Why are steem and steem dollars separate tokens?
Can anyone direct to me to the documentation that explains why steem and steem dollars are separate tokens. I have a hard time understanding why its not just Steem and Steem Power wtihout Steem dollars.
I think the idea is that while the value of steem will fluctuate, steem dollars are tied to the dollar. At least, that's what I got from this article
So SD/Steem market seems ripe for arbitrage opportunities.
Yes. And it's exactly such arbitrage that over time should cause the value of Steem Dollars to approximate 1 US dollar.
That is a good link. Thanks! This article also helped as it provided a little background and context to the nuts and bolts.
I upvoted you.
