There is a discussion going on at the moment whether the SBD (Steem blockchain dollar) should always be worth $1 worth of STEEM or not. here
Currently, with a STEEM price of $4, it's way more. Around 1.5 STEEM (or $6 USD).
If the peg would be enforced an SBD would be worth 0.25 STEEM. (or $1 USD).
The reason the price has gone up so much is that there is no upper limit to what an SBD can be worth. There is only an under limit.
To enforce the peg a reverse conversion is suggested.
Currently, you can convert SBD to STEEM (takes 3.5 days) but not the other way around!
4000 SBD will turn into 1000 STEEM (at current prices) for example. And clearly, this is a very bad deal!
With a reverse conversion, the peg can be enforced.
With a STEEM price of $4, you can then turn 1000 STEEM into 4000 SBD.
Basically, you can turn $4000 worth of STEEM into $24000 worth of SBD.
This will surely bring down the price of SBD until it's 1 dollar worth of STEEM.
But to do it now will be very disruptive in my opinion.
It's great for people that know, like you and me, but for the people on exchanges, it will be devastating. Basically, they would feel fucked by the STEEM blockchain when the price tanks.
Not great.
Don't get me wrong, in the long run, I am in favor of a stable SBD.
But currently, the high SBD is helping grow this platform with more content creation but more important, development.
I notice this myself now that my witness @blockbrothers can afford to pay an external Android dev with SBD (converted to euro) and also pay for 5 servers. Our Steemify server being one them.
To enforce this peg now would be a mistake. I would wait until STEEM price goes up and more SBD's are created automatically bringing down the price of SBD closer to the peg.
That would be the moment to implement this change.
Nondisruptive.
I talk about it more in my vlog

A high SBD price is totally healthy in my opinion.
Enforcing it back to 1 SBD would make a lot of people pretty angry. Me included.
Why should it be enforced? Just for the reason that it was supposed to be pegged to 1$?
Well. As you said @exyle - a high SBD price gives you a lot of oportunities (especially looking at blockbrothers) and I feel the same. So why should there be a limit to giving active steem-user more possibilites?
So I'm totally against forcing the peg. At least right now. We can see again in half a year or year, but until then ... let's have some fun.
Edit:
On the other hand - a 1$ peg gives many usecases where a stable currency is needed. Difficult ...

Its a mischaracterization of the problem though if SBD was pegged at $1 the value (or at least a lot of it) would shift over to the steem token so it's not like throwing away money, more like shifting to a new bank account

Everyday this steem seems to be more and more run by some anarcho socialists! This is supposed to be decentraliced platform to avoid control, but yet they just try to act like some socialist-goverment deciding how much this must be worth. Stop with the fucking number crunching! why the hell someone must always decide what is the excact value of this or that. But I guess after all this place was made from just hate to goverment, other vice devs would have realized how this steem power thing eventually just turns this into another "elite" (whalesters = banksters) run economy.

Perhaps we can get the best of both worlds by waiting until SBD naturally returns to a valuation around $1 (if that ever happens) and then making an adjustment like this, so it has (in theory) no immediate impact.
On the other hand maybe Steem doesn't need an official internal pegged currency - an SMT, or even non steem token, might be a better way to cover that use case.

Hell no... Are you kidding me or are you out of your mind? What you are saying is you want to make everyone on Steemit poorer. No! SBD is, as I've said before, being traded as a regular token as we speak, i.e. free market forces are deciding its price based on voluntary interaction. You wanna peg BTC? Maybe we should peg Litecoin? Or maybe find a peg for NEO?
Because of the FREE MARKET'S VOLUNTARY choice to trade SBD in an OPEN, FREE MARKET environment, EVERYONE (you, me and every small Steemit user) is not much wealthier, i.e. the incentives are HUGE to come here right now and make projects, write articles, curate and comment. You're saying you want to take that away. Not only that, but you want to make it SIX TIMES LESS profitable to join Steemit.
Just stop it... I get that you're really comfortable in your own little bubble somewhere in Europe, but just stop this crap and let the free market trade whatever they want however they see fit.

There were another post yesterday on a similar reply.
If steem valuation is within $10B, it will make sense to make sure SBD is truly pegged to the dollar.
Now let the steem grows accordingly.
Now it is a good time to use our voting system to keep steem flourish and stay a contender in the months to come.

There are two cases. Keep the thing the way it was designed or change it as it not hard and fast rule that whatever you have designed in the past is correct or not changeable.
If SBD was designed to be always worth of $1 and steem to fluctuate then they should be kept that way. Reason is you have one currency which can be used by others/investors to manipulate while SBD will be kept the standard unit for payment dealing. This has long term effects.In the long run we will benefit from it when all the stores offline and online has started using SBD for the payment.
=======================================================
When it comes about the author and post rewards scanerio, think it as when SBD was $1 worth. Then we all survived and we were happy with that. Even that was the difficult time because you had very small community and not a very big market cap. So you might be earning less money now if this happens but it will give rise to the usage of steem blockchain resulting in the marketing of steemit and attracting new users. So then you would be able to earn more by having more followers and taking your content to bigger audience. So if you want more reward then work on your quality and reach.

It flipped last week sometime [steem overtook sbd by cents], so we can see it's not particularly stable anyhow. Wait and watch would be my idea of a good action for now.

I'd rather peg the value of SBD to gold or silver than to any fiat currency. Why peg to something that is always losing value and has the potential to go to 0 ? Gold, while it's price fluctuates, will never drop to 0 ! ...ever! I'm fundamentally against pegging SBD to value that can be printed out of existence; we already have that, they're called Dollars, Euros, Yuan, Rubble, Intis, Soles de Oro, Pesos, LBS, Bolivares etc. I have a bank note of 1 million Intis, and you can't buy toilet paper with it.

I agree, the USD has currently been trending down for awhile. Why should we be peg the SBD to an asset that is falling in value? What if crypto-currency is the future and (eventually) all fiat money becomes nearly worthless. I do understand the desire to have a stable value for the SBD though. This is not a simple problem to solve.

All fiat currencies will eventually drop to zero; this is mathematically inevitable. It may take 500 years or 500 days, but go down it will. Gold does not have this problem; there will always be someone willing to take Gold as payment. Besides, when governments have reserves, they hold gold, and that tells me everything I need to know about their fiat money. If governments don't have confidence in their own money as savings; why should I? ..or You? If we peg crypto to anything; peg it to something like Gold. Gold sucks as an investment but is a great reserve. Greetings!

A lot of the witnesses are trying to inflate the supply of SBD by altering the the SBD/SP post rewards split. Even if you select 50/50 as your reward option, you are most likely receiving a 70/30 split due to the combined effort of several witnesses. This has probably helped lower the price to $6 from $15 a few weeks ago but we're not yet there. As long as SBD trades on external exchanges, we may experience SBD pumps.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the STEEM price went to $8 creating way more SBD's because the payouts went up a lot. Millions of new SBD's were created. This is why I believe that when STEEM goes up more in the future the SBD price will come down automatically and no need to force the peg right now.

I think the high SBD price has done wonders for the community as a whole. It means that newbies who only earn a small amount on their posts are actually seeing a real return.

Free Markets should rule. As long as you aren't seeing manipulation to keeping the price high it should be allowed to stay this way.
If a reverse conversion is implemented there should be plenty of warning and there should be a limit on how much can be converted per day. This would avoid a complete crash of the market.
On the flip side if the inverse conversion is allowed I can trade 4000 steem for 24000SBD internally and then buy steem on the open market to then convert again. It actually would allow for a short term massive increase in holdings for those that have liquid steem. It would take some time before the markets evened out and in the mean time massive profits could be made.

As you said, @exyle, the high SBD is funding growth for developers and content creators. SBD is tradeable on the open market, and people are paying those prices. Enforcing the peg through some sort of witness or developer action is a completely wrongheaded move, and it's going to drive a lot of the people, especially content creators that are leaving the other social platforms, away from Steem.
SBD was designed to bring stability to the platform, and I think market prices do that. Yes, it's a little frustrating when I see exchange rates fluctuate, but that's normal, and that's why I don't like to focus on SBD-USD conversions. But, a higher SBD-USD ratio attracts users from more "rich" nations due to the higher cost of living in these places. Keeping SBD-USD artificially low is going to frustrate a ton of people, especially as STEEM-USD gains in value. The SBD would become practically worthless on the blockchain, and the system would only favor people with enough resources to purchase a ton of STEEM, or who were fortunate enough to be early adopters. And then we'd be back to square one again.
Also, the white paper says that the fundamental unit of value is STEEM and that everything on the blockchain derives its value from STEEM. Why we continue to focus on SBD-USD ratios doesn't make sense. We should be focusing on SBD-STEEM ratios.

insightful @exyle
How about not pegging it to a dollar yet, but putting an upper limit relative of STEEM.
E.g We can say SBD cannot go higher than 1.5STEEM and every year the factor(1.5) reduces by a certain percentage until SBD is then stabilized before the reduction would stop.
I believe things like this would help soften the blow and make SBD still valuable compared to if there was suddenly an announcement that SBD would instantly be pegged to $1. Quite a lot of panic would devastate the whole market.
for now, I must confess part of me is enjoying the SBD rise, If it were up to me it would never be pegged. On the other hand a second half of me understands SBD was created for certain functions it may never fully realize unless its pegged.

Also the fact that it's so high ATM is something that really attracted me to the platform, if it was just $1 or less, seeing as most of my posts are making less than 10 cents it would of been harder to stick by.

I know it has been said before, but the truth is that Steemit is simply too complex in its current form to draw in an influx of “normals” that will become continual users.

I am honestly still very new to this and don't know much about this cryptocurrency world.
So I'll just read this without giving any opinion.
And thanks for sharing this by the way @exyle

its good for content creators as you also said so i guess as this is a decentralized platform let it stay like this we have seen sbd below dollar and in cents too so its just a matter of time

The reverse order will be a nice idea but the current content reward mode has to also change from SBD to Steem. It will favour the powering up and discourage cashing out, since SBD rate to $1 USD would have reduced considerably. Thank @exyle for such a great insight.

With the USD hitting a 3 year low I don't know that it would be a good idea to implement the peg right now, especially if its on the start of its down trend. I think a wait and see approach might be better since everything is so new.

I find such a decision to be a radical one. Some times radical decision even if done with good intentions end up becoming a disaster. It can totally collapse a system and may lead to erosion of faith. Those who have invested in it end up loosing and may never return back. With less reward small blogger's may even end up leaving the platform.

High Steem dollar price helps newcomers to get good rewards even with just a few average upvotes. It's at least five times more than they could get before.

@exyle,
To enforce this peg now would be a mistake. I would wait until STEEM price goes up and more SBD's are created automatically bringing down the price of SBD closer to the peg.At the moment STEEM price is about to catch up! Therefore, it might not happen this time! PEG we can consider later or it will automatically happen as you said! My main concern is to see STEEM at 2 figures! Great article friend!
Cheers~

high sbd prices will let steemit grow more rapidly than we think of 2 million active accounts would be really quickly possible

This would not be a good time to enforce the peg. Given more time the Steem and SBD will level together. At the point the impact will not be felt much in the market.

Anyone evil enough to enforce such a thing is literally aiming to make everyone almost seven times poorer. Disgusting. SBD's price is a free market result and it's ONLY a good thing. Calling it anything other than that is pure insanity.

If this gets enforced, and SBD goes back to 1 USD in 3.5 days, many people will think Steem is a scam. I'm really thinking about powering down and calling it quits. There's money to be made elsewhere

In my own opinion (since sbd is already in the open market), I think it'll be right to let the market decide the price of sbd.
I don't support pegging of sbd and I know a lot of persons won't support it.
The only thing I've come to notice is that whenever sbd grows more than steem, different posts are created by steemians (mostly whales with a large stack of steem and steem power) on why sbd should be pegged and how it is affecting steem.
Talk about being self centred
Edit: And oh! like I said, it's just my opinion 🙏

Yeah, he's literally arguing for the goal of making all Steemit users SEVEN TIMES poorer. Anyone in favor of that is crazy.

Dtube was not buffering so I had to download this 406mb vid :). Nyway serious information shared. Your take on it was cool but I doubt whether witnesses will wait that long to see sbd fall close to 1 dollar and then implement. It will be no doubt a loss for content creators if its pegged now,

Hoi daar weer!
Ik vind niet dat ze de prijs zouden moeten vastzetten van de Steem dollar het is mooi dat hij mee gaat met de andere alts. Als de Steem dollar nu wordt vast gezet op 1 dollar zou dat de groei ook niet ten goede komen.
Bedankt voor je blog!
