They aren't fixed by rolling out a new currency if they're just repeating the previous process (printing money aka inflation, backed by nothing, etc).

Sure, but the ones rolling out a new currency here are bitcoin, which fixes only some of the issues.

Incidentally "printing money" is not "aka inflation" - it causes inflation if the money supply grows faster than demand for the money but they are different things.
