These posts have no effect on the price of sbd. It's just economics 101.
There will always be steem entering the system, and these posts are just that: more steem on the system.
The only way sbd can go up (and steem) is by buying what is already on the market.
And guess what? With only 65k steem you can buy the supply on Bittrex and bring the price to 1 USD.
It's easier than what they are trying to do.
