Fiat Currency

Bitcoin and gold are attracting renewed attention as investors weigh the implications of a record U.S. debt burden and potential dollar debasement. BTC is trading just above $65,000 while ether’s relative strength is fueling talk of a broader altcoin rotation.

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas says bitcoin has outperformed real estate and protects wealth better than fiat currencies. He also says he urged his wife to mortgage her house to buy the cryptocurrency.
