At least not yet!

keep choosing 50/50 payout

I have gotten the question in chat a few times lately, and seen it numerous other times

"Since SBD is getting lower than steem, is it better to power up?"

The short answer is absolutely not

Why? cuz math, thats why!!

I am going to show you an example. In the example STEEM is worth $5 and SBD worth $4.
(These numbers are strictly for ease of use)

So you have a $40 payout, assuming exactly 25% goes to curators, you should expect $30 dollars in normal circumstances. If you choose 100% power up, that is exactly what you should receive in SP. So $30 would equal 6 STEEM POWER if STEEM is $5. (see chart to the right below)

BUT

If you choose 50/50 when SBD is worth MORE THAN 1 DOLLAR... your returns will be MUCH GREATER. Since it is hard to explain in text format see the chart to the left below which will show you the result of your payout even if SBD is lower than STEEM ($4 SBD in this scenario)

As you can see. Even though SBD is lower than STEEM. You still make 2.5 times more by going 50/50 over 100% power up. If you want STEEM and not SBD you can always exchange in the internal market for the best rate. Seriously don't use blocktrades for SBD to STEEM

AS LONG AS SBD IS MORE THAN $1 USD CHOOSE 50/50
