Copernicus' Theory On the Quantity of Money (an article) by Bitcoin Graffiti
TL;DR: The same genius who revolutionized science by calculating that the earth and planets revolve around the sun also came up with a theory of money.
Hey Bitcoiners,
The “Copernican revolution” is what we now commonly call the theory that the sun, not the earth, is at the center of our solar system. To learn this and prove it required incredible mathematical genius and intuition based on decades of precise astronomical observation — way back in the 1400s.
Bitcoin Graffiti has researched the history of another task Copernicus completed. Namely, providing the King of Prussia with a theory on how to prevent the currency from losing its purchasing power so quickly. Copernicus came up with a timeless theory, long predating the Austrian school, that shares many of its insights and conclusions. It’s an interesting read and shows how these truths have been accessible for centuries to those who care to look closely and run the numbers.
Enjoy!
