> cryptocurrency fails to address any of the concerns with fiat

This comment coming from a libertarian is a head-scratcher.

The biggest concern about fiat currencies from a libertarian perspective is that the government can inflate the currency at will with no real transparency possible.

Crypto generally eliminates this concern, either by having a fixed quantity of coins or a known inflation amount, and basically perfect transparency being possible through looking at the blockchain.
