I am new to cryptocurrency world and I've learnt a lot since I started reading about it but I've not really gotten much of understanding on what is meant by FIAT CURRENCIES?
You do not need to understand what fiat currencies are if you are interested in cryptocurrencies and crypto market because fiat currencies are just the traditional paper currencies like usd, euro, gbp etc from where you are coming so why would you still want to stuck there? Just try to understand how cryptocurrencies work and what use cases they present and what problems they solve for the world atleadt focus on bitcoin and ethereum and you will understand it all in a few months.

FIAT is a legal or original currency but in paper form. for example like the Dollar and especially in my country Indonesia is called Rupiah. so you can redefine the meaning of the FIAT currency. I think your country also has a FIAT currency.

Fiat currency is the centralized native currency of every country controlled by the government. Just like the Dollar , pounds , Dinari , Yen and so on. It's always in paper form used to make every dealings of buying and selling. But cryptocurency is decentralized with high anonymity.

the simplest explanation of fiat currencies is the money you use in your regular life when you go to the store or pay for fuel. but if you compare fiat money with cryptocurrency, it's just an outdated economic system

Fiat currencies are the currencies used in different countries. A good example is, in your own country or in your location, the money which is minted by the government and totally controlled by them is the fiat currency of that country. In a country like USA their fiat currency is US Dollars and also fiat comes in physical or hard form unlike cryptocurrencies which are digital currencies. Hence the typical differences between cryptocurrencies and fiat is; cryptocurrencies comes in digital forms while fiat is in physical or hard form, cryptocurrencies are not controlled by the government while fiat is owned and controlled by the government.

Fiat currencies are which we are using them in daily life, like dollar, euro, etc. It is controlled by banks, which means it is centralized monetary, but about cryptocurrency, it is decentralized monetary. That is why none or nothing can not control this world. It is a big difference between fiat currency and cryptocurrency. But no doubt if you start learning about both of currencies, you will know differences between them. Cryptocurrency gives us a good opportunity like we can make our transactions with fewer fees than our fiat currency.

It's basically the money issued by the government. That's it. The crypto world thinks that Crypto can replace FIAT. Well, It's a possibility. But when will it happen? I feel like we are on the right track but still have quite a distance to the goal.

As the other users said, it is basically the money circulating in your country and issued by your local government. It is the traditional money we used to do different kinds of transactions for our daily life. What you have in your pocket or in your wallet is what we call fiat currency.

To make it simple, fiat currencies are provided or issued by our government, and the currency that you are using right now for making transactions is called cash, which is an precise example of fiat currency. I also think you are not making a good research here because I assume everybody knows what is a fiat currency.
