RE: Steemit thinks STEEM is 0.198 USD when it really is 0.123

in #steemit7 years ago

The price feed is tethered to SBD and the concept of needing to haircut our debt to a max value of 10% of Steem's market cap.

When SBD get's back up to a dollar this will no longer be an issue. This will happen when the market cap of SBD is 10% or lower than the market cap of Steem.

Sort:  

So is 4563 STEEM really worth $904 USD, then?
If so, how would I go about getting 904 USD for 4563 liquid STEEM? First trade it to SBD? Then what?

sorry for never getting back to you. The price feed on Steemit is Steem/SBD not Steem to USD. They use a dollar sign $ when they really mean SBD (which has no symbol). It assumes SBD is worth $1.

Okay then, I assume $1 CND is worth $1 USD. Doesn't make it true though. I can't convert my CND to USD at par, just like I can't convert SBD to USD at par.
So they're lying because it makes them look good. That's a bad sign to me.

And wait for SBD to become $1 again I guess? 😅

Ahhh. So it's... a theoretical estimated value. Okay then.

Uh oh, that sounds sketch!
