I believe it's both, i.e. 'sats flow'. You spend the Bitcoin you replenish, ideally by getting paid in Bitcoin (which is not common), and save more than you spend (stacking). Then leveraging new technologies (AI), hard work or any other enterprise you can muster (proof of work) to increase your satsflow.
Stacking and spending are not mutually exclusive, though stacking has a greater gravitas than spending, for the apparent reason that you'll be able to buy 1.25, 1.50, or 2 times as much of whatever it is you wanted, if you wait - this is where low time preference comes in re purhcases, alongside being able to purchase higher-quality goods - effectively changing how the economy woks. It seems to me alongside Bitcoin, is the idea that we should be using our mental capacity/gifts etc, to create value, and high-quality goods. For those that have >100 Bitcoin this is easy to do, they have the time to standbac and spend sometime in contemplation, for those less that 1 Bitcoin, this can seem far fetched, or not a reality for them - though the hope is, that they will too be able to enjoy the fruit of being on a Bitcoin standard.
Also, it's a hidden (you can't assign it a metric to track), but the more people who move to a Bitcoin standard, the better the reality becomes you, i.e. you can't fully know the real benefit (it's potentially massive) of giving your sats to someone else, the more the network grows, the more valuable it is, that means for you also, even though you might not have as much Bitcoin as you once did etc. If you can imagine sats being like blood, and everyone is an organisim that participates in such a mannor that only when the blood flows between all it's parts, does it become optimal, superoptimal. etc
Anyways, I'm yammering - pax!
Wow, beautiful garden. Would love to have a bigger garden like this!

We are relatively spared on Nostr for the moment, but this is clearly observable on X or Facebook.
Why do the platforms allow this? Because it pads their numbers? Who pays for these? #asknostr

That is nuts! .... not the good kind we've come to know around here.
This and also, those parties have clients who just said find me someone/where to get x return, because they want to give x return to their customers none of whom want to be tethered to bitcoin. if they get bitcoin because of the debtor got called, they get bitcoin and get to sell or keep it.
Also, bitcoiners literally want this product so there’s just simple demand and buyers were found on the other side.
Haha nice. Yea it’s a clip that just makes ya feel good.
A thanks for reminding me of this gem. One of my favourite. nostr:nprofile1qqsp3yzapfwkyw4cr2vt4xx9s27474lj2pkxhqyfqh79n826pv3fkzqpzemhxue69uhk7mre9e3k7aewd4hk7mewvdhk6qg4waehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvspp9tal you seen this before?
I think it’s insanely cool but I’m trying to think how onboarding my non bitcoin friends would go mostly around the idea of having to set up a node and manage inbound outbound liquidity. I know there’s Zeus and LSPs but still there’s a lot of learning all the same really.
Cashu though, I think is pretty incredibly powerful for onboarding lightning and bitcoin “look here’s some digital ‘cash’ it’s actually real bitcoin, but not need to get technical right now” … next time “oh yea so here’s a few things you can do, go straight to full custody bitcoin by … etc etc”
I reckon gifting sats to my mates through cashu being my first attempt at onboarding them. Thanks nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg
What does living on a bitcoin standard look like, how’s it done?
Haha small synchronicity - was only humming this to myself about an hour ago. What an hilarious tune… but catchy.
