Many people are predicting with the recent consistent upward trend that steem will crash once again after reaching roughly $1.5.
So what does this mean for the average steemit user, well realistically if all your money is in Steem your account value could drop a reasonable amount!
You may also be asking, "how can I benefit from this possible drop?"
Well lets put it simply, if you had invested in Steem when it was around $1.2 you would've already made a profit by selling it at $1.5. However heres the way to make some decent returns, if in the event that Steem does crash, I would recommend transferring all your liquid Steem to SBD before it reaches $1.5. Once the crash does happen transfer it back to Steem. Steem should be worth ~ $1, maybe even less.
So lets run some numbers, (Warning my CA inner geek will come out). Lets say you have 100 Steem liquid, at $1.5 you transfer it to SBD you now have ~ 150SBD. After the crash lets say Steem is sitting around $0.9 (this is my prediction). Once you transfer it back to Steem you will have ~ 167 Steem. Just like that you made a 67% "Steem profit" (In USD you would have earned nothing).
Once Steem goes up again you would have made your true profit! Don't have liquid funds in Steemit? - Simply go ahead and purchase some Steem from block trades when/if the crash happens.
