If you didn't know, the Steem Backed Dollar which is only paid out to content creating authors was selling for over $1 for the past couple months. That meant that if you did 100% Power Up posts or were converting your SBD to STEEM using the internal conversion feature you were leaving money on the table.
Many people figured out that it made more sense to send SBD to an exchange and sell it for upwards of $2 you could then buy more STEEM on that exchange and bring it back or just keep the BTC value.
Last week Poloniex finally gave users their STEEM and SBD which had been frozen while Poloniex was experiencing technical issues. This created a sudden surge in SBD selling as tens of thousands of SBD were suddenly dumped on to the market. The result was that SBD is now more appropriately priced around $1.
It now makes sense for authors to once again use the internal features to do 100% Power Up posts and to use the internal conversion feature.
So go ahead an try it out on your next post. Use the Power Up 100% feature and KEEP ON STEEMING ON!

I was aware of this thankfully but thanks for the PSA!
This is VERY useful as it could mean lots of $ difference. It kinda sucks though too because 6 days ago I was still doing some 50/50 but now that I am getting paid out the value is way down from when it was 6 days ago and I loose out anyways.
Im not complain gin though. I love Steemit and am grateful for the steem I do have!
SteemON!

Well you can do a conversion now to SP but I like the 100% Power Up feature because it gives your post a little added exposure with that Steem logo appended to the title.

Maybe it will never go back up. Would you pay someone $20 for a $10 bill?

Well, theoretically it's tough for it to get much below $1 for any extended period of time, correct?

If it goes too far below then witnesses will probably put the APR interest rate back up as an incentive to buy and people will start converting it to steem and sell that. So yeah it shouldn't go too far below for an extended amount of time.

Wouldn't I get more Steem if I convert SBD to Steem while SBD is e.g 1.5$ worth? I don't understand why you should now convert SBD to Steem xD
What am I missing?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
NO NO NO! When you convert you only get $1 worth of Steem and if that SBD is selling for you $1.5 you just gave away $0.5. It's better to sell it and then buy STEEM on the open market.
When SBD is over $1 don't do 100% Power Up posts and don't use the internal conversion feature. Unless you just want burn cash.

So right now is actually a good time because SBD is currently 0.95$ worth and I would get 1$ worth of Steem?
