RE: SBDs Are AHEAD of Steem! Haha.. So Much For the Claims That SBD Will Never Get Boosted Again!

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

I think maybe you are missing that you can send Steem to people just as you can do with SBDs, plus some upvote bots also accept Steem as payment, not just SBDs - so as far as I am aware, the only benefit of SBD is that some of the bots accept them and not Steem.

Sort:  

No you're right and I know you can. I probably need to do that, I've just been more drawn to SBD's because you get your post payout in SBD which gives you real currency in SBD that you can spend there and then. I delegate about 50% of my SteemPower and I'm going to build my Steem up a little by exiting out of XVG when the price on the exchanges goes up enough to make it worth it. This was a very long and downwards Xmas period.

I kind of view Steem more like an investment coin that you hold because you don't want to spend it, but you could cash it out in an emergency in a day if you need, whereas because I earn SBD from posts I view those as a utility currency I can use around Steemit to make extra payments or tips or boost posts etc.

Probably not completely accurate but that my way of viewing it.

I understand, ok - yes, that's kind of how it is intended to function to some extent, but there aren't any real rules around it and the fluctuation in SBD value greatly reduces any significant differences between the features of the two. Thanks for your SBD tip by the way :)

I just checked out your website and saw some of your music video back catalog - great stuff! I remember at least a couple of your videos from the past - I think maybe the one for 'torn' is the one I know the most just because of it's large level of exposure at the time.. I haven't really watched TV for years though so maybe some others are biggies for you too. :)

(followed you btw).

Thanks Ura, that's really kind. Yeah I was the exec producer on Torn, at the time it was one of the most visible videos in the world but it never got to number one in the UK because it was beaten out by the The Barbie song for about 14 weeks. Lol.

I kind of don't watch TV either, I do a lot of animation these days and I'm just starting an animation training series which I'm going to be doing on Steemit.

Don't know if you know but there's also a new Vegan discord server / steemit Vegan group that's been set up.

This is the discord link.
