Bitcoin is doing exactly as it was intended. Disrupting the ability of corrupt governments to print unlimited currency. If it wasn’t working, they wouldn’t be banning it.

There are plenty of other ways to store value that is neither governmental nor cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is supposed to be better than them because it can not be as easily stopped/banned. That last promise does not seem to hold (yet?)
But, they haven’t stopped printing have they?

Turkey will print money until they collapse, or other countries step in and “help them”. Bitcoin will not prevent that.

Venezuela has never printed more.

A more accurate statement would be stopping the government from being able to dilute your wealth by printing money.
