#Bitcoinâs 21M limit creates a deflationary effect on everything else that isnât as hard. Time also has a hard limit, however youâre required to spend those down. Here is a useful way for measuring whether your choices give you more time- either by extending your lifespan or by increasing your free time: Try using time as a unit of account for your decisions. Treat it as a currency. Donât translate your time into fiat or Bitcoin for calculating its value: keep the denomination in time. Use hours. Presume a newborn has 650,000 hours. An average 40 year old has 300,000 hours remaining. An average 60 year old has 130,000 hours remaining. Then calculate how many free hours (uncommitted to work or sleep) you have. A newborn will have 220,000 hours of free time in their life. A 40 year old will have about 126,000 hours of free time remaining. A 60 year old will have about 70,000 hours of free time remaining. Now, whenever you make a decision, calculate how much time it will cost you in hours. It could be an investment in your time that buys you either more lifespan hours or more free time. Or it could be an expense of your time where no return on either lifespan or free time is expected.
