Big blocks principally! It's probably easier to talk about how BTC doesn't sustain fast flow of energy, e.g. small blocks lead to a full mempool, which increases transaction fees and slows transaction times, which discourages use and makes people resort to using other chains, lowering the value of the coin, which in turn removes hash power, increasing block times and raising transaction fees, frustrating the user even more, which is reflected in lower usage, and which may eventually lead to chain death as the difficulty adjustment window means that the block times lengthen and the next block just gets further and further away. Artificial throttling has bad outcomes.
Conversely, BitcoinSV has block sizes that increase in size to match demand, and transaction fees which lower the more data is stored and the more the network is used, which encourages more information and energy to be committed to the network, which encourages more use, which encourages more apps to be built utilizing the network, which attracts more miners, which builds greater density of connections, making the network more valuable, which supports more use cases and makes the on-chain data itself more valuable, etc. So the speed of energy flow through the system in many ways builds and constitutes the value and complexity of the system, and the (Proof of work) energy 'wastage' represents a smaller and smaller percentage of the energy that is stored in the system. A virtuous circle instead of a vicious one, as in BTC.

the virtuos cycle makes sense. what do you mean by 'wastage' represents a smaller percentage of energy stored in the system?
Ah, there I'm talking about the purposely 'wasted' energy / costly signalling of proof of work. So, as Bitcoin SV data processing, timestamping, storage and delivery functions increase over time, they quickly outweigh the 'lost energy' of POW, therefore the system becomes more energy efficient the more it's used.
ah gotcha so the benefit/usage/value increases outpacing the energy cost of proof of work
