Future leverage is often cataclysmic to a system over many iterations, especially from a normalized predictability perspective, which is what underpins the current value.
The more volatile over a longer period, the less valuable it should be today, yet..
You're just not valuing money correctly if you buy more when the velocity goes up. The correct reason to buy more is more future production.

For instance, when the Fed prints money, velocity is inevitably going to rise.
Banks ‘buy’ that money fast (tacking-on velocity + inflation), then turn around and leverage it (vi++) by loaning it, (vi++), etc etc.
This is why payday lending is a huge scam, and a terrible idea.
But buying at the top is the name of the game.
By the time that money trickles all the way down to that person who’s ‘buying’ it, it’s changed hands too many times.
ie: There is not enough margin left for the ‘leaf user’ to create any ‘real value’ - it’s all been ‘exited’ by the vampiric ‘value = velocity + future product’ machine.
This is why the rich stay rich despite producing practically no value through labor.
Agree, velocity can be a symptom of an increase in economic activity, but that is totally different from asessing future productivity.
Velocity of money, in the traditional sense, is an artificial construct, a derivative produced in an effort to explain the world, not something directly observed.

Of course, more txns on BSV is good.
I wouldn’t say totally different - future productivity is certainly impacted by inflation, no?
I was trying to imagine how an increase in economic activity could create lower velocity.
Sure, maybe after some period of time, but ‘in the now’?
Since GDP is in the numerator, you can link velocity to economic activity supposing money supply is constant, but one thing is present and another is future economy.
