What happens when SBD is equal to $1.00 US?

Your SBD is always backed by $1.00 US worth of STEEM.

Right now you most likely have the 50/50 reward option. A little while back, this 50/50 options was set as the default option. As long as SBD is above $1.00 value, then it is clear that you should select the 50/50 reward option. This is because 50% of your rewards are paid in the quantity of SBD and 50% of your rewards are paid in the US dollar equivalent of STEEM. To put it simply as long as SBD price is greater than $1.00 then a 50/50 reward option will get your more money.

But what happens when SBD is equal to $1.00 US

It really depends on what you think is going to happen to STEEM price. Ideally you just switch to 100%SP reward, however, that may not be the best option.

Once SBD is at $1.00 in value, you have 2 options if you choose to collect rewards.

1. What if STEEM is expected to increase in value?
   If you believe this to be true, then the option should be 100%SP

2. What if STEEM is expected to continue to decrease in value?
   In this case you may want to choose 50/50 reward option.

Reason: SBD can't really go below that value because it is backed by $1.00 equivalent of STEEM. This can essentially work as a safe haven for your SBD. If STEEM continues to go down, then any SBD you have or earn will remain at $1.00.
