Some people on this sub should learn from Copernicus

An excerpt from Monete cudende ratio, 1526.

“Although there are countless scourges which in general debilitate kingdoms, principalities, and republics, the four most important (in my judgment) are dissension, [abnormal] mortality, barren soil, and debasement of the currency. The first three are so obvious that nobody is unaware of their existence. But the fourth, which concerns money, is taken into account by few persons and only the most perspicacious. For it undermines states, not by a single attack all at once, but gradually and in a certain covert manner.

…Therefore money is, as it were, a common measure of values. That which ought to be a measure, however, must always preserve a FIXED and CONSTANT standard. Otherwise, public order is necessarily disturbed, with buyers and sellers being cheated in many ways, just as if the yard, bushel, or pound did not maintain an INVARIABLE MAGNITUDE.”

-Nicholas Copernicus. Emphasis mine.

Yes, Bitcoin is the answer. Copernicus figured out this basic principle 500 years ago, and he didn’t even have the internet, or computers, or electricity.
