Fiat currencies (“Regular Money” or Government-printed Money), which are not backed by physical commodities like gold or silver but by government decree, have several notable problems:

1. Inflation

2. Hyperinflation

3. Currency Devaluation

4. Lack of Intrinsic Value

5. Political Manipulation

6. Dependence on Monetary Policy

7. Global Vulnerability

8. Counterfeiting

9. Wealth Redistribution

While fiat currencies offer advantages like flexibility in monetary policy to manage economic cycles, these problems highlight the challenges in maintaining their value and stability over time. This has led to ongoing debates about alternatives like cryptocurrencies or a return to some form of commodity-backed currency.

Bitcoin was designed to address several of the weaknesses inherent in fiat currencies. Here are some key features of Bitcoin that attempt to mitigate these issues:

1. Decentralization

2. Fixed Supply

3. Transparency and Immutability

4. Programmable Scarcity and Monetary Policy

5. Security through Cryptography

6. Global Accessibility and Anonymity (to a degree)

7. Resistance to Censorship

8. No Need for Trust in Third Parties
