A little bit of a green day today. STEEM has gone up 25% percent from it's low of $1.50. My investment plan is still unchanged. What people have noticed is that the payouts have changed on the steem blockchain. You now get a little bit of STEEM with your payout as well. ------- ![Screen Shot 2018-03-19 at 10.45.06.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWFMDnPPMrq8yWrTDwMpmGhAKHp5b8fokwZU7k7Nzp2zg/Screen%20Shot%202018-03-19%20at%2010.45.06.png) -------- I believe it has to do with the massive amounts of SBD's that have been printed lately. **This is my personal simplified explanation.** ------ An SBD is always worth $1 dollar worth of STEEM through a convert function build in the blockchain. (it's removed from the website currently but it's possible). ------ So that means that with the use of this function 1 SBD at a STEEM price of $4 convert to 0.25 STEEM. or 1 SBD at a STEEM price of $1 converts to 1 STEEM. or 1 SBD at a STEEM price of $0.25 converts to 4 STEEM. ------ Now it's easy to see that when the STEEM price goes lower more STEEM is needed to back up the debt (SBD). That's the reason why you now get a little liquid STEEM and a little less SBD for your post today and I expect this to increase if STEEM goes lower in price. SBD print rate is now 97,66% instead of 100%. ------ ![Screen Shot 2018-03-19 at 10.11.24.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQUkebvSo31x2U6NtftKnCbz1rbX2i8jTkj3xKqBEj56x/Screen%20Shot%202018-03-19%20at%2010.11.24.png) ------- I talk about it more in my vlog. ------------ https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmf84t6h3Ds3PRaKvNgnSgL9WZuWzphjXhBKJDfpGDun4g/Exyle%20logo%20final%20_%20RGB-04.png ------------- #### I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain.
