I want to increase the amount of SBD that I own and the value of my SBD.
That is, I want to end up with more SBD and I want the total value of those SBD to be worth more USD.
On the other hand, if I lose money on the conversion it will suggest that perhaps converting SBD to Steem is not a viable option for maintaining the SBD's parity with USD.
That is exactly how the market has behaved over the past week, so we can look at the current figures as reported by steemd.com and the witness Hive account@pharesim.
steemd.com is showing a median SBD value of:
The current feed price is roughly 80% of the median value, and the market is offering us something like 80 cents on the Steem Dollar.
Essentially the same price for that STEEM as we would get if we sold our SBD now.
If the price of STEEM were to stay at about the same level, or even rise somewhat, I would be able to increase the amount of SBD that I have.
