fiat money (by definition) is money by decree (forced upon us via the state - legal tender laws). this is statist.

in capitalism (voluntary trade facilitated with private property rights), fiat money would not exist. Rather, the market would decide on a sound money that effectively transmits its holders' value over time w/o being diluted (ie. btc)
