RE: Daily Discussion No. 6: What is UP with SBD? And is This Going to Last?

in #dailydiscussion7 years ago

While I might be wrong could this also be some way to fight vote bots? I'm not sure of it would influence this but since steem dollars are so much worth why even bother using the on bots in the first place?

Or maybe because bots became so attractive people started buying steem dollars to pay for them? Just throwing out some newbie thoughts here.

Very insightful, but not correct I think. In fact I believe the opposite is true. People who run bots which in particular use self voting or collusive voting to up vote other bot account, they would always choose to get as much liquid rewards as they can so they can sell it quickly.

Since the SBD price is up and you can get half your post payout in liquid SBD, this has make scam bot accounts more that 500% more profitable.

This is a bad thing 😭

Both good thoughts @holm. I don't know. But there's a question mark by the fact that daily trading in SBD has been as much as 40 million USD... which is much more than even the biggest whales are likely to influence. But I am not an expert... but maybe we will learn about it, in time.
