I'm reading about all this cryptocurrency for a little while now (hard not to its all over and everywhere) and I got some questions that I could not find a satisfying answer.

1. There is no question about Fiat money (whatever it is $, £ or euro.) thats its losing it's value, so the question is. If it got no value what value Bitcoin have then ? ( i will use bitcoin for must common crypto but thinking of any). Can't get my head over it.

2.If you imagine in let's say 20 years FIAT goes to CRYPTO all the way. You want to buy a car worth $5000 but paying in Crypto, how much would you pay ? if $ got no value.

Bitcoin will be worth as much as Bitcoin will be worth no matter how much fiat is worth now or then.  To buy car you will pay as much Bitcoin as seller will want. You will agree with that or not and go buy car somewhere else.  Loaf of bread will be worth as much as now 10 years from now. Ounce of gold also. Gold stores value well. 2000 years ago you were able to buy a armour with ounce of gold. 100 years ago you were able to buy a business suit with ounce of gold. Today you can buy a designer outfit with ounce of gold.
