OP is correct. Comparing Bitcoin's value against fiat is like
comparing oil's value to steam before the oil age, or comparing
ARPANET's value to the telegraph in 1985. A premature comparison of infant tech to dinosaur tech.
These fiat <-> crypto comparisons are going to look extremely silly in five years, downright hilarious in ten, and fully absurd in twenty.

The Internet's takeover of the global communication landscape was almost instant in historical terms: it only communicated 1% of the information flowing through two-way telecommunications networks in the year 1993, already 51% by 2000, and more than 97% of the telecommunicated information by 2007.[1] Today the Internet continues to grow, driven by ever greater amounts of online information, commerce, entertainment, and social networking."
