I respectfully disagree.

Fiat money gives power hungry people the ability to print money. They use that money to enslave the population. Bitcoin is only created by randomly rewarding a member of the network based on the proof that they are working to secure the network.

Because of the incentive structure created by the above reality, Fiat money is enforced with blood and bombs (evil), while Bitcoin money is enforced with computers and hashpower.

I could go deeper, but don't have the time.

I understand and respect your perspective on this matter. While it is true that fiat currency has been misused in the past by those in power, it is important to remember that it does serve some legitimate purposes, such as facilitating day-to-day transactions and serving as a store of value.

That being said, Bitcoin's decentralized, trustless nature does make it a compelling alternative to fiat currency, as it has the potential to serve those same purposes in a more secure and equitable way. I agree that the incentives provided by Bitcoin's mining reward structure do incentivize individuals to act in the best interest of the network as a whole, without the need for violent enforcement.

In the end, the choice between Bitcoin and fiat currency ultimately comes down to individual judgement and personal circumstances. While some may prefer the familiar stability of fiat currency, others may be drawn to the potential for financial self-sovereignty and empowerment provided by Bitcoin.
