Thank you for finally helping me to understand at least part of why people buy SBD on exchanges. Honestly, I never got it. You can always use STEEM for anything you'd buy with SBD, and the value until recently has always seemed over priced for the stated goal of $1. But since there are mechanisms to automatically bring it back to $1 under most circumstances, and there is that upside potential, right now it does present a decent investment. However, since you can't power it up to use it to further benefit you on the platform, I'm still buying STEEM right now. And I am actively buying STEEM right now. We'll see later if it was a good idea.
