NEVER EVER USE THE "CONVERT TO STEEM" BUTTON! ALWAYS ALWAYS GO ON THE INTERNAL MARKET

Shortly after my first post, I realized how many newbies that may not know the difference between the "Convert to Steem" and the internal market.

**A friend of mine, who didn't know better missed out of 400 STEEM because of that! Ouch!**

## What's the difference?

The "CONVERT TO STEEM" button in your wallet is there to guarantee that you'll get $1 worth of steem with your steem dollars. But it doesn't sell it at current market price!

The conversion via that mechanism takes 3 days I think and it can be helpful when SBD are selling for below $1 but when it's worth $12-$14, it's catastrophic.

**TO PROPERLY EXCHANGE YOUR SBD IN THE CURRENT SITUATION** you have to go in the internal market which can be found in the hamburger menu on the top right under "Currency Market" or by typing: https://www.steemit.com/market

The screen should look like something like this:

Wishing you a happy SBD/STEEM conversion from now on.
