If you actually followed the source wikipedia links to, it says the following: I use the term fiat or abstract paper money interchangeably to stand for a government supplied means of payment of no intrinsic worth. So not even your own source actually supports your claim. It's just Wikipedia messing up. Not sure why this bothers some of you so much. There is government fiat, now digital fiat, clam shell fiat, etc, etc. As freethink just said, fiat isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's not bad that USD is fiat in that sense. What's bad about USD is that it is debt based. It enters the system as debt. It would actually be nice if the treasury would just issue sovereign money and break capital holders grip on our economy. But they can't/won't because they are in debt to the capital holders. Some of you worry about the small things and don't really see the big picture at work here. Because it is muddling language. When you add meanings to words, the words actually get less meaningful. This serves a good purpose in politically charged topics as you can become more vague about what you mean without people even realizing it a lot of times. The etymology is fairly clear in this case, fiat means by decree. Relevant: https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/orwell46.htmListen, guys. English is a living language. The definition of "fiat", in the context of money, has also come to mean "unbacked currency with no utility", despite its root meaning of "decree". Therefore it's not unreasonable to say bitcoins are fiat. This really shouldn't bother anyone, since it's semantic and doesn't imply anything about the nature of bitcoins except that they have no backing. And they do have no backing. "Artificial" used to mean 'artful' or 'skillful in construction''. "Awful"? 'Evocative of awe'. "Doom"? 'Lawful decree'. "Passenger"? 'Foot traveler'.

Sentiment seems terrible today. We are hovering around an all-time high, and a lot of people are acting as if we just had a crash, or that this is definitely the top....

Looks pretty darn stable to me. yeah. what's this? opposite day? Everyone is waiting for the weekend dip to buy. Many of the day traders have sold in anticipation thereof. With most buyers waiting, and few sellers who have not yet sold, we are stable on a Thursday. I think this may look a bit like the weekend after the $233-$175 correction. But this is bitcoin . . . Some half-hearted selling going on now.

Much of the talk here is noise, no offense to anyone (and I spend hours here lurking, reading, and now, finally, joining the fray, so I don't dismiss the conversation), but truth be told, Google trends ('bitcoin") is the Magic 8 Ball.

As arbitrage is not simple or quick, each exchange sets up it's own balance of supply/demand, to an extent.
