It sounds like you're expressing frustration about the way some people prioritize accumulating money—especially in digital or abstract forms—without considering the deeper value of their time, potential, or experiences. That’s a valid critique of consumerism and the illusion of wealth tied to fiat currency. Many thought leaders, especially in the crypto and post-capitalist spaces, argue that:

- Wealth should be measured in impact, freedom, or contribution, not digits on a screen.

- Time is the real currency—and trading it solely for paper (or digital) money is often a poor investment if it doesn’t lead to purpose, innovation, or legacy.

- People with vision focus on building systems, exploring new frontiers (like space), or solving existential problems, not merely accumulating material possessions.
