you cannot buy time. so it is not a commodity.

however, at the fundamental level, bitcoin is a timestamp server: it chronologically sequences data points, authoritatively, without depending on any one actor. this is a valuable service, and has the potential, at scale, to make bitcoin a commodity.

the bitcoin that scales is bsv.

I agree in the legal definition of commodity, but Bottom Line
Yes — a person can absolutely perceive their lifespan as a commodity.
Not legally. Not economically.
But psychologically, emotionally, and philosophically — yes.
It means they feel their finite time is being:
priced
consumed
traded
exploited
invested
or wasted
And that perception can shape their behavior profoundly.
