Hopefully it is a temporary situation. The current price is a result of the huge July price spike where the price of STEEM was inflated beyond what it was arguably worth. While it was a good thing to attract attention to the project and help fund a lot of valuable projects that will hopefully benefit the project in the long term - it has left us with a short term problem of paying for all the rewards that were handed out during the spike.

The witnesses and devs are looking into a lot of potential solutions, and there are a lot of things we now know to do differently if another similar bubble starts to form in the future.

The best advice I can give is to hang tight. Hopefully we can all address the situation and get SBD back to a stable USD peg before the site transitions out of beta.
