I think those people that holds their money in fiat and saves it for the best use that they can are aware of the inflation that lessens the purchasing power of their fiat. But, we don't know if they have some plans of spending it to any asset that they have in their minds. For them, they know that cash is king and that's why they are keepin as much stack in cash that they can. Because if they want to purchase some stocks or even crypto, they have fiat ready for it to be done. There's so much that they can do with it but for me, I like to have balanced portfolio. Have some cash and crypto too.
No matter any future plans that anybody has for their money, considering the way inflation is hitting hard on the Fiat now, it will not be wise to stack a lot of money in Fiats because no value will be added in the long run. However, keeping a balance between Fiats and Crypto is a good idea but for me i would like to keep most of my money in bitcoins, like about 3/4 of my money while the remaining part will be in Fiats for urgent needs and getting some stuffs but since i have known the potential value of the amount i kept in bitcoins, it will remain there in the long run.
That is true, no value will be added except the little interest that the banks will credit the owner which is not even enough to cover the cost of the inflation. I think if you're a family man, you'll understand why others are having it balanced but there is also nothing wrong for both, someone who's going to put it mostly in crypto, half or even 3/4 as you have said and someone who's balancing things and as well as those that chose to keep in cash. Those who have most it in cash understands what they do because they don't want to take further risk.
The interest rates are not even 1 tenth of the real inflation rate. The manipulated numbers don't tell the real story, many everyday purchases have doubled in price in the last few years. When making the inflation data they always look at all possible items to find any that have gone down in price and include them this time, so that it lowers the calculation and the final number. Fiat is a losing battle, keeping money locked in a bank is one of the worst things that one can do with it.
