From what I see, looks like STEEM is going to take the old value of SBD at USD $14. Looks like the two coins behave as binary stars gravitating in the short term to $8.
Looks to me that whatever must the theoretical relationship of these 2 coins. It is the market that is creating the true dynamics, and not what Witness want to happen.
In fact, may be SBD will never be = $1. Let`s see what happens. The funny thing is that we are "making money from the air" as you explain in a previous post regarding your meeting with a Tibetan US Monk, friend of yours.
