No, it isn't because the amount of dollars in the supply exceed 10% of the value of the combined Hive and dollars market cap. So the price feed stays high at 27.1 cents, even as the real value of hives and dollars go down. This is by design. There must be nine times the value in Hive for every dollar for the mechanism. We got into this mess because the chain printed too many dollars and it continues to do so even now.

like right now i guess it isnt, but only since the price dropped below 0.27, and its first time this week that it dropped below conversion price, but guess how overjoyed i was when in the middle of the conversion process this week the price jumped to 0.49 while the conversion price was still at 0.20

i do use conversion regularely id say

also the 0.27 is calculated from the feed median price... just 3 days ago when the price was around 0.27 the trade volume was high again, after it was several days extremely low... the median is robuster than the average meaning spikes like the short time of 0.49 price will not raise the conversion price as much

and guess what while i replied to your message the median price dropped to 0.263
