Bitcoin vs Fiat : A war between Scarcity and infinite printing

[bitbollo]

Printing isnt enough to descrive the real issue.
Where Is the trust? How you can have Faith in a system that has been designed to rely only into this...?
More over , what Is the defense for people? Just obey and doesn't understand what Is going on?
Infinite printing means .. infinite trust. Probably in western countries we havent see specific issues but this Is the next scenario by rely only in a Fiat system.

Fiat money loses value over time because governments can keep printing more of it. That’s why we see inflation and rising prices. Bitcoin is different because it has a fixed supply of approximately 21 million coins and no one can create more. This scarcity makes it strong and valuable over time, While fiat rewards spending and debt. In a world full of printing and financial instability, Bitcoin offers a simple but powerful alternative: money that can’t be diluted.

One loses value and one protects it. Which would you choose ?

You can always choose both. Bitcoin for store of value, and fiat for purchasing because it's the legal tender.

After choosing to keep my saving in bitcoin, the only thing that changed to my personal finance is that now I don't really have that much fiat as liquidity in bank but I always got bitcoin stash on my hardware wallet.

But I always try to keep about 5% in fiat just in case so that the inflation won't eat up my money that much. The reality is, doesn't matter if fiat keep getting printed and its supply keep growing higher, it's still the legal tender.

Would be great if at one point every company out there accept bitcoin though.

Would be great if at one point every company out there accept bitcoin though.

If that were to happen, it would be fantastic, but I wonder if it actually did, would people use bitcoin to replace fiat for everyday payments?

Although people constantly complain and blame the government for the fact that bitcoin cannot be used as currency or a means of payment. Because they haven't legalized it yet, but if we dare to face the reality, we ourselves wouldn't want to spend our Bitcoin. Most people invest in bitcoin because of its profit potential, and they all just want to get rich from it. Not many people choose Bitcoin because that is its original purpose.

Honestly, I'm really skeptical about that.

Scarcity alone isn’t enough, credibility and execution matter just as much. Fiat fails because incentives are broken: short-term spending, debt expansion and political cycles.
Bitcoin succeeds not only because of fixed supply but because the rules are transparent, predictable and enforced by the network, not discretion.

The real difference is not money vs money but rules vs discretion.

There was no war between bitcoin and fiat from the start, because Satoshi developed bitcoin not to replace fiat completely, but as an alternative that offered a new way to store and transfer value without a third party.

Bitcoin was designed from the start to be a transparent, open, and unmanipulated money system, where people could make it their primary choice for securing their assets, preserving their value, and transferring them wherever they wanted.

That is why bitcoin is chosen by people who want to protect the value of their wealth from inflation and intervention, but at the same time they are still free to continue using fiat in everyday life, since it cannot be completely replaced.

That is why we are always willing to tell our loved ones to own Bitcoin. If you only consider the price, that is too shallow a way of thinking.
The fiat money system can be evaluated in various ways. Those of us who are already in Bitcoin can distinguish the good and bad aspects of fiat versus Bitcoin, which is another reason why many people use masks to hide.
If Bitcoin weren't a great system, it wouldn't still be around in 2026. Bitcoin isn't about price, which is why many prominent figures have adopted Bitcoin and some countries have made Bitcoin part of their reserves.
