I really have never understood why so many people want SBD parity with the dollar it is a losing proposition for anyone who actually posts or comments here, I get less Steem for my SBD. Unless Steem goes below one dollar, then it is a losing proposition for everyone, except those who bought Steem when it was at less than 0.50 last year.
No, it's not good for it to be above $1. See: https://steemit.com/dtube/@clixmoney/qk8w0i82#@gtg/re-clixmoney-qk8w0i82-20180625t160626492z
Are you talking about the video or gtg's comment because the video is actually in favor of SBD going up in price. As for the comment @gtg is way off in his calculation if I am not wrong. If you are paid $3.00 for a post and SBD is at 1SBD per USD what you will get paid is exactly $3.00, regardless of if the price of Steem is at $100.00. You will only get more USD if the price of SBD is higher than the price of the USD. Example=
SBD= 1 per USD
Steem =1 per USD
$3.00 payout = 1.5 Steem ($1.50) 1.5SBD ($1.50)
SBD= 1 SBD=2USD
Steem= 1 Steem=1 USD
Payout = $3.00 = 1.5 Steem ($1.5) 1.5SBD ($3.00) You get $4.50
SBD= 1SBD- 1 USD
Steem= 1 Steem =2 USD
Payout $3.00= 0.75 Steem($1.50) 1.5 SBD($1.50)
SBD= 1SBD=1USD
Steem= 100 USD
$3.00 payout = .015 Steem($1.50) 1.5 SBD($1.50) Same $3.00
So an author will only get more of a payout if SBD is priced above the USD. Now it may be harmful for Steem if this is so as people get more money this way(but the argument is that SBD pegged at 1 per USD is best for authors not that it harms Steem) I don't know that, but from the point of view of people who post here the higher SBD the better. Of course witnesses will always get paid with Steem so in their view the one that should be up is Steem because it is in their interest.
Maybe I am wrong but I think numbers don't lie.
