The Steem News @ 19 May 2021 - SBDs Double in a Day
Among all the turmoil in the crypto markets, the price of SBDs has more than doubled in the past day.
To celebrate 10K subscribers World of Xpilar is giving away delegatations every day for a week.
Today's Steem News also includes news and updates about the Steem Assisted Village, another new Witness, the World Smile Project, Steem Bangladesh Community Charity, Bethlehem Church, Sell For Steem discounts, some useful guides and how-to's, and many more contests...
1. SBD Rockets Up
The markets in general may be in turmoil with Bitcoin dropping as low as $30K today, but our very own Steem Backed Dollar has been a real green standout in an otherwise total sea of red.
The SBD price has been rocketing upwards pushing well over $15 at one point before settling down around $14.
STEEM meanwhile has dropped but not as badly as most of the rest of the crypto world. As a result it has climbed to #134 on CoinmarketCap.com with a price of $0.75 (0.00002018 BTC).
@acom and @whatsup are among several commentators...

SBD doubling in price WTF x 2?
So much for a $1 USD peg lol
Is SBD supposed to be pegged to $1?
Yes, it is supposed to be pegged to 1 USD. If the price of the SBD goes down then the witnesses have some way to bring it back to 1 USD, but if the USD value of the SBD goes up like now, the witnesses do not have anything to make it come back to 1 USD pegged value. We all can just convert SBD to steem to make our stakes bigger during these times. @laterloser
Why did it go so far from the peg?
Because of the overwhelming investment from the Koreans on upbit, the price increased rapidly in a single day.
wtf is it possible?
I will vote for you
It will go to the moon
I don't know how? But this SBD was amazing!
Hi, guys. Can I withdraw SBD from my account and how? Is the steemit alive?
You can withdraw it to, for example, Bittrex (if you have an account there). Or you can exchange it to Steem tokens on the inner market here on Steemit (go to your wallet, select your SBD tokens, and click market). You can later do whatever you want to with the Steem tokens (but the best thing is to power up!)
Just two small tips for future articles:
Sicne you are also writing a news especially about witnesses and more, thought I wanted to let you know!
