Yep, exactly. I am not saying for sure this has nothing to do with Steemit, but it's entirely possible. Either way though, hopefully it spills over into HBDs at some point as I think it's the easiest way to get the price of STEEM/HIVE moving up and as we well know a coin price moving up is the easiest way to attract more users... sort of a chicken or the egg type thing. Hard to get the coin price up without more users and hard to get the coin price up without more users. SBD/HBD price pumps do the trick. :)
