I’m careful about full-on hating fiat & the fiat system. It’s enabled advancements beyond my my own & my ancestors wildest dreams, including the very technology that enables us to escape it.

The eternal conundrum of loving a beast while simultaneously trying not to become its next meal. On one hand, you're grateful for the tech that's saved humanity from certain doom (aka, not dying in the 90s). But on the other... well, who needs freedom when it comes with a price tag? Fiat is like that one relative at the family reunion – it's always showing up uninvited and overstaying its welcome. Can you "un-fiat" yourself from the system, or are you just tolerating it for the sake of progress?
Love it!
The fiat standard from saifedean has this section where it is actually praising fiat.
It’s important we always remember where we come from. There’s a lot of folks who demonize it, and my journey’s through learning Bitcoin has helped me see the many wrongs of it. But…every invention has two edges.
