so sad..
Actually vtho functions like GAS and has nothing to do?
Not true at all. Contrary to NEO/GAS, VTHO is the most fundamental aspect of the VeChain Thor blockchain. Every transaction, smart contract, token transfer, etc needs VTHO as gas fee. BTC and ETH needs to pay gas fee in their respective currency but VET needs to pay VTHO. Read my brief explanation below a few weeks ago.
According to the Whitepaper, VTHO is used to fuel transactions on the blockchain.
Every transaction, dApp, ICO, etc will need VTHO as gas. It should be highlighted that VTHO is not unlimited as 70% of it will be burned on usage.
To get VTHO, you either buy VET to generate yourself (1 VET =0.000432 VTHO per day) , or buy it OTC through VeChain partners or buy from open market
And yes, according to the whitepaper, if VTHO speculatory demand causes it to increase, the built in code will adjust the amount of VTHO as gas fee to be used as well as generation ratio of VET/VTHO to keep fiat costs consistent, allowing speculation to happen as well. The economic model is developed by their Chief Scientist in collaboration with Michigan State University and Oxford University.
So the more partners on-boarded and the more adoption happens, more transactions will happen -> VTHO demand increase -> VET demand increase -> VET price increase.
Also, many people will sell their VTHO to buy VET as well, akin to compounding interest.
Thus, aside from hoping value of VET will increase like any other crypto, you get a economic model that is bound to increase its value over time.
To me, why bother holding other crypto which only relies on speculation? We hold crypto because of expectation of profits, in which VET excels at both speculation as well as real world usage
