Why not peg SBD at $10?
### The steem platform was designed with Steem, SBD and Steem Power driving the Steem economy.  In my opinion the combination of these currencies and mechanism of influence is working nicely together.

This post is nothing more than a question to the community would love to see answers in the comments section.

### Quick recap

+ What is Steem?
Steem is the fundamental unit of account on the Steem blockchain. All other tokens derive their value from the value of STEEM. STEEM is a liquid currency, and therefore can be bought or sold on exchanges, as well as transferred to other users as a form of payment .

+ What SBD?
SBD is a stable  currency which were designed to create stability in the Steem Economy where  one SBD can be converted into one US Dollar.

+ What is Steem Power?
Steem Power allows users on the Steem platform influence in the form of voting etc. Steem POwer or SP cannot be traded on the Crypto Exchanges.

### SBD is currently trading at more than $10
Over the past few days SBD has been trading at much higher than usual rates and in my opinion this is not a bad thing.  At the end of the day we all want more and more users to join the platform.  I have not done much research on how this higher value of SBD is influencing the economy, and if this is actually a bad thing.  I have also not researched what is causing this massive increase in the value of SBD.

I do know that it will probably take some time to move the peg back down to $1, but my question is why not peg SBD at a higher ratio to the US Dollar?

### Will having SBD pegged at a higher ratio to the US Dollar not have a positive effect on the Steem price in the long term?

# Happy Steeming!

$1.25
because steem backed 10 dollars sounds weird af lmao



and because that would have zero impact in the long term for the use of SBD. Remember, make it as simple as it can be.

@jga ·
In this moment the blockchain itself "thinks" that he is giving SBD peg to 1 USD... **he thinks that 1 steem is equal to 1.73 sbd!!** then if you receives 4 steems in 50/50 the blockchain will give you 2 steem power and 2x1.73sbd = 3.46 sbd... but you and me know that it is worth in 34.6 usd!! Wow!
If we peg sbd to $10 we are saying to the blockchain that it is the price... then you will receive less sbd (because if we adjust the price we need to adjust the inflation to have a stable economy).
I think [we need to change the way it is pegged to usd](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@jga/steem-proposal-possibility-to-transform-from-steem-to-sbd-in-order-to-reduce-speculation), I want a strong an stable sbd!

It would be better if the blockchain was able to react to SBD price increases by arbitrarily creating SBD and trading it for STEEM from users in the internal market. The STEEM could then be destroyed in order to reduce the supply of STEEM and increase its price. The price increase of SBD would therefore be transfered to STEEM and the 1 to 1 SBD peg to the USD can better maintained.

No. Specifically, if the platform can freely re-peg the SBD *whenever*, then the peg loses it value. It strikes me that the best possible outcome in the current configuration is for the platform to guarantee a $1 market price for SBD, but then allow it to trade outside at any price the market decides.

Hi @prof-pieters, thanks for a great answer and it makes a lot of sense.   I am currently on my annual leave until January 2018, but would love to have further conversations around your studies on the use and implication of cryptocurrencies as a globally traded alternative to national currencies or assets.  This sounds very interesting.  

We are in the process of designing a Crypto Economy and are talking to various economists and other specialists in this field. Can I interest you to join our slack channel?

How can you guarantee no lower than $1, though?  I think the current situation proves that it can't be capped on the upside with current parameters, so why should we expect it to be contained on the downside?

It sure would be nice to have a system like that, though.  Talk about a no-brainer buy if that were true and SBD ever reached $1 again.

The platform would have to eat the loss, much like central banks do when they try to maintain a peg. 

 They should not be selling SBD, only buying (I don't consider the distribution of SBD selling). And they should buy at $1, and $1 only, no matter what the external price is. That way the SBD maintains the minimum value it was intended to do, without the need for the more exhaustive monetary policy required to maintain a hard peg.

I do agree that SBD was not designed to HODL.  SBD was designed to create stability in the economy.  In addition it was designed as a mechanism to spend money earned on marketplaces etc.  My question is however, why not peg SBD @ $10 as it will still provide stability.  I am just not sure what the impact will be in the long run.

It is in the definition that SBD is supposed to be a stable currency, but creators, curators and commenters are making 10x as much for each action with the price as inflated as it is right now. Like you, I would be very interested in finding out if there is actually any downside to keeping the price pegged at current levels so that we can all continue to make more money and reinvest in the platform. I've done a lot of searching, but I have yet to hear of any downside from the inflated price of SBD.

I see that if we peg sbd higher it will effect the stability of the steem. Then slight change of it to have a new experience wouldn't be mind by me. But not to the extend of effecting other revenue.
BTW it is always a great post from you I do hope can learn more from you.
