RE: How to Purchase STEEM at a Discount on the Internal Markets by Locking in an 18% Margin of Safety - Profit on Undervalued Currencies and Increase Your Share of the Stake (SP) in the Ecosystem
scalp is awesome and i agree with almost everything you said, BUT, i wouldnt use the "convert to steem" feature... 7 days is way too much time in crypto and everything can happen, like a 100% pump or dump. So i just buy and sell at the market. since yesterday i'm selling at 2.95 and buying at 2.75 and multiplying my steem's.
Raphma I Am confused and I Am sure that I'm missing something but if I buy steem at poloniex or bittrex for 2.45 at this time and sell it for 2.90 on the steemit market I will be paid in sbd here on the market .And sbd are selling at a 17% discount on poloniex so I don't see how I can profit from this please show me step by step on what you are doing to make a profit trading this.
you are misunderstanding... the inside market here in steemit is Steem/SBD and i'm buying at 2.75 SBD and selling at 2.95 SBD, so 0.2 profit per steem (and we just a had a little change, it might go to 2.9buy and 3.1sell). i never said i was buying in bittrex/polo and selling here.
in bittrex, the market is steem/btc, so it's completely different and you need to take in account the value of steem/btc and sbd/btc.
raphma , thank you for the explanation
This is a good point. You can probably make a lot of profit by simply holding both STEEM and SMD and taking advantage of the natural trends on the internal market vs. converting. I use the conversion feature because I feel it's safer for my style of investing, particularly because I already have that margin of safety (profit) built-in as long as the price swings are not too radical. But as you said, pumps or dumps can happen at a moment's notice.
Thanks for your reply!
