In Bitcoin, by consensus rules, it is impossible to spend more than you have received; and at any moment, there are more participants who may send value to you than you can send beyond the amount the ...
Ok…so what if we don’t look at this literally and rather practically.
In application, I could zap more times, just with fewer sats, than the amount of sats I’ve received via even a larger quantity of zaps received.
Regardless I think this exercise is getting stuck in the weeds.
The point is: our heart should be to zap more. Give, without expecting in return.
Maybe that means on our personal ledger we have to convert additional fiat to sats.
Even if at this point in time that’s what I have to do so that I can propel the cycle forward, to your point, eventually I will have paid it forward enough so that my net gain in sats is larger than the sats sent.
I get mathematically that is what you are saying; I just think we are not yet at the tipping point and so the nore we can build the habit of zapping (regardless of sats sent) the closer we move to the desired outcome of a Bitcoin Standard.
