I think that the price of this coin was kept solely by trading on Poloniex.
After delisting, the chance of getting attention with an outdated POW mining concept is close to zero.
Of course, the delisting sent the value of PASC down. Almost all trading took place via Poloniex. Fortunately, several new exchanger have now listed PAS.
I wonder if you can prove any relation between consensus method and market value. BTW the Random hash is not an outdated PoW algo.
Any mining involving video cards, Asic chips or combined processor cores is POW model.
The POW system is subject to frequent forks especially when the price of mining does exceed the value of the coin.
This seems to have happened many times with Pascal Coin.
