-- If the 20th century was defined by the rivalry between Keynesian government intervention and Friedman’s free-market monetarism, then the 21st century belongs to a more fundamental reinvention of value: consumption capitalism. Not merely a transitional fix to legacy systems, this new paradigm seeks to redefine the underlying logic of value by:
- Reconstructing the origin of wealth: expanding from the classic production-investment-profit chain to a new loop of "consumption → computing power → asset → credit."
- Breaking the monopoly on profit distribution: empowering consumers to share in corporate profits alongside capitalists and technologists.
- Reshaping production relations: recognizing consumption as a key upstream driver in the value chain, rather than a terminal action.
This bold rethinking of capitalism was foreseen by Professor Chen Yu in The Theory of Consumption Capital, where he states:
“Corporate profits are created by three kinds of capital — monetary, intellectual, and consumption capital — and should be shared among them.”
This incisive statement shatters the surface calm of traditional capital distribution, pointing directly at the root injustice: consumers have long been deprived of their rightful share in value creation. Under this logic, consumption is not the end of economic activity but rather its first capital, as crucial as production and innovation. Yet for years, despite its brilliance in academic circles, this idea lacked a practical system to bring it to life — something traditional finance and e-commerce models were structurally unable to do.
Until BeFlow arrived.
BeFlow uses PayFi and on-chain computing power mining mechanisms to bring consumption capitalism into everyday spending. With BeFlow:
- Each transaction mints sustainable computing power assets.
- Consumers and merchants share rewards based on contribution.
- Smart contracts transparently distribute profits, eliminating centralized intermediaries.
In this fusion of technical and economic innovation, BeFlow unites the Dao and the Technique of The Theory of Consumption Capital, turning a philosophical vision into practical, on-chain reality.
I. Introducing "Consumption Capital": A Fundamental Economic Revolution
In The Theory of Consumption Capital, Professor Chen Yu declares: "Consumption capital is the first capital, the backbone of all capital." This challenges the deep-seated bias in economics that views consumption as merely a final step, a passive role. Instead, Chen's insight reveals consumption as a productive force — a primary driver of industry and innovation.
When consumers make purchases, they convert monetary capital into goods while simultaneously contributing to network effects, brand propagation, and data value — all of which should be recognized as forms of capital equivalent to production or technology.
BeFlow is the first platform to make this idea truly executable. Through its PayFi architecture, every BeFlow transaction becomes a capital-forming act. Each payment with BEE tokens triggers smart contracts that calculate and mint computing power assets, which are then released as BEE rewards over time. The technical backbone includes a high-performance chain, MPC wallet, dual-token model, and decentralized governance.
Consumers are not just "buyers" but on-chain "computing miners" and "value shareholders." Each transaction leaves a verifiable value trail, enabling equitable, algorithm-based distribution. This is not just an incentive model — it's an entirely new way to allocate economic power.
II. The Three Capitals of the Commodity Economy: Production, Knowledge, and Consumption
On page 452 of The Theory of Consumption Capital, Professor Chen writes:
“Only when a product is purchased by consumers in the market does it realize its value and profit — this consumption process is the manifestation of consumption capital.”
Traditionally, profit rights were concentrated in the hands of producers and investors. Consumers, after making purchases, were left out of the ongoing value creation cycle.
BeFlow rewrites this logic:
- Consumption-as-Mining: Whether paying for lunch, a ride, or an online purchase, each BEE token consumed mints computing power according to formulas like "1,000 BEE → 1T Hashrate."
- Hashrate as Capital: This power unlocks phased BEE rewards and additional privileges.
- Scene-Covering Usage: Everyday spending on food, transport, subscriptions, or education all become on-chain value-generating actions.
BeFlow transforms consumers from passive spenders to collaborative capital creators, ensuring that all three capitals — production, knowledge, and consumption — contribute to and benefit from the value chain.
III. From "Savers as Shareholders" to "Consumers as Investors"
Traditional banking treats deposits as investments and offers interest as a return. Professor Chen takes this further:
“Every purchase by a consumer is essentially an investment in the enterprise.”
BeFlow embodies this by turning consumption into capital injection and hashpower into equity. The result: an evolved "deposit → interest" model becomes "consumption → mining reward," with smart contracts transparently executing all logic.
This new protocol-level infrastructure replaces centralized rebate schemes with verifiable, sustainable returns. Consumers become builders and stakeholders in the network.
IV. Community Commerce: The Ideal Structure of Future Organizations
Chen writes: "Consumption capital elevates consumers from the end of the product chain to the forefront of the industry chain as investors."
BeFlow puts this into practice through a community-merchant model:
- Merchant Rebate → Hashpower Injection: Merchants set 5–30% rebate rates, which are automatically converted into computing power and split 1:1 between merchant and consumer.
- Shared Incentive Pool: Merchant and consumer hashpower accumulate into a shared pool. Whenever anyone transacts, rewards are distributed to all participants.
- Decentralized Governance: The more hashpower held, the greater the voting weight in community decisions.
- Smart Contracts = Rules: All rules — rebates, distribution, governance — are codified on-chain.
- Scalable Rollout: BeFlow targets 10,000 merchants by the end of 2025, spanning dining, retail, travel, and entertainment sectors.
Through this "Consumption Capital + Community" synergy, BeFlow transforms fragmented individual spending into cooperative economic networks, building a new model of decentralized business.
V. BeFlow: The Most Complete Execution of a 16-Year Vision
Chen once lamented: "The Dao is sound, but the Technique remains lacking."
BeFlow finally answers this call:
- Hashpower = Consumption: Every transaction instantly mints computing power.
- Assets = Transactions: Each on-chain action creates verifiable, traceable asset entries.
- Smart Contract Rewards: BEE incentives are fairly and transparently released.
- User + Merchant Governance: Hashpower grants governance rights — consumers become ecosystem builders.
This is not theoretical packaging — it’s a working protocol that embeds "Consumption = Capital" into the core of a new economic OS.
VI. BeFlow: The On-Chain Operating System of Consumption Capitalism
The Theory of Consumption Capital gave us the moral and intellectual imperative. BeFlow turns it into executable code.
BeFlow is not just a PayFi platform — it is the first blockchain-based operating system that translates daily spending into tradeable, value-generating digital assets. It redefines profit-sharing and governance, enabling merchants and users to co-own the ecosystem.
This is not technical patchwork. It is a reprogramming of capitalism itself. While the world debates the cost of consumption, BeFlow turns it into value.
Join BeFlow — not just as a user, but as a co-architect of the next economic era.
Failing to embrace the right Dao and the right Technique may mean missing the gateway to the next generation.
