Saying Bitcoin is "running away from the problem" is misunderstanding the core issue. The current problem is the money.
Inflation, endless debt ceilings, and currency devaluation are features of a broken fiat system designed to fail slowly over time. The U.S. dollar, like every fiat currency before it, is being debased to keep an unsustainable system on life support — and that hurts savers and the poor the most.
Bitcoin isn't a quick fix or a government policy. It's a parallel system — one that removes the need to trust central bankers or politicians (left or right) to do the right thing. It has a fixed supply. It's decentralized. It can't be printed into oblivion.
Sure, Bitcoin is volatile in the short term — just like any early, disruptive technology. But volatility doesn't mean failure. It means it's not yet fully adopted.
The idea that Bitcoin has to "save entire countries" or "stop inflation overnight" is a straw man. It doesn't need to do that. It just needs to offer people a way to opt out — to store value in something that isn’t tied to political cycles, bailouts, or debt monetization.
Bitcoin isn't a silver bullet. It's insurance against the failure of trust in money. And historically, that trust always fails. If you're holding only fiat in that moment, you're the one running toward the fire, not away from it.
