The reason is that the only thing we have to back its value is Steem. And if we kept giving more and more Steem so that people could redeem 1 SBD for the value of $1, the price of Steem would go even lower and we'd end up in a death spiral. If there was no limit to converting SBD for Steem, the price of Steem would already have dropped to under 1 cent long ago. This was one of Dan Larimer's better ideas if you ask me, although it may be confusing if you don't understand why it works this way.</p>\n<p>Other stablecoins are either backed by a company, like Tether or USDC, or by a very complicated system with redundant collateral, like DAI. They will keep working almost perfectly until they suddenly collapse.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk9et3vwp","appParentAuthor":"culgin","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
