Are you implying fiat can't coexist with Bitcoin? Why does it have to be one or the other?

The way I see it, Bitcoin's mission is to simply hold the fiat currencies of this world in check. Nothing less, nothing more.

If all of the sudden we stop debasing, Bitcoin's raison d'être is largely gone.

I don’t disagree with any of that.

My only point is that if enough men with guns want to shut down cryptocurrency, they can. If enough men with guns want to do anything, they can. The only thing that can stop them is even more men with even more guns.
