The Steem Shadow Council, the SBD and the HBD (HIVE Bear Dollar)

It's been really nice lately to see the Steem Dollar (SBD) hovering around $1.00, and to be finally getting some Author Rewards in SBD. Last summer, under the "leadership" of the HIVE High Council, the SBD fell under $1.00 - reaching a low of nearly $0.50 - while the rest of the cryptocurrencies were rallying from the BTC's drop to nearly $3,000. Now, however, we have seen that the SBD has regained its stability at $1.00 under the tyrannical control of Darth Sun and the Steem Shadow Council!

But wait, wasn't Darth Sun and his Sith Lord Council of takeover artists supposed to dump STEEM for TRON, and destroy the Steem blockchain?! The expert traders of the HIVE High Council, who couldn't manage to raise the value of neither STEEM, nor the SBD, were pronouncing the fall of the Steem Empire, and proclaiming the prophetic moment for Steemians to make their Exodus to the Promised Land of HIVE!

The HIVE minions are having a real panic moment, as they watch their beloved HIVE token on CoinGecko drop to Rank #91 at $0.117447, while STEEM stays up around Rank #72 at $0.154361!!!

The HIVE cheerleaders have dropped their pom-poms and are praising the Lord that Powering Down STEEM takes 13 weeks!

By the way, how's the HBD (HIVE Bear Dollar) doing? Oh really, Rank #1919 at $0.639412 with an All-Time Low of $0.424305! But don't worry, as @steemchiller so comically pointed out in Meantime Joke / How Deep Can Love Go?, the HIVE High Council have everything under control, as they confidently proclaim, "It just needs to find its level. Trust me, I'm a pro trader..." Wink, wink!
