“Debased money” is only a problem if you keep your savings as money (cash). If you instead keep your savings as a balanced portfolio of various assets (stocks, RE, gold, etc. and some emergency cash) you don’t have to worry about “debased money”.
There is no such thing as a stable currency, even gold. In the 1500’s Spain had runaway inflation though they had gold currency because of all the gold that they stole from the Americas.

Anyone who keeps their savings in a single asset class is asking for trouble.
By analogy, suppose we discover an asteroid containing significant quantities of silver or gold.
