Okay can someone please use retard speak to explain why I would want to invest my VIA into XCH rather than selling for a BTC profit? How do I get money back out of XCH after the 45 day period? What will VIA still be good for after the 45 Days?
XCH is needed to create colored coins in Clearinghouse. When XCH is used in this way it is burned so the number of XCH available will decrease. XCH will also be traded in clearing house, so you can trade them for Via (and probably other pairs as well).
Due to this it may be that XCH will be worth more Via than what you originally burned to acquire them.
XCH runs on the Via coin block chain, so Via is the underlying store of value and POW for XCH. So, Via will still have value and always at the least you will need 85 XCH to acquire 1 Via. XCH will "probably" trade on regular exchanges as well just XCP does. So, Via/XCH has the same relationship as BTC/XCP does.
You might want to read about counterparty
https://www.counterparty.co/about/ . The problem with counterparty is that the bitcoin devs are doing everything they can to stop this from working, since they consider it blockchain spam. Also, I think Clearinghouse, which it uses the counterparty protocol, has an advantage running on Via's blockchain due to the 24 second blocks, which makes all the CH trades run faster.
The main difference, which I'm not sure I love, is that the Via isn't actually being burned the way Bitcoin was to create counterparty.
