How is fiat created? Why is it debt-based? How does it create inflation? How do banks, central banks and world governments manipulate all this?
How should one start in explanation of all the procedures in these, what i will recommend here is two, if you think you're not ok with the way we all depends on the use of a centralized currency under fiat government controlled financial economy, then the best alternative is bitcoin because the entire process on printing the fiat currency and the likes were not perfect enough to stop the effect of inflation over the economy, while the masses were being affected in this.
Why was the gold standard better, and what could happen under a bitcoin standard?
Gold had a preferred dominance then over many currencies and people realized it as a global most acceptable physical asset in which is always profitable, that was before the introduction of bitcoin, but as for now, bitcoin has taken over all from every other profitable investment asset including gold and dollar which centralized while bitcoin remained decentralized and most preferred option on this.
