A lot of posters on the forum love to come up with figures showing how much the dollar (the American dollar, obviously) has depreciated over time, like 1 dollar in 1913 was worth 1000 dollars today (or whatever), with the general idea being that "the grass was greener and the light brighter back in the day"
However, what these forum members forget to account for is the rise in wages during the same time span. And the irony is that wages in the US have been outperforming inflation since WWII, barring a few rather short periods. It basically means that people become wealthier over years despite a declining dollar
So much for dollar inflation
That is a big fact to consider in when comparing crypto to fiat.
A lot of people in crypto community are assured that its only a matter of time when crypto will replace or at least take its place near the fiat in banking systems and etc.
However, the current system works for a very-very long time, yeah it has its own problems but due to ease of use and incredible prevalence of usd makes it way bigger than btc
