To fight against the control of USD thus create an anchor for people all around the global, or to make transactions apparent in cyber world, Bitcoin was coined by Satoshi(the second one is more valid).
Will the day come when everyone uses Bitcoin in daily payment(supposing new tech is applied to avoid high gas fee) and thus fiat gets abandoned? Or it won't because the amount of Bitcoin is set and all Bitcin is practically manipulated by capitalists...
Obviously , it's nearly impossible for Bitcoin to realize permant and global circulation due to its high price and scarcity, which renders it harder to take the place of fiat but it sounds that ETH is likely to be an anchor and a tool for daily use alike, surpassing BTC is feasible.
They say, if a country is at war or in upheaval, buying Bitcoin is not wise for its high volatility and USD is a better choice.
How do you think Smiley

They will exist side by side.  The main reason it won't flip fiat is because national governets will never want to give up complete control of their financial system.  They will exist in parallel.  Eventually each will have its niche, crypto is perfect for micropayments, fiat still good for day to day transactions.
This is true, one clear example of this is Zimbabwe, after the disaster their fiat currency became and after other foreign currencies became the money people used on their everyday transactions the government tried to impose once again their currency causing yet another crisis, so even if bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could deliver a knockout blow to fiat currencies and destroyed them in the process governments will at a later time try to reintroduce their fiat currencies as a great deal of their power derives from them.
