> The asset that is not stable is the fiat currency because it's being depreciated all the time.

Checking accounts (M1) have grown by (only) 8%/year over the past 2 years.

Savings accounts (M2) have grown by (only) 6%/year over the past 2 years.

Physical cash in circulation has grown by (only) 5%/year over the past 2 years.

Even if we value bitcoin today only by it's future 0% emission rate starting at around the year 2036, bitcoin shouldn't have been rising more than 7 or 8% per year relative to the US Dollar. Anymore is unlikely to be sustainable. Am I missing anything?
