I have purchased ETH about 10 days ago when STEEM was at 330 STEEM / ETH and SBD was at 370 SBD / ETH, but was not able to transfer and trade until three days ago when the rate was 10 to 20% less.

I waited and waited, and this is probably the lowest that STEEM and SBD is going to be for now, so, I traded in my ETH at:

311.625 STEEM / ETH and 352.626 SBD / ETH

I did not want to take the chance of STEEM and SBD going up too fast from recent lows.

I'll Power Up Monday.

My order of "pieces of Eight" silver rounds have also been received, but, I'll post about it next week.

The history behind the "Pieces of Eight" and where the term comes from and stand for is quit interesting and hence, I bought some "Pieces of Eight" Silver Coins.

But, If I put all the interesting facts, what would cheetah think? But, WAIT, It does not! But, nobody tell cheetah ...

Spanish dollar
.
The Spanish dollar, also known as the piece of eight (Spanish: peso de ocho or real de a ocho), is a silver coin, of approximately 38 mm diameter, worth eight Spanish "reales", that was minted in the Spanish Empire after 1598. Its purpose was to correspond to the German "thaler".
...
The Spanish dollar was widely used by many countries as the first international/World currency ...

Two important and interesting facts of history:

1 - "The Spanish dollar was the coin upon which the original United States dollar was based, and it remained legal tender in the United States until the Coinage Act of 1857" ... 2 -"it [the Spanish dollar] became the first world currency by the late 18th century." 2a -... several other currencies, such as the Canadian dollar, the Japanese yen, the Chinese yuan, the Philippine peso ... were initially based on the Spanish dollar ..."
