Obviously we cannot control the value individuals place on specific tokens.
What we can do is be transparent about what we are doing and what we are planning to do, so folks can make informed decisions.
With respect to the relative value of VYB compared to POB, there will initially be less liquidity for VYB, due to the strong incentive for authors to keep it staked. Less liquidity doesn't necessarily mean higher or lower valuations, but it generally leads to more price volatility, i.e. greater price swings.
As such, I would not get overly concerned about the short-term price of VYB. VYB has been designed to be a long-term store of value.
With respect to the danger of folks 'dumping' POB in favor of VYB, the POB-for-VYB exchange should create a 'floor' for the value of POB. Right now, there are nearly 300,000 VYB that can be claimed using POB on a 1-for-1 basis.
That means, if someone believes VYB should be valued above $0.15, then they should be willing to create a BUY wall for POB at $0.15, then buy as much POB at that price as they can and immediately exchange it for VYB. Similarly, if they have liquid POB and the market rate for POB is at or below what they believe the value of VYB to be, then they should exchange that POB for VYB instead of selling the POB.
As always, none of this should be construed as any sort of financial advice.
Thanks for your reply @trostparadox
I understand what you just said. The fact that the owning the Pob can give a greater chance of owning more vyb would make people want to dive into owning Pob. It's a great plan, it'll surely add more value the the Pob token and surely increase it's popularity, the vyb has now given the Pob token a kind of use case.
I really appreciate then fact that you broke it down in simple terms for me..thank you
