    Time is the coin of your Life.

    It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.

    Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

    And when you spend it, spend it wisely so that you get the most for your expenditure.

    ~Carl Sandburg

    I play EvE online and have done the whole player/corp/guild managment thing and we had a phrase.

    “The game has 4 currencies Time, Money, Content and Trust. You can buy 3 of them”

    In your context, times currency is a represention of existing. If you choose to spend it wisely is up to you. And we’re out here shooting the shit on Lemmy… so… Yah…

    There’s not much distinction between currency and product is there? Most products are just other forms of currency - eg, goods can be sold back for money. Services usually save you time. So when you say product, you just mean what is time exhanged for?

    The most common product of time is probably money, the next most ubiquitous type of currency. But then there are also more abstract things like enjoyment, knowledge, rest.
