I heard a quote that I’m going to butcher but : You spend 90,000 hrs working yet don’t spend 100hrs knowing how money works 🤔

That was Michael Saylor. He said "You spend 90k hours making money, you can spend 100 hours learning how to keep it."

Nice post! I agree with the gist of it.
Now I'm going to butcher your butchered quote:
spend 100hrs knowing how money works
As bitcoiners, we tend to interpret the above as spending those 100hrs on learning how bitcoin works. It may be time to allocate more of those hours on learning how fiat money doesn't work?

Damn 2 butchers having a turn = mince!
Learning how fiat money doesn’t work is learning why the government does what it does. Until money and state are separated its citizens are the yield and will be squeezed as such. I’ve been reading Sovereign individual and it is really an eye opener on the many renditions of governments over time. Wild yet makes our current situation unsurprising

Allow me to butcher the carrot further...
Spend a myriad of weeks chasing crap or spend a myriad of minutes understand what crap is.
