From a stability point of view, I agree that the whole market at Steemit has been bamboozled by SBD. It has broken the peg and is flying way higher than its intended price.

Do you know that Steem/SP pair used to be the standard reward system on Steemit? But the value of Steem dropped dramatically (to $0.07) so SBD was given as a better liquid option for economic and survival reasons. SBD saved Steemit then.

It's Christmas and people are buying presents with their SBDs. If Steemit Inc. intends to drop the liquid SBD option, I would request them to wait till the holiday season is over. Let Steemians roll with their SBD money.
