The primary complaint about the 2008 (and the entire move to fiat) is (1) the government gets to print money at its own whim, deflating everyone's hard work. (2) fiat is inherently based on usury, which billions of people find appalling and abhorrent. What happened in 2008 was the natural outcome of such a system, and it will continue to happen if things are not fixed.
