 Somebody loses.  Someone must necessarily not stack if you stack. Its a rather simple concept. And why the fiat world had to resort to printing money not tied to gold. If only a few people have all the gold it becomes kinda impossible to use it.  See debeers and the diamond trade. Nobody stacks diamonds. 
 When you buy your food for dollars, you’re losing dollars too? I don’t see your point 
 If you say stack dollars. Its just saying 'save dollars'.   Saving dollars is actually bad for the currency as a whole (even when we account for all the other shennegans around dollars/bank manipulation). Same applies to bitcoin. Telling everyon to save bitcoin makes bitcoin price go up, but its utility go down unless you already own them.  As I said: ponzi vibes.
