Can Bitcoin crash the high cost of living around the world economy?

[Awaklara]

Should the government switch to Bitcoin to enable them stabilize the economy?  If the various government around the world accept Bitcoin,it will give Fiat a break and it will bounce back.

I just think governments in various countries wouldn’t do that to save their fiat currencies. Governments will push the use of their fiat for all transactions, not replace it with another currency. When a lot of people leave or convert their fiat to another currency, whether it’s dollars or Bitcoin, what actually happens is their fiat loses value. Bitcoin does have hedging potential and can be used for transactions, but if you compare it to saving the value of fiat in a country facing a crisis, that might be tough and would require a lot of overhaul in the country’s financial system.

With the high cost living around the world and the nature of fiat fluctuating here and there, can Bitcoin do the unthinkable? Because fiat is no more valuable as it used to be. Bills rising above fiat and the various government around the world grappling to stabilize their economy yet it's not working. Should the government switch to Bitcoin to enable them stabilize the economy?  If the various government around the world accept Bitcoin,it will give Fiat a break and it will bounce back.

El Salvador switched to Bitcoin(for a while and the USD was still accepted as a payment method) and what was the result? Bitcoin adoption failed in a small and underdeveloped country like El Salvador, why do you think it would succeed in bigger and more developed countries?
The average inflation in the Eurozone is around 3%. Why would the European countries adopt BTC only to fight low inflation rates? The USA won't adopt BTC as a legal tender because the US dollar is still the dominant global currency, which gives certain benefits to the US financial system. How do you imagine Bitcoin "crashing" the cost of living? Fiat won't be "given a break" even if BTC gets potentially adopted as a legal tender. Most countries will keep their fiat currencies for sure. Bitcoin is great the way it is.

Countries are accepting bitcoin already, but most of them only recognize civil right to property or commodity. The truth is, bitcoin is not some magical tool to solve world hunger or poverty but a tool for financial independence.
It is a good hedge but the effectiveness to overcome high cost of living is still questionable as there is only one country that has tried the hypothesis which is El Salvador and they seems to be doing fine.

If you want to buy bitcoin for a hedge, good. However, it doesn't mean you or any state that adopt it will automatically become rich or solve the financial problem they have, we need to acknowledge this fact.

To think that any government would give up their printing machine and allow fiat to bounce back is to miss point of why politicians love centralized control of banking systems. I think no single government in the world will ever give themselves up for benefit of stable economy to Bitcoin, it would wipe out their ability to change interest rates and create out of thin air national debts. Move from top down is yet to come but the real change is already underway from the bottom up. Self custody and hard money assets are being taken up by ordinary citizens as form of personal get out of jail free card. Bitcoin was not created to be temporary stop gap step to save sick fiat currencies, but other to get rid of broken ways of central banks.

Let's be realistic. The Bitcoin experiment in El Salvador has failed.

The people of El Salvador have refused to use it as a currency. Meanwhile, their economy has shown little to no significant progress since Bitcoin was integrated into it. As a result, they were forced to accept IMF terms in exchange for loans to save their struggling economies.

As you said, Bitcoin is a good risk hedging tool, but it is not a magic bullet to solve a country's economic problem. El Salvador is no exception.
