Nobody will ever use a Crypto currency to buy anything if that Crypto currency could skyrocket to 1 Million Dollars....

Who in their Right Mind would pay $1 Million Dollars for a coffee ????

Steem could fluctuate from $0 to $1 Million Dollars but the SBD needs to be pegged so that we can actually use it to buy stuff ... food, books, gadgets, silver, gold.... etc etc.

Totally agree. It makes the system work better and functions as a stable coin.

Exactly

@dan and @ned are geniuses to think of pegging the SBD.... it makes so much sense now. At 1st I did not understand. They have created a beautiful system if the SBD can stay at $1

I hadn't considered this... It does make a lot more sense. And, would likely be more profitable for Steemit as a whole in the long run. Great post.

When is the last time a post paid out in SBD?

When SMT goes live, it will be time to get rid of SBD.

If I knew that SBD would always be worth $1 ... I would Park my gains there instead of Tether

Unfortunately, it isn't backed by the U.S. dollar, it is debt on STEEM.

When will that be ?

I think the last I heard was Q1 2019. It keeps moving.

The Hard Fork is this month.

I move my gains to Tether every now and then and would much rather just keep them here on SBD on Steemit.
