Well, at least with fiat currency you have the promise of a government backing it, so you can evaluate it based on the track record and policies of that government, and the stability and prosperity of the nation.

Can’t do that with bitcoin.

Bitcoin has two things going for it... 1. The belief of its participants 2. It isn’t manipulated by any government
