Fiat money is issued by countries and it is supposed to be supported by something (could be gold in older times). It is also recognized by the other countries of the world and is accepted in order to be exchanged in banks. Cryptocurrencies are issued by a number of people (could be one could be many) and have a value if and only if other people accept to use it. If tomorrow people refuse to use a specific crypto it will collapse.

Fiat is a paper money and cryptocurrency is a digital money. Cryptocurrency price is driven by market demand and fiat value is driven by a country's economy and financial position. Cryptocurrency price is volatile and fiat is not. Cryptocurrency is decentralized and fiat is not. Cryptocurrency grows in value over time depending on market demand, while on the other hand fiat losses it's value because of cost of living and price inflation.

The most important difference the Fiat Currency and cryptocurrency in a source of issue and control. Fiat - the centralized issue and complete control of the government by the central bank. The original concept of cryptocurrencies - full decentralization: the decentralized issue and absence of the central supervisory authorities.
