As what we have witnessed, Bitcoin is not an antibiotic inflation prospect. We've seen it grow high and now it goes back to what it has been known. I can't say it can help lessen the inflation of a country but atleast it can help the people have other option for a business evolution.
It depends on what time frame you are talking about. People who bought BTC before August 2017 are still in profit. The highest price for 1 Bitcoin before Aug 2017 was $2,705 and it's $3,780 today. 40% rise for your investment in 19 months is still a good achievement. And I think it's almost certain that in 19 months from now Bitcoin price will be much more than just 40% higher. Of course I can be wrong. I know that I can lose with pocket Aces preflop. But my point is that BTC is like AA; USD, CHF and EUR are like KK; GBP is like QQ etc. Anything can happen, but normally Bitcoin has all the chances to perform better than others.
