What You Need To Know About Cryptocurrency And Fiat Money by Teslaraj121(m): 10:15am On May 17, 2021
Fiat money is legal tender whose value is tied to a government-issued currency, like the U.S. dollar, while cryptocurrency is a digital asset that derives its value from its native blockchain.


Are cryptocurrencies and fiat money the ?
Yes and no.

Cryptocurrencies are money sofar as they allow exchanges between two parties and act as a store of value. However, they also offer features which the traditional money system is unable to offer right now: cryptocurrencies can be spent and received by anyone, anywhere, at any time throughout the world and without the need for a bank or a government. This is the most revolutionary aspect of cryptocurrencies.

Furthermore, fiat money basically equates to debt. When a central bank issues banknotes, it is simultaneously issuing you, the consumer, a percentage of your government’s debt. How is this the case, you might logically ask? Think about how, for example, the EU and the United States create money.

Fiat money has attributed value because a government declares it legal tender - it has no intrinsic value.
Most of the money a government creates is when loans are taken out. Banks create money when people borrow money. Take the case of the US dollar: if no loans were taken out, there likely wouldn’t be any dollars in circulation either. In other words, without consumers taking out debt to banks, the US dollar wouldn’t be out there in the world.

While fiat money seems to get a major part of its value from debt, this is not the case with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has intrinsic value beyond the trust of its community. Bitcoin doesn’t lean on a system of debts, its value boils down to how effective it is as a medium of exchange.

Cryptocurrencies can be spent and received by anyone, anywhere, and at any time without the need for a bank or a government. This is what makes them so revolutionary.
Bitcoin has created a new form of trust for our future global monetary system. The system behind Bitcoin is completely transparent and based on maths and the actual consensus of the everyday user. Keeping all this in mind, which is a better option for the future of all Nations? Crypto or fiat??

Crypto assets shifting value from $100 to $100,000 in a month, and the next month it drops to $1 should scare anyone. They are too volatile. I'd go for a more stable currency, the Fiats.

There are Factors That are responsible for the value of crypto to be rising and falling and dats is the same as Fiat money! If those factors is probably monitored or if the Crypto is actually a user based and not a market based den we are good to go
