I have no idea about STEEM and SBD prices. If this increases investment, then I guess it would put upwards pressure on the price, but who knows what the net result would be after factoring in any changes in the way people behave...

I remember golos, but I didn't realize that it still exists. I haven't been able to reach the golos.io web site for quite some time, so I thought the token was gone. If it still exists, I probably still have a few tokens out there. As far as I know, there have never been many gateways for exchanging STEEM for fiat (especially for users in the US).
