DW NOTE
Lawrence Lepard is right that balance sheet rot precedes monetary debasement — he's wrong if he thinks Bitcoin benefits automatically. The U.S. federal deficit hit $1.4 trillion through June, producer inflation is running at 5.51%, and gold has fallen 24.8% from its January high despite textbook conditions for monetary hedge demand. Store-of-value assets do not rally because they should; they rally when capital has nowhere else to hide, and right now it still does.
