The Steem Market screwed me. Now I know better, you should too!

Yesterday I wrote a post saying that I felt very screwed over converting my SBD into STEEM. This is the post I am talking about
https://steemit.com/steemit/@karinxxl/help-this-cryptoblondy-out-peepz-im-confused-0a0c4f766116f

So wat happened was, I converted my SBD here, straight in my wallet.

Thanks to @bubke, he replied on my post this wasnt the place to do that. Where I should go, is to the currency market tab

Then here fill in for your conversion in the way that you normally do on a crypto market.

And baboom without any delay, I transferred 3 SBD to 20 steem and powered up.

So what I dont really understand. Why does this work different when you do it directly in your wallet, and it takes 3.5 days?? Isnt that odd? I do feel a little bit (more than) fucked over when I converted 20 SBD to 19 STEEM, while this also could have 60 STEEM at the time.

So this post is mostly to warn people, especially minnows! Go to your currency market! Dont convert your SBD directly in your wallet.

I converted some in the market today. Tried it out with some small numbers and I'm happy with what came back. I was kind of clueless so I let the computer do most of the work for me and I guess it worked out. ;) Sorry that it messed you up the first time. :(
