The fiat game has run for 500 years.  It has achieved a 51% success rate in my opinion, lifting people out of the dark ages by diluting the money supply and incentizing everyone with the proverbial carrot.

Vitalik has rendered Ethereum's value regardless of its human utility, to something like the Argentinian Peso, or the Chillean Escduo, or Romanian Lei.  Each Country had something in common.  A dictator or communist.

Vitalik has joined their ranks and will be remembered in Wikipedia for it sadly, the sad part is that he did do it with 'good intentions,' on the paved road to hell.
