> Fiat is trash

I'll gladly take that trash off your hands if you hate it so much

Statistically, the majority of the world’s fiat IS trash. Most of the world’s currencies are not worth holding at all.

You just happen to be born in a country that doesn’t have trash fiat - yet.

But if you were born in Pakistan, Lebanon, Argentina, or even Turkey, you’d probably say that your fiat was trash.

> Most of the world’s currencies are not worth holding at all.

No currencies are worth holding (lending at interest isn’t holding.) Holding isn’t what currency is for.

Most currencies are also not worth lending at prevailing local interest rates.

Currently, that also applies to apparently non-trash currencies like Euro and to some degree, USD.

BTC dropped 30% in the last twelve months. If anyone was actually relying on it we'd be in a hyperinflation spiral right now.

Okie dokie.

ETH has extreme problems to the point where it's worse than fiat, there's no good reason to be grouping it in with BTC. Even something like Dogecoin, which need I remind you was invented as a joke, has a stronger case for replacing fiat than ETH.

More btc is printed per year than eth.

BTC cannot be printed, it's a fixed supply.

Okay more BTC is mined per year than eth. It has higher inflation than eth.
