Have you tried trading in and out of Steem in internal market? The volume is somewhat low at this point. It has me thinking that the only reason to hold Steem Dollars is if you think the Steem price will go down further, so that you can buy Steem back later at a lower price. But that too is a risk as SP increases up each day.
Great post by the way.
I didn't use the internal market as as I am not switching between Steem and Steem Dollars, but buying both Steem and Steem Dollars for Bitcoin. Or at least that is what I have done until now.
