Apparently it changed from $0.60 to $0.00000049 today.

On Bitfinex it is still being traded at $0.48 , strange !!

Looks like the creators sold their tokens for a profit, drive the price down on the markets, and then buy back in at a lower price.

I guess this sort of pump and dump is a good rational for Steem Power, in that if the creators are mostly holding Power, then they can't just dump it all in one day, which helps attract more investors willing to play by the same rules.

This fact must add to the stability of Steem compared to other tokens.

But is it not suspicious why the exchange is selling at completly different price ?

This is what @recrypto had to say about it:

For just clarifications for the unit used on IOT.

By default the exchanges uses:
MIOTA != IOTA

So the current price is $0.53 per MIOTA and not $0.53 per IOTA.

1 IOTA = $0.00000053
1 meta-IOTA = $0.53
1 giga-IOTA = $530

1 mega-IOTA = 1,000,000 IOTA
1 giga-IOTA = 1,000,000,000 IOTA

*Spot market price as of 2017-06-15

At first, I got confused as well. XD

The reason behind it though as I've read is to eliminate decimals in transactions.

Hope it helps!

pump and dump.. see BCN and many others..its brutal day for cryptos

Yeah maybe its time to buy more !
