Correction : The "$" value that you see on the website is not "Steem Dollars" it's the estimated USD value of the Steem and SBD you are expected to be earning at payout, 7 days later. Your payout it usually comprised of 50% Steem in powered up state "Steem Power" and 50% in SBD Aka. "Steem Backed Dollars", which are designed to stay pegged to 1.00 USD.
Kinda depressing that in these +250 comments nobody bothered to inform this gentlemen.
