bitcoin is like physical money (fiat), and i want to know the difference between fiat and bitcoin
Bitcoin is a digital or more precisely crypto currency. It is not a physical asset like fiat.

Main differences
  • Bitcoin total supply is fixed (21M), fiat currency total supply is infinite, and hyper inflated.
  • Nobody can seize your Bitcoin in your non custodial wallet but they can seize your fiat in bank accounts, ie.
  • With Bitcoin, you have an asset. With fiat, you have liability, somewhat.

without fiat existence can bitcoin have a name?
It's just a name so Bitcoin is Bitcoin, with or without fiat. It's there because satoshi created a blockchain, and name its currency is Bitcoin.


after thinking all this  with seriousness i concluded that bitcoin and fiat works like brothers and sisters and no one can leave each other, so i want to know if any other digital currency can function without fiat?.
