Actually, I just had a look and it's the other way around now. It costs 1.15 SBD for 1 Steem. Weird man. Also my payouts are all over the damn place. I get nothing for my own posts, but my comments in other people's posts get weirdass returns. For instance this https://steemit.com/steemit/@tesselart/re-triverse-re-tesselart-re-triverse-re-ruddyred7-power-up-100-or-default-50-50-what-does-it-mean-20180127t092959950z. I got $0.02 yeah? No, I got 0.009 SBD, and 0.003 STEEM POWER. How does THAT add up to $0.02? And that's supposedly 50/50 as well right? Isn't Steem Power basically Steem? So why aren't they then 0.009 SBD and 0.01 SP or something like that?
I mean thank you ye mighty for paying out my 2 cents this time, every other time I just get the number reset to zero with no payout. What gives?
Exactly. I'm so confused though. I just started using Steem and bought a very small amount of steem (like $1.7 sbd) using the internal market and my account value doubled to $10. I'm not even exactly sure what I did.
I want to use $100 fiat to buy steem and power up, but not exactly sure how to do it the right away, especially now that I am reading so many contradictory articles and comments
You can actually buy Steem at Coinspot for AUD (good for me since I'm in Australia). I'm planning to put something like 5 or 10 steem in my account and see how it goes from there.
Thanks. I'll check it out.
