Vlog 179: Steemprice + Blocktrades disabled SBD and STEEM [Update -...

I admit that I sometimes speak with some aversion about old systems like banks but also traditional media at times.

But when my brother ( @look4balance) send me this clip today I did feel joy.

It's Steemit being mentioned in the Dutch Financial Times. For me it's just another sign that the word is slowly getting out.

Fantastic!

The Steemprice had a small pullback from the $8 mark which seems only healthy to me. It's still solidly above $6.

What I noticed about my own payouts (that have gone up a lot, because they are calculated over a 3.5 day average price) is that the amount of Steempower I get is incredible low compared to the SBD. Again another reason I consider it so precious.

I wanted to send some SBD to blocktrades today when I noticed that the option to select SBD and STEEM was not there.

I tried using it with a memo I used before just to see what would happen but it did not work.

Blocktrades is my favourite way in and out of the STEEM blockchain. I hope it's back up soon.

EDIT

block trades posted a message about the wallets. here.

We're working as fast as possible to get the wallet back up. In the worst case, I expect it to be up in the next two to three hours.

If you've reused an existing memo to buy or sell Steem/SBD, your transaction will automatically be processed at the time our Steem wallet comes back online.)
