«... No currency, in particular no fiat currency, has survived the test of time over the very long term.»

That’s why bitcoin has a cap of 21 million, as a way to prevent to prevent devaluation. The cap is actually going to have to opposite effect (as long as bitcoin keeps becoming more adopted): as time goes by, the value keeps increasing as it is a scarce good.

«To successfully manage wealth over the long term, we need to think deeply about the economic function of money, particularly as a store of value but also as a medium of payment and a unit of account. We also need to adopt a more holistic approach to risk, heeding the lessons of economic history: No currency, in particular no fiat currency, has survived the test of time over the very long term.»
