Crypto currency is fiat currency... Prove me wrong
Fiat money is any money that is accepted by a government for paying taxes or debt, but is not pegged to or backed directly by gold and other valuables. Fiat money does not have significant intrinsic value or use value. Wikipedia

Plus quantum computing will break the sha256 algorithm encryption soon enough.

Countries will require taxes to be paid in the currancy they choose. Not likely they will dump the petrodollar and accept crypto. If anything you will have to accept a government/UN owned currancy.


Soon cancel culture could kill crypto, just say Trump supporters are behind a certain crypto and it will tank.

Crypto is a new asset class, unrelated to any other.

It is NOT fiat. Fiat is just money that the powers that be force you to use.

Crypto is not controlled by the government.

It's supply is fixed, so no inflation.

Re: Crypto currency is fiat currency... Prove me wrong
You are correct, but even "gold backed" is ultimately Fiat, because the value of gold is also a perceived one, not a real one.

Money does not really exist, the only thing that exists is the collective willingness and belief of most participants in the game to be submitted to put an imaginary value on paper / metal / numbers on a database / absurd numbers created by solving complex maths (a.k.a. crypto currencies).

For anyone that has realized of this, the whole thing is laughable.

Re: Crypto currency is fiat currency... Prove me wrong
Bitcoin is similar to (in some way) Gold/Silver:

1) Computing power (Electricity & time) was spent searching for the hash, much like the time and energy spent mining gold/silver

2) There is a finite amount of it, and when it's all mined up, there will be no more. Although gold/silver won't be 100% mined in the foreseeable future.

 Quoting: mr dull socks


The price of gold is generally inversely related to the value of the United States dollar because the metal is dollar-denominated.4 All else being equal, a stronger U.S. dollar tends to keep the price of gold lower and more controlled, while a weaker U.S. dollar is likely to drive the price of gold higher through increasing demand (because more gold can be purchased when the dollar is weaker).

As a result, gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation. Inflation is when prices rise, and by the same token prices rise as the value of the dollar falls. As inflation ratchets up, so too does the price of gold.

the price of gold is still determined in dollars as it has to be valued with, in something, so like BITCOIN, is backed/traded in FIAT money, it's basically the same thing, leaving aside the PMs purposes that you can do with it

Worst case scenario is it will lose value even quicker and there will be a digital dollar based on the technology. But that's pretty bad.

Bitcoin and all the other casino tokens will never be adopted by any nation as it's own currency like the idiot maxis think.
