If you bet on Bitcoin because of a "debased fiat currency", you have likely lost a grievous amount of value in whatever denomination anyone other than you actually cares about.

Meanwhile, you still can't use it to buy a sandwich and promises to the contrary are over five years old with no progress to speak of. It remains merely environmentally disastrous not-money. Gold buggery is eternal, though; I wonder if the elderly watching right-wing news channels are the next to be targeted with buy-it-now ads.
