find info on this stuff.

lol yeah that part is easy! but ok you need to use another platform from bitter you can transfer money so that they become dollars, or what you can do is sell your 50 SBD which is now 700 dollars and buy bitcoin!! :) that will grow over the next months!

Alla, you would be proud of me...I think...I hope. I made some advancement and learned today. I successfully set up 2FA, transferred more SBD to Bittrex, bought Bitcoin when SBD at $12.77.. Did I do OK? I hope so. Going to spend more time learning. I still need to figure out how to turn into cash.

SBD -> Bitcoin -> (1. bitpay debit card, 2. buy items online from sites that accept bitcoin then sell on ebay 3. other bitcoin debitcard services or 4. Gift Cards that accept bitcoin) newegg.com also accepts bitcoins. be careful and pay attention because we who use crypto in 2017 are in the same numbers as people who used email in 1994 statistically. hope this comment helps people. :D

Crazy times. I wish I had some SBD sitting there but I don't. Not to worry though, I think STEEM could hit 3 dollars by Christmas. Things are very crazy recently in crypto.

i know i am the same, lesson learned thou!!!!! :D i know its just unbelievable what is happening right nw!

yeap.. grows up very quickly.. and I think it will be reach 20$ very soon..

We all r happy...seeing the price soaring and so does the value.
The sudden rise n hype is creating a lull before storm.....or its a storm ?? Question still unanswered and all speculation and calculation are on.

I think this hype of sbd is not good for the community. It shows problems because it was designed to be pegged to usd.

Maybe the problem is low liquidity of sbd, low circulation. But in long term it should come back to 1 usd.

On the other hand I like the pump of steem ☺

yeah it will come back to 1 $ for sure, for now im enjoying the hype!!!

It's a great time for Steemians. Am happy I believed Steem and got in.
Powering up will be great too as it will confirm a sustainable of Steem.
Steemit is taking us to the moon🚀

Crazy moves, thanks for sharing man!

I am happy too ....and I was wow in morning when I so it . I just not know..what to say .

I also dont knwo whats going on.

Great. The higher the better. We are happy.
