For me, Fiat money and BTC represent money, and I do not see any reason to conform them and say which is better and which is not, like gold are different representations of money, which, for me, all are welcome. Money in the bank cannot give better benefits than BTC, BTC gives long-term profits, while long-term money in a bank does not give profits even 24% per year, on the other hand, BTC profits can be higher than 100% same if the movement occurs.
Each currency serves a unique purpose in life. We cannot say one will beat the other, since they're two completely different things. While Bitcoin cannot be controlled or manipulated by anyone, it lacks behind Fiat in terms of mainstream adoption. Banks are still in play simply because governments patronize them every step of the way. In the future, CBDCs will replace paper money, greatly solidifying banks' position in the mainstream economy. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will remain as alternatives for those seeking an "exit route" from the banking system.
I'd agree with the OP about Bitcoin being more real than money in the bank. It cannot be debased or created out of thin air, unlike Fiat. Governments have the power to print more money in order to manipulate the economy to their own will. Most people don't understand this, as they're only looking into Bitcoin as an investment (not a currency). At least, we have a life-changing decentralized cryptocurrency. As long as decentralization prevails, nothing else matters. Just my thoughts
