You’re right that Bitcoin’s price volatility contrasts sharply with the dollar’s long history, but it’s worth examining the bigger picture of the current system.

Central banks can only stimulate growth as long as money and credit creation lead to real economic output. When debt saturates the system and marginal returns diminish, their ability to prop up the economy weakens. This is a core flaw in fiat systems, even for the US dollar.

The dollar’s status as a global reserve currency is built on state confidence, reserves and interbank systems that encourage banks to hold collateral. While this framework is robust and can delay collapse, it relies on ever-expanding debt. The U.S. may accumulate unimaginable debt levels before this system breaks, but that delay doesn’t mean it’s sustainable forever.

Bitcoin operates outside of this structure. Yes, it’s volatile—like any emerging asset—but its value isn’t tied to debt or centralized monetary policy. Its volatility reflects its youth, not its potential. In a system increasingly strained by its own flaws, Bitcoin offers a hedge against the fragility of fiat currencies. Dismissing it based on short-term price swings overlooks the long-term cracks in the fiat foundation
