Man, what a night.
I woke up at around 4 am and as usual checked my phone and portfolio.
I then saw Steem dollars were pumping!
I missed the previous pump a couple of months but not this time!
I jumped out of bed and went to my computer.
From above I heard Bianca say, 'what are you doing!'
I said, 'SBDs are pumping!'
She said, 'WHAT?!' (lol)
I quickly send my SBD's to an exchange and sold them gradually for BTC.
I was a bit groggy but I got a decent price (but not the best). Around $2500 for $1300 SBD.
Problem with pumps is you never know how long they last and how high they will go.
It's a guess.
I decided I was happy with this trade. (and it was 4 am!)
I didn't want to buy STEEM straight away with my profits because it was also pumping a bit and I thought it might come down in the morning.
It did.
So, I bought 240 STEEM to start with an hour ago.
There is still a lot of selling pressure on STEEM from some big accounts with a lot of liquid STEEM. I think the price will go down a bit more soon. (and if not I'm happy too).
I talk about it more in my vlog.
steem is still on sale. we have good surprises coming up

Oh my gosh, lucky you for waking up that early! I couldn't fall asleep until like 2 last night, so I was fast asleep when they were pumping. I had some sell orders ready though, so I did profit nicely on the SBD pump!

Love your optimism, I remember I once woke up to check my portfolio and saw steem had risen from 1 dollar to 1.6, was a good night to wake up. :)) sold my liquid steem and brought even more when it fell again. Now it's all powered up.

Have a good day...

I managed to do the same. Got an alert on my phone. Send some SBD to the exchange. Hoping to buy back and double my SBD. If not getting BTC for under $4500 isn't too bad either!

Your Spidersense must've been tingling. How lucky that you would wake up smack in the middle of a Pump. I'm glad I had some SBD for 'occasions' guess this is as good an occasion as any so I sold them for Steem on the internals market as well.
First time selling SBD for Steem because of the actual price (instead of just wanting steem for powering up)
ps. Love The Most Interesting Man in the World meme reference of the post title.

I had a happy trade too. Started my crypto journey merely a month back and after reading and tracking BTC, ETH and all other altcoins, I stumbled upon STEEM and was pleasantly surprised. Felt like this has the potential to be the next big thing in social networking. Accumulated some STEEM 4 days back and its already 10% up (though the high was much higher). Not bad at all. Now excited to contribute here and see where I end up :)

Looks like your first post to have any sort of reward was 6 days ago, so that will land in another 24 hours.
It takes a full week to finalise and land.
Keep at it, though. You're picking up followers, and improving as you go.

Great news and a day in profit today, I congratulate you, my friend, we today are all in a good mood and a positive outlook on the future of the STEEM! By the way, SBD on the Poloniex soared by 200% from yesterday's price, although I did not have time to go there, but for 150% I sold it exactly ;) Thank you and a nice day!

Lol, I was the same this morning. I was up early feeding the baby and as usual was doing a juggle between the bottle and my phone. Looked at blockfolio and was like hells bells!! So I had to sell all my SBD through bittrex whilst feeding a baby. It was tense!!

wow excellent man, many congrats on catch this pump on just about a right time and yes you did absolutely right because SBD pumps are occurred every now and then but they won't last long and did you look at the internal market the steem was way down to 0.50$ per sbd and it is still down at 0.7 i think and now it's a great chance for steemians to buy a cheap steem as well with SBD's, Stay blessed my friend and have a very cheerful and joyful week ahead.

It's great that you were able to cash out on the Steem dollar pump. I just trade some of mine in for more Steem though.
I was trying to find the reason for the pump. The best I can figure out is that it might be related to the 30 million dollar Tether theft from yesterday. It's possible that someone thinks that the SBD are better place to store their liquid currency rather than Tether.

Hey @exyle,
4am is a bit heavy. Nice gain on the trade. I think Steem should be a long trade. Good post. Keep up the good work.

Yeah @exyle, today steem dollars are pumping with 100% percentage. It was over $2. But currently drop down under $2. You got terrific decision that moment. SBD exchange better to bitcoin bcoz the price will go drop down a more soon. Tks for update.
Resteemed.
