@acidyo this news about steem and sbd being exchanged for fiat is crazy. Never imagined this would happen so fast, and it is incredible news. There is too much happening with the big 3 (steem, eos and bitshares). The crypto world is an explotion now, and things will get more surprising for steem in a few months.

The vision of @dan for freedom and empowering people, giving the people the control again that is were it belongs too (very well presented by @teamsteem in his post welcome to steemit), is becoming more true every day, when we see lots of people in different regions of the world, making a living here on steemit.

It is incredible all what is going on here. A great development and disruption that was launched on the steem blockchain recentrly is the @utopian-io by @elear that is bringing lots of smart and creative people to the steem blockchain. @utopian-io is a clear disruption on how open source projects are funded, and its great for both: sponsors and developers. Sponsors can delegate SP (steem power) to fund opensource projects, and to do that they need to buy steem and powerup. A new economy/market has been generated here to bring inflows of steem to the blockchain. Also, delevopers get rewarded on steem and sbd for their contributions. No more words than saying amazing things are comming.

Upvoted and Resteemed.
