HODL explanation

"Gresham's Law, attributed to the English financier Sir Thomas Gresham, expresses the idea that in a system where two types of currencies with equal face value but different intrinsic values circulate, the lower value currency will tend to drive the higher value currency out of circulation.

This law is based on the human behavior of using the lower value currency in everyday transactions and keeping the higher value currency. As a result, the lower value currency remains in circulation while the higher value currency tends to be withdrawn or used in transactions involving higher value.

A classic example would be the use of coins or bills of different precious metals, where the coin with less valuable metal content (the "bad" one) would be used for common payments, while that with higher content (the "good" one) would be reserved or valued more because of its precious metal content."

Basically, unless fiat currencies stop being accepted by merchants, they completely collapse, or you need to make a transaction that makes most sense to do using #BTC, then we can expect to see #Bitcoin used as a savings tool, for the most part.

Mais um erro. Essa lei tem uma premissa. A premissa de que uma moeda de curso forçado esteja em circulação. Tão logo o curso forçado seja removido, a tendência é a moeda de maior valor intrínseco expulsar a menor. Atualmente temos as moedas Fiat exercendo o papel de moeda de curso forçado. As shutcoins não têm curso forçado e, em tese não suplantariam o uso do BTC apenas porque ela tem valor menor. A aplicação dessa lei ao cenário atual é inapropriada em se tratando de shutcoins, mas verdadeira em se tratando de moedas do legacy.

Só poderemos comparar o BTC com as shutcoins na prática, e descobrir se a lei é aplicável às cripto quando as moedas Fiat morrerem
