Everyone is excited about the sudden rise in the value of STEEM!
As I write this, it sits at about $7.50 per STEEM; this equates to a market cap of just under $1.9bn - the highest it has ever been!
OK, all the above is obvious to anybody who follows cryptocurrency prices.
But why is this not reflected in the value of your Steemit Wallet?
A quick check will show that within Steemit, the value of STEEM is currently about $3.20! (All these values are as I write and are liable to change rapidly.)
Why the huge difference?
Well, to avoid the whole ecosystem (and post rewards) from jumping around wildly, the price is calculated as the median value of the price feeds over the previous 3.5 days. This buffers the system from any sudden shocks and, if the price stays high, this will be slowly reflected within Steemit. This is stated in the Steem White Paper.
So you should see pending rewards slowly rise even without new upvotes, and you should see the total value of your Steemit Wallet also rise... but again, slowly.
So enjoy a smoother rollercoaster ride!

Thanks. Does it use a different price feed algo?
If so, that's good to know. I see two numbers - the official Steemit value and the SteemPlus one?

Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense now. I honestly did not read the Steemit White Paper. But I was wondering why the changes were so slow to reflect the going price. It will be interesting to see how high it will rise. I think the day averaging is actually a great idea to prevent manipulation.

The one thing you can be certain of is uncertainty. Yes, prices have come off their highs; people are taking profits.
Remember that the real currency of Steemit is Vests - conversions into fiat US$ are of interest if you wish to cash out or are trading Steem/SBD internally. When you do wish to withdraw some funds, then is the time to consider the best price.

I ckeck my voting power twice a day on steemd.com but do't know what is that numeral means, got it now. One more thing, So is it mean SBD are not calculated as a vests?

If you look here: https://steemdb.com/
you will see in large numbers STEEM PER MVESTS; that's the conversion rate.
Vests are the measure of "vested interest" in the steem ecosystem, in this case Steemit, essentially the right to vote. SBD is cash only and not counted in Vests, unless converted to SP.
