Now that ive read most of these comments i still fail to grasp the point of SBDs, except that it adds more liquidity into the ecosystem. Why exactly is it trying to be pegged to the dollar? Whats the underlining purpose of that?  Stability? I dont think you can have that.

Couldnt you just have free flowing SBDs? Without pegging it, make it just a debt instrument? 
I know posts payouts would change somewhat, not sure what effect that would have, but i just dont see a point in peging it. 
SBDs dont have any use STEEM doesnt already fulfill for the average user. 
What i want to say is that i dont get it. I really do not get the peg.

SBD shouldn't even exist, it adds nothing. You could just used liquid steem for any case where sbd is used.

$1.03

Yes it does! It creates a currency. Steem is not a currency, if you want steem to matter in any significant way Sbd needs to work.

Vote bots accept liquid steem, STEEM is a currency. What is the functional difference between liquid steem and sbd?

I agree. But SBDs add liquidity to the ecosystem. Any debt based asset does. 
If it wasnt for SMTs id be for SBDs remaining but with SMTs coming tbere really is no use for them. The peg only seemed as a gimmick to me.
