I think $ sign is a catch for simple people. For those who in $ sign is a antiques. We easily convert this $ to outsiders $. We don't need a calculator.
Steem is an economy of posting. Instead of workin on a fabric, where your boss hate you, and wanna exploit you to the fullest, here, on steem, it's up to you how much to work.
I agree. I think SBD was pegged to value of USD for the same reason as well; to keep the $ sign relevant and let people know how much in USD they are going to make from a pending payout. Curation and SP part of author rewards still follow the $ value but SBD has gone through the roof.
I don't mind that because SBD has done great things for people having financial difficulties.
👍👍👍👍 nice
