I had to look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham%27s_law

Gresham's law is an economic principle that states: "When a government overvalues one type of money and undervalues another, the undervalued money will leave the country or disappear from circulation into hoards, while the overvalued money will flood into circulation."[1] It is commonly stated as: "Bad money drives out good".

So if Bitcoin gets demoted from currency to property. Every transaction will incur a capital gains consequence. Thats going to put chill on liquidity if not kill it.
