The reward pool is the only reason that I am on this platform.

The reword pool on Hive and #hive-engine are a bit convoluted, and few people understand the mathematics.

As such they think more of the rewards on the posts than about the rewards pool.

Unforutunately the drop in the price of tokens tends to be greater than the interest rate. People who came to HIVE thinking that they could make money through curation have been demoralized.

Imagine a person who bought $1000 in HIVE POWER to curate and their HP is now worth $300.

Even worse image a person who bought into the dream of #POB and bought $1000 POB to see it devalue to $100.

The curators feel demoralized because the coins failed to retain their value system failed to pay off.

This is simply a sign that people were overly optimistic about the payoff. It does not mean the rewards pool is bad.

The fact that the platform has demoralized curators does not mean that the reward pool itself should be scrapped.

HBD has been the primary focus of the platform for the last two years. The HBD pool derives its value from HIVE. The pool is over six percent of HIVE and is near saturation. Have you noticed that whenever the price of HIVE dips, HBD convert millions of HBD to HIVE?
