RE: Steem experiment: Burn post #103
I also see it this way! When he said burn I thought he meant send it to @null. Part of rising Steem is rising SBD and vice versa. Also, I'm not sure if it's mentioned somewhere but where is the SP from this account delegated to?
Its not exactly clear to me, I think everyone with critical thinking skills needs to examine this more.
I agree, I don't think this is helping us at all...
However, after checking out the account's delegations, I have realised that the delegations are to bots that downvote spam etc, thus helping the rewards pool remain large for genuine users.
I think a more effective method would be to keep delegating Steem Power to bots that help lessen the "reward pool rape" and burn all SBD rewards to maintain SBD price.
Good investigative work, it would be nice to keep on an eye those bots. SBD was designed to be pegged at a dollar but was manipulated to gain a price well above that. I am cool with SBD going back to $1 as it was intended but everyone needs to be aware so they can plan accordingly. If they truly want to keep Steem Backed Dollar at $1 it needs to be consistent and not just a now and then thing.
Thanks! After getting home I read also read that the SP would be delegated to downvote bots only on @burnpost's initial introduction!
What you say is true, however everyone's profits would be a lot lower if SBD was pegged back down to $1 as originally planned. However, I also feel like it's inevitable that SBD price drops down as it's essentially a useless currency with price artificially driven up by "speculation" (pump and dumps), so I convert all my SBD to Steem whenever I can, even if I don't plan on powering up!
In regards to consistency, I also agree! If the price fluctuates a lot, chances are the price of Steem will fluctuate a lot. I don't care if Steem moons or not, I just want to make sure it doesn't drop too much.
