I don’t think you understand my question. I’m not asking why governments will or will not ditch FIAT for crypto.
I’m asking you what makes you think FIAT will survive and not hyperinflate. And if you think so, why? Like, what will prevent USD let’s say from bleeding out in terms of value, or even dying suddenly (by suddenly I mean hyperinflation that kills it in years time after it begins).
That’s a job of central banks, and they normally manage it well enough. Sure, crypto offers more reliability on that front by making it impossible to control emission. But at the same time, this means money can’t be printed when it would be highly beneficial for the economy, for example when recovering from economic crisis - without extra emission the country will be screwed up real bad. At the end of the day, the fiat emission is agile for good reasons.
I don’t think money should ever be printed or burned. I guess we can only agree to disagree.
Alright, let’s settle on that.
