Fiat is controlled by governments, governments are controlled by humans, humans are often irrational and there are many more examples than just Venezuela which is the only thing you could think of.

Bitcoin is governed by math and that’s why it’s valuable to me.

Bitcoin is beneficial to society because it provides choice. I don’t care if you don’t get it or if you disagree.

The truth is that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are highly volatile and in fact a very dangerous alternative.
