SBD is supposed to be pegged at one US dollar and it held that peg even back in the day. I use it now to purchase STEEM at a discount. STEEM will go up, SBD has a strong chance of going down to a dollar simply because that's where it's supposed to be. STEEM is a tool. One can use it to earn more by pressing buttons. I might see a dollar or two for voting on this post of yours. Down the road, that'll be worth more. Sure, at first it felt like I was using a butter knife to cut down a tree, but that still made a scratch, progress. The blade gets sharper and sharper. Now I'm using a small chainsaw. I upvoted your post, gave you about $2 in rewards, and I might get that value in US currency for my efforts. Why people choose to rob themselves of this opportunity so they can use their SBD to buy votes baffles me most days. I'll continue leveling up like I'm playing a video game, even if it's a grind. Eventually STEEM and things like Steemit will be a finished product and the STEEM token will be worth something similar what a share in Facebook is worth today. The thing is, if people continue to pass on their rewards to a middleman(vote seller), they're basically giving a handful of people the entire reward pool. That's not smart for business. It's counterproductive. A handful of people can decide to sell someday. Put that stake into the hands of many and even if one sells, the place keeps rocking.
