I don't know about hundreds of dollars but one sure can make atleast 40$ a month which he or she can then use it for retirement savings. Saving 40$ a month makes it 480$ at the end of the year. 480$ is not bad. If the value of SBD increases then it will even be more. Look at the value of bitcoin and ethereum. See how they increased with time.
SBD needs to stabilise so it's useful again. If Steem improves then we will all be okay
Would you care to elaborate on this, @steevc? I don't think I completely understand how SBD is useful even if it is pegged at $1.
As I understand it a pegged currency is useful for trade as you know how much something will cost. Then people are more likely to spend it. We have this currency with fast, free transfers, but people are just holding it
Ah, that makes sense! It would actually be very nice if it was 100 % pegged to $1 in that case, cause then we have a very nice cryptocurrency to use for buying and selling non-crypto stuff! I have just been thinking of it like a regular cryptocurrency until now, but what you say sounds very nice. Thanks for explaining :)
