HODL got bitcoin through the 80 and 90 percent drawdowns. Now that same mentality is what's keeping it from the next level.
@Kyle Huber puts it simply. You don't stack more by never spending. You stack more by buying and earning.
His barber just took bitcoin for the first time. A $50 cut costs him the same either way. If he buys $50 of bitcoin and sends it to her, he ends up in the exact same place. She skips the card fee, gets paid in the best money, and now she has a reason to learn.
The same goes for artists. Zap @Ainsley Costello . Zap Lady Nakamoto. It's not about the amount. A like says "nice job." A zap says "here is some of my time and energy, the value I stored. You can have some of it."
That is what motivates artists to keep going.

What is @`Anik Malcolm`'s one-of-one worth in 2140, priced in Bitcoin?
That year is when the last bitcoin is mined. The supply stops at 21 million. Dollars do not stop. They can be printed. A hand-painted one-of-one cannot be printed either.
In this clip, a Lady Nakamoto cost $100. It hangs in an office. It gets looked at every day. The buyer said he should have paid more.
Support an artist because the work matters. The person who buys it now also takes a seat in the shift, holding a piece of the culture in the same money the culture is moving toward.

Full Conversation with @`Kyle Huber` and @`Dion Wilson ` in comments
For a century, artists got paid last. Labels, platforms, and middlemen ate first.
Value for value flips it. The fan pays the artist. Directly. In sats.
@Joe Martin, Ep 6. https://fanfares.io/s/xMLC9n
Hodling bitcoin matters. @Fzero 's next point matters too.
If the sats sit in one place and never get spent, the artist does not get paid. The speed of money is how fast it changes hands. The speed of knowledge is how fast an idea moves. That speed tells you whether an economy is actually working.
He ties it to open tools. Work anyone can read, use, and improve travels farther than work locked in one place.

Use bitcoin 🧡
How did you discover Bitcoin? A friend, a podcast, a rabbit hole?
Now imagine finding it because a painting moved you, or a song touched your heart.
That's why we bring culture into Bitcoin spaces. Art as the gateway to sound money. 🧡

With Bitcoin we have this really nice movement that we call V4V — Value for Value — where fans can send Satoshis directly to us artists.
It’s still early. Nobody’s living off streaming alone. But at the shows in Las Vegas and Belgrade this year, we got meaningful amounts of sats during the set.
There’s huge potential there.
