No amount of debate over the validity of the 2008-2009 financial crisis and resolution makes bitcoin any less of a fiat currency.

Fiat means by decree, or order. Typically we mean by government when we use this word.

Essentially, the government creates it by law and then forces you to use it.

I'm struggling to see how this applies to bitcoin.

Let me make it easy: I disagree with everything you posted.
