I am curious to see how the prices are affected. My guess is that limited supply leads to higher prices based on law of scarcity. However, having Steem as part of the payment, how is it exactly calculated for post rewards? For example, if I have a 2 SBD in post rewards, would it be based on the market rate amount of SBD to Steem or will it be a fixed rate?
Think of it as instead of 50/50, where half of the amount you see is going to SBD and the other half converts to SP via feed price, it's more like 49.9/51.1 or something. With the difference being that extra 0.1 is STEEM instead of SP.
The short of it is, with SBD being worth more than a dollar, the USD value of the payout is effectively lower than before, since less of our reward is in SBD.
