the truth is that Pob has actually been discouraging for some period now. no one ever imagine that pob that once have and exchange rate of 2.28 hive to a Pob can now be this down. but the bitter truth is that Pob will still come up back again. at some point today Pob was around 0.7hive before falling back to 0.56hive. I dont think the value of the Pob should discourage people in using the # tag. it should be the time to encourage every one to participate.
