Vlog 214: Weiss rating report #3 - 4 B's left and STEEM is one of them + SBD is trading higher than STEEM again.

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)


The new Weiss rating report came out last night while I was sleeping.

I read the report this morning and most rated cryptocurrencies have gone down in rating.

From the report:

But don’t let the them throw you. The downgrades are due mostly to this week’s sudden plunge in nearly all cryptocurrencies, which naturally hit our Reward and Risk Index scores negatively.

STEEM is sill a B- which is great!

It's one of 4 B's mentioned in the rapport. (Cardano, Ethereum, NEO, STEEM)

SBD is trading higher than STEEM again.


I must admit this has been a little unexpected for me but this is crypto so it can happen.

SBD is trading higher than STEEM again.

Remember that an SBD is basically an IOU for 1 US dollar worth of STEEM.

So the fact that anyone would pay more than 1 US dollar for this IOU is strange but I don't complain.

I think a high SBD price is great for every Steemian that creates content on here.

I bought STEEM with my SBD, I also sold some and I'm keeping some to see how this develops.

I talk about it more in my vlog (starts @2:00).

I think higher value of steem is more important in determining the amount of rewards an author gets as it determines the payout value of a post but I don't mind high sbd prices as well.

Correct. A higher STEEM price makes the $ value next to the post go up. With the changes to the UI it's now also easy to see that with a higher STEEM price more SBD's are created.

The estimated reward payout as it is shown just below the post is based on the value of STEEM, SBD, or USD? I feel too lazy to figure it out by my own.

I just got a tool from a frien here to show how this works based on steem feed
https://www.steemnow.com/@josteem

I noticed when SBD is low in usd ==> my voting power worth higher value (1,60 SBD) !!
But when SBD is high in usd ==> my vote worth less in SBD ( 0,98 SBD) !!
Is there a correlation or so??
Any one noticed that? Or have any info about that?
Thanks

Has nothing to do with SBD. It’s calculated based on the Steem price.

Everyday i am learning something new. The more i learn the more happy i am. And this learning is more enjoyable when i am serounded by Good steemian friends like you.

Thanx. I got a very useful tool here above you can check it ..

Maybe it's a glitch in the matrix.

@introvertspeaks
Why you think so? Don’t understand what a glitch to do With calculating the SBD
@josteem

Why you think so?

Because I am the ONE.

I agree with you

정보감사합니다

Thanks for the info..

Nice to see your video again 😍

Yayyyy, finally SBD is back 😂
I have been holding my SBD's when it was at 9 so you can imagine my situation.

😂 😂 very nice

Good to know steem is steady.
The fluctuation is minor compare to the other coins.
Steem is different and that's the big picture hidden around $3 or $4.

@josteem

No, it has to do with the STEEM price.

Thanks. Just got a tool from a friend @khaleelkazi to show how this works based on steem Feed . Just wanted to thank you and share it with you. Appreciate if you have any extra suggestion.

@exyle,
You brought a great news. Can you please share us the WEISS RATING pdf? I think it's very useful thing and I am actually unable to pay their membership fee at the moment!

Cheers~

@exyle I like to see when you trade your SBD to get more STEEM, that makes me feel more and more Positive about this platform and what it can do for anybody who wants to put in some effort and create Content.....

Excellent video friend and it's nice to see steem holding good place in weiss rating and that's great sign for steem blockchain and whole community too, well sbd crossed steem again and i think buying steem now with sbd is a wise decision because sbd is just an internal currency peg with us dollar and at some point it has to come down whereas steem is a main currency with huge open space ahead with no hurdles, so buying new steem or converting sbd to steem will produce great results in near future, thanks for staying us updated regarding steem friend and wish you a very joyful weekend ahead, Stay blessed

Great news I think Steem is the #1 blockchain followed by BITSHARES!! BTW those short ribs look awesome 😎! If you got a minute free check out my blog today my youngest turns 2😃🎉https://steemit.com/father/@ryan313/my-youngest-turns-2-today

It's interesting to see the SBD price rising about the STEEM price. I think it looks like a bullish sign for STEEM! With regards to the payouts, I'm still confused how it's calculated. There was a new payout feature that I wrote about today. This update made payouts more transparent, but the math still doesn't add up. If you have some time check out the article. Maybe you can help clear some things up. Thanks for the post!

Being a senior steemian I would like to get a valuable suggestion from you, should I use my SBD for power up on present price or wait for some time

Power up is best when you spend tons of time investing back into the platform. But it also takes longer to get the money out to create a more stable platform. With Bitcoin we wait and hold. With Steemit we invest and engage and become active in the community to get the best return on investment. Remember that Steem Dollar may fall down to 1 dollar again.

Thanks for the advice

If you want to power-up I would do it gradually over time. Short term SBD price can fluctuated heavily. So buy STEEM everyday with SBD to buy average in.

Thanx
Today I converted 150 SBD and got 166 steem

That's a great conversion @saahir! I think you'll be very proud of that decision over the next few months as Steem sees increasing adoption

Thanks for your good wishes

Yes i was waiting for SBD to go again higher then Steem. Good that i HODL them in Bittrex 🤓

Have a good day..

Nothing like Kids to throw you for a loop. I referenced yesterdays video to some other folks that are wondering what's happening with their payouts, and vlog 213 fit nicely in the whole picture. Have a good one! Groetjes.

Maybe you have touched the subject before, but do you see Steemit be sustainable for the long term or can it be a liability for the Steem curreny in the long run?

As usual, great vlogg

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

When the steem blockchain grows in the future (SMT's) I foresee a much smaller roll for the steemit website than it is now.

I already exchanged some of my SBD for STEEM, to power up.
Another great daily Blog, i hope everything is well again!

I know they have to stick to their rating methods etc but lowering a rating just because something becomes a bit cheaper seems silly. If anything the should put it up because it represents better value for money!

Oh and congrats to the little guy on taking his first steps!

Oh and congrats to the little guy on taking his first steps!

Thanks that was a moment! Proud Uncle here.

It sure is a good news for all of us !Both the Weiss rating and the rise of the price of SBD .It really is indeed great to see SBD rise once again !

I have also sold most of my Sbd for Steem 2 days ago but after seeing today price i little regret my decision but it's Crypto so anything can happen and i want to be in safe side that's why it is good to have Steem instead of Sbd.

The price is still jumping up and down, Let's see where it will be stable again.

You are very right

Steem rating has been great they seem to have understand the potential this cryptocurrency has happy to see your vlog today so cool updates and sbd pump up is a joy to watch

I totally agree that higher SBD prices are keeping many authors and curators active on this great platform.... Pump SBD even more so that Steemit becomes the most active platform....

I noticed when SBD is low in usd ==> my voting power worth higher value (1,60 SBD) !!
But when SBD is high in usd ==> my vote worth less in SBD ( 0,98 SBD) !!

@josteem

Yes that what I notice today SBD higher than Steem again , so this another opportunity to convert SBD to STEEM

Awesome chance to level up that influence! 1.1 conversion way better than 0.8 it was around for quite some time. I hope it goes up to 1.3 again which is the best I have seen so far! Looks like 2018 will be a very exciting year for early adopters on Steemit.

around xmas it got to 5 to 1 which is why the witnesses stepped in to manipulate it back down !

5 STEEM for 1 SBD? Haha omg. That is craziness!

and at the time..happiness lol ;-)

I personally think the sbd rising above the price of steem is due to a psychological effect on the traders because of its name. Steem backed dollars has that familiar word 'dollar' in it's name which I guess must be reassuring to some investors. Just my thoughts, either way, best to keep hold of a bit of both :-)
Have a brilliant weekend.

good story thanks for sharing..

yes you are right very important information

Video is Awesome!!! #STEEM #SBD

I think SBD would find its place on the top 100 at CoinMarketCap before the year ends I guess hopefully.

Great news, my friend and I are very happy that the STEEM is in the trend, even at a general decline in cryptography in general! This is the influence to which we all aspire! You are absolutely right, the higher price of the SBD is excellent and I am sure that such a price arrangement is a greater development of our ecosystem now and in the future! Thank you Mark.

you are right sir

I think a high SBD price is great for every Steemian that creates content on here.

Yea @exyle, for us who create contents here , I think the rise of sbd is our basic compensation for great work being put out on display. If sbd goes very low and steem very high, it's going to discourage lots of people from creating contents and this platform will now become like every other blockchain where you just invest and get returns and trust me poeple like me who don't have money to invest will start leaving steemit. So I think sbd and steem should rise but at closely equall proportion so that everyone smiles at the end of the day.

I bought STEEM with my SBD, I also sold some and I'm keeping some to see how this develops.

I also was able to buy steem with some of my sbd hoping to see what becomes of stemlem in the future and that's my little investment

Actually if SBD goes down it's better for people that work hard since there will be less competition. When SBD goes up usually we can see greed increase. It's a long term platform! Even if some people leave it doesn't matter. You have tons of people from countries with low income that will flock to Steemit. That will see it as a blessing. There will always come new people! People that do little investments will see little returns.

yes you are right Much sad news but nothing to do

Excellent boss.......

I was so amazed when I saw the switch of power lol from STEEM to SBD. Well higher STEEM value still matters though..

I guess this is the bezt time to convert steem to steem dollar. Thank you for the information.

The high SBD price might be because of the SMT launch. I wrote why this might be happening:
https://steemit.com/smart/@mexbit/this-might-be-the-reason-why-a-sbd-is-13-usd-worth

I'm soo happy that SBD survived :)

wow really beautiful story and good information

I like your post @exyle

I also noticed that the SBD is heigher than Steem for the moment ,in another hand I love vlogs , I enjoy watshing

I must admit this has been a little unexpected for me but this is crypto so it can happen.

I totally agree with you @exyle
Nobody including me expected this sudden rise. Im so excited and i belief it will continue to rise. Good post! U've got my upvote!

I am positive with sbd and bitcoin it will soon rise. I am fully determined.

Really awesome writing story you share & thanks a lot to share this content with us.

Love the story of the first steps how cool!!! Feels so awesome to see those first steps congrats :)

great news bro sbd is now again higher 😊

weiss ratings has helped a lot over the time and steem is on new highs today great to see the market after a long time today :)

The SBD price should continue to rise, it's good for us :D

This is really a great opportunity to convert some of my sbd's. Thanks for sharing.

c est une belle histoire mo leader bravo

Awesome post! Keep up with posting this astonishing material.

yes it is i have also heard that sbd is going high
thanks for update..

nice to meet you

It is good that STEEM maintained its rating at B-. I'm sure it will increase to A when the Weiss company finally see the many benefits it will have in time to come. Upvoted!

you are getting a nice vlog.

thanks for heads up just made 10 sbd into steem i was waiting for a better rate

I am a whale boy in steemit and I also want to witness by joining your developer group @blockbrothers. I will not complain and I will keep working and growing though
I read this morning's report and crypto is the most widely rated. Rank downgrade is largely due to a sudden drop this week. To me going down or not STEEM is a threshold
very great and amazing to me. And to me a whale in steemit, you are a great man who succeeds mr @exyle.

Nice post.good job.

Awww. Congrats "daddy" :) what a great feeling.

SBD is trading higher than STEEM again. I think that will be great .

ohhh Much sad news

i really don't think now sbd will be back to normal one dollar market its all upto markets now

quite surprising i must say !!

nice work. keep it up and we so much appreciate ur good work.

wow steem is coming on top slowly this is really great stuff wonderful to see sbd at the top too :)

fanstastic posting , how to be a steemian like you

fantastic post

I bought STEEM with my SBD, I also sold some and I'm keeping some to see how this develops.

I'm powering up 100% of my Steem, maybe in a couple of months i'll start funneling a % of the money out of steemit to other cryptos

Nice video and Yes you are right

Sure. one would have anticipated that STEEM would fare better than SBD, but like you said, "its crypto". so probably those that are hodling Steem for a while now might want to reconsider.

Feels good with the recent rating tho. and I'm very optimistic that Steem would do well in the coming days.

Hope to join you at 02:00

thanks for sharing @exyle
Regards

SBD pumps make the weekend even more enjoyable :)

high SBD price is my hope as a new user in steemit. this is very profitable for me and other new users. in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia the main cause of the steamy spreading is when SBD prices soar. when SBD prices soared a lot of steemit users who began to get bored playing because of low SBD prices, immediately re-bersemengat when prices soar SBD high.
thanks @exyle for the information...

This is a great news but l prefer a higher STEEM

for small people like me this is a great news :)

That's good news..Let us wait and see what would happen

DQma1BLMUTS1M18zCfbMWwyF5YHCkQ5eskh7BN1QwCTEQ1j.png

from now on .... This is the time of steem

SBD spiked just when I thought it won't go up anymore above $5--reason why I decided to sell 11 of them at $3.81 a piece--but then shit happened!

Whoops, it's higher again. I swapped it with steem a couple days ago.
Should've probably waited. Well... whatever :d

I keep following your suggestion, very good post from you, so we keep waiting for the development of SBD which you will submit again ..

Excellent to know the updates great to see the rankings of steem is going up slowly and sbd rocking the markets today great day :)

Follow me please @ricagebifebiola

Very nice your post @exyle

I love your Vlogs. Thank you so much for sharing.

Oh Good God.. you're amazing when you write

@exyle good post I am very interested in posting your follo By vor3ss

Nice video :) I like watching you.

nice vlog keep up the good work

such a fantastic day for steem going back up to nearly $5 plus on addition holding the great rankings could go even up there too and sbd along side it wonderful

Yeah, Happy news for us all steemians :)

Cada vez aclaro mis dudas y conocimientos al respecto, se que hay una baja en estos momentos. Eres un conciso y preciso al explicar. Gracias. te sigo.

It's good that SDB boosting but power must surpass SDB because power plays the main role in steemit community.
