The difference is that there is no reason to hold Bitcoin while paying in Kaspa. A store of value and a means of payment do not exclude each other if it solves the money trilemma.
So, why should someone hold Bitcoin long-term if they need to swap it with high fees, when they can hold everything in Kaspa and save on fees as well?
In principle, you’re saying because there is a new asset that is a better form of money, there’s no reason to hold the old asset. While I understand what you’re saying, it doesn’t bear true in the real world. Look at gold and BTC. Just because BTC showed up, gold didn’t go to zero. It takes generations for value to transfer from one asset to another, and even then, the prior asset’s value doesn’t go to zero. It’s very hard to say winner takes all when that hasn’t been the case in all of history.
From what proportion would you discuss it so that other assets are no longer worth considering? I mean it should be clear that I don’t mean exactly 100 percent. 😅
Another point to consider is that while gold might not go to zero against the dollar, it definitely loses value compared to Bitcoin and Kaspa. One reason for this is the rapid rise of these newer forms of money, of course. Even though, this trend is likely to continue in the future.
