I pay you: sats

I pay universe: POW

If I want to turn an abstract thing into a real thing, I apply POW. This goes for building a house to making a digital object that is consequential.

Sats exist because a cost has been paid to the universe. They are consequential digital objects. We exchange them because they make good money.

Not all digital consequential objects function as good money. But that doesn't mean they don't have value to someone.
