This isn't a new thought, not even a new thought for me but I was just reminded of the idea. We tend to measure things in monetary values. Maybe sats or dollars. But that measurement misses something. How much is x worth to me. In most of the world, people earn fractions of what a software developer in the west earns.
Some earn less that $30 a day. I don't even think about $30. But I'm thinking about it wrong. I'm thinking about it in fiat terms. What if you think about money in relation to your work and time. This is a day of my life. What is nothing for me might be a massive thing for someone in different situation.
10,000 sats in current market terms isn't much. If your time preference is low, it is much more valuable. If you only make 80,000 sats a day it is probably even more valuable.
What if we started thinking about wealth and income in terms of how many days can I live in my current lifestyle without working? That changes things doesn't it?
Just a thought.
