There is currently a huge divergence in the price of Steem between Poloniex and Bittrex. This is likely due to problems with withdrawals and deposits on Poloniex. In my view, the Poloniex price is not legitimate even though it's being favoured on coincap.io for example. It is more akin to a promissory note while withdrawals are disabled, and therefore not a reflection of a true price. This can result in an inaccurate price feed, although it presently favours SBD holders/converters over Steem holders.
How should Witnesses handle this situation and how are they actually handling it?
