There are some wild fluctuations today, and the SBD pumping may be sending ripples to its grandfather, the STEEM itself, in an unpredictable way.

As for the internal market, things are even stranger. I wanted to place an order earlier, selling a small amount of SBD, and the price shown was 0.89. I wanted to try a higher price, so I went with 1.1 and here's what I got:

Kinda neat, I would say. In a way.

Nevertheless, I placed the order at 1.0 and then it was filled - and listed in the filled orders - at 0.89, but the actual amount was 1.0. So please pay attention to your orders placed on the internal market, folks!

I will keep an eye on this as I think it's quite strange.

Later edit: the price is right on the internal market, only I was expecting it in reverse, STEEM / SBD, as it is in steem.supply. So the internal market is correct, but the volatility thing is still real, so trade safely.

Wanna know when you're getting paid?

	I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards

It's free to use, but if you think this is a useful addition, I'd appreciate your witness vote.

Thank you!
