18:30 UTC Steem is at $4.36 and SBD are at $3.63, this is good news as any increase in price is reflected in the value of your account on Steemit.
Now does the fact that Steem is now more valuable than SBD affect us as users? Well the way I see it, while you will be getting less Steem for your SBD your SBD are still worth way more than the much sought after parity with the USD that many witnesses want. This means that you can change your SBD for USD at a favorable rate of 3.63 SBD per USD or you can power up the SBD selling it for Steem and still get a lot more value per USD. So I think that as long as SBD continues increasing in price against the USD we as users are OK, the problem for us would be if it goes back to parity with the USD.
I don't really know why some people want it to go back to parity, it is against the user's interest and what profit is there for others? I have asked this question before and according to the answers I get the answer is that a lot of people just don't like users getting too much money for their work.
