This would be an interesting theory to expand upon. Who do you think is responsible?

some steem whale I guess. SBD is a small market and I think that someone with few millions ( which is not a lot of money ) could easily manipulate it.
if you remember before this started, steem price was at $0.8 - 0.9 and almost everybody complained and look at as now. we're the kings of the world !!! :)
on the other the price stays at the same level, I mean it was a pump but not a dump, so my theory could be wrong and this happened within the laws of the free market.
I don't think it too much, because I cannot have facts.
Just my 2 SBD cents . :)
