So I think I had an empathy, a brain unlock with this. It truly is a “both and” when it comes to stacking sats and spending them. Otherwise is I’m only stacking or only spending: A. I’d be going against my core of “both and” solutions B. I’d be operating from a scarcity instead of an abundance mindset (which is also against my core) Both of 👆leading to cognitive dissonance and espoused behaviors that are contrary to my beliefs. —- Secondly, by both stacking and spending #btc 1. I’m furthering the “money” aspect that is core to the #bitcoin community (which I desire to be a contributor within) 2. I’m pushing forward the #v4v movement 3. By treating BTC as sound money and applying basic budgeting of 10% Tithe / Give 10% Savings 10% Investing 70% Expenses and Lifestyle I’m actually moving closer to what I desire (and the ethos of Bitcoiners to replace the fiat system)…instead of chasing more. Purely stacking or purely spending would be selfish on my part. Therefore I’m left with no other choice than to gradually then suddenly move away from the fiat system and towards soundness. nostr:note13l34c2yd5u3ytffntw5whdvt3ung8ykaxg8wxy2s7sy760xp6u7sqrc4ms
