dumb question here, go easy on me gang.
Do PoS and PoT have opposite incentives?
As I understand it, PoS encourages holding, but PoT encourages spending.
So are these forces cancelled out or diluted to half their strength (assuming they are equally rewarding for their respective loss of opportunity cost)?
well, look at it this way. PoS gives you coins just like any other PoS coin. but if you happen to send or spend the coins, and least you have PoT with this coin. not so with any other coin.
