Steem Dollar is holding steady, but it's susceptible to the price of BTC.

I agree with you STEEM is going up BIG TIME!
i see these prices much sooner.
$100 STEEM by end of 2018
$1000 STEEM by end of 2020

Why not just invest in STEEM? Why do we need two speculative tokens in both SBD and STEEM?

Do you see long-term value in having a built-in stable token within the STEEM ecosystem? The blockchain will just keep printing SBD until this correction happens to bring SBD closer to $1 USD.

I know the witnesses were talking about slowly bringing sbd price down and pegging it to $1, has there been any action on this idea?

I do see long term value in a stable coin for the steem ecosystem, but as long as there are incentives to speculate, people will speculate. If we want a stable token it would be best for the witnesses to come to consensus, announce the change, and make the change on the next hardfork hopefully before the next price rocket.

There is almost unanimous consensus between the top 20 witnesses but, at the same time, we recognize many do not want to see their inflated author rewards to go away. For the most part, it seems witnesses are not willing to implement a reverse conversion unless the price drops closer to $1. We don't want to be the "bad guys" who turned off the SBD faucet, even if we're thinking about the long-term benefits of the entire ecosystem (including increases author rewards due to increased value of STEEM and the resulting rewards pool). At this point, unless more people demand action from the witnesses, I don't know that much will be done.

In that case unless bitcoin and everything else takes another dive to a lower low, the days of sbd being anywhere near $1 are probably over.

@lukestokes

I understand the need for a stable asset, but the outside market is not yet ready to accept a 1$ SBD. Most Traders, without any understanding of STEEM and why SBD is worth 1$ - will come to the conclusion that it's undervalued.

I wouldn't be surprised if even if the witnesses try and suppress SBD to $1; it won't behave accordingly. Why? Sentiment drives the price....not the Witnesses.

Has sentiment driven the price below $1 USD?

Sentiment is great, but it can not effectively work against smart contract protocols. If a reverse conversion was implemented, SBD would be printed in an arbitrage fashion to keep the peg. I can't imagine any amount of sentiment changing that.

The whitepaper talks about why there was no reverse conversion. The $1 peg is nothing but make believe at this point...

I find the whitepaper's argument inadequate. It may have been true during the launch, but with the liquidity we have in STEEM now, I don't think it's a valid concern, personally.

But yes, I agree with you, the $1 is so broken as to be just make believe (unless it goes below $1).

FACT: The eye makes movements 50 times every second.

Do you think Steem will be the Leader of the Cryptocurrencies in 2020?
Will be worth 2000$ ?

You are correct!
$100 STEEM by end of 2018
$1000 STEEM by end of 2020

I hope so @healthiswealth

Hope is Good
but, I Believe and believing, Becomes
We could even see the price of STEEM at $10,000 if half of FaceBook starts posting on Steemit.

Lol, great but wishfull thinking. We go 3 steps forward (5 to be exact) and 2 steps back (3 in chartlife) Next waves will bring us to 20$

I respect each of your target $ but I am sticking to my call of $100 STEEM by year end.

I would love to see this happen.

Just sit back and have faith brother.
Trillions of dollars will flow into Crypto's this year.
Top 10 Crypto's on Coinmarketcap will go 10x to 100x

Have you heard of BitcoinLatina?

Yes, my target target is $14 or so.

and I really need a price of $ 50
once we have already started to dream, what difference to what level :)

@aka8888 $50 will be a life changer for many people.

MORE BULLSHIT FROM THE DONKEY'S MOUTH - Your REWARD POOL RAPE Will NOT Be TOLERATED!!! #FlagTheDonkey #FlagAWhale

It sure will. So it's better to get as much steem now than regret it later.

check EOS....

can happen something like that

:)

I'm surprised there is not yet a competing site like Steemit. Competition will drive it higher. Yes, it'll certainly be one of the leaders. Price of $2k by 2020? Perhaps triple digits.

and I unfortunately start to reduce power: (((
because for a long time I do not see progress in the development of the product ....
as well as the problem with Dan: (((

Steemit is one of the few alcoins that has a product currently in use. I think it is under its value, like the other alcoins, but when the bitcoins rise and stabilize the other alcoins will give a good upward momentum including SBD.

FACT: An ant’s sense of smell is stronger than a dog’s.

If we project a cycle of 5 waves taking, projecting wave 2 until a retreat that touches the triangle again to gain bullish momentum in the volume.
Based on these data we can project wave 3 up to 161% fibonacci, with a wave 5 to 261% fibonacci, values that generally reach the alcoins.

This would lead us as a final goal to approximately 12 dollars in a medium term.

I want to use this Steem channel to contribute ideas and debate them among all, but it seems to be only a one-way channel if the ideas and contributions of others are not supported by the votes.
Giving your vote costs nothing and helps others grow.

Buen vídeo, muy informativo tu post.

Thank you for this information,I will always be waiting information from you, as you better understand about this.
