May be because my information sphere is biased one way or another (and obviously dominated by English sources).
But, since the current administration was elected, does anyone feel (quite ironically), that Americans as a whole are more fiat sceptic than most other countries, including Europe and third world?
I mean, pretty much, Americans are the only one talking about or taking Bitcoin seriously as a sovereign money. In most other nations, barely anyone knows or cares.
And then, even in places suffering from high enough inflation for people to raise some questions about the worth of their money, the default choice is to hoard/move towards US dollar, ironically.
Meanwhile Americans enjoy the global reserve currency status, and yet Americans themselves seem more sceptical about the concept of Fiat itself.
Interesting times.
I agree Americans are likely to take things like monetary debasement seriously enough to find a "fix".

Is it perhaps the case that in the US, we have (still, a bit more than other places) more freedom of speech? Substack, etc?
Interest and adoption definitely seems higher here.

I can't tell you about the Americans, but I can tell you about the Brazilians. Here everyone believes in Fiat, to everyone I've ever spoken to or seen speak about bitcoin the reaction has more or less always been the same, disbelief, common myths, “it's not based on anything”, the same old idiocy. That's why I stopped focusing early on on spreading the word among ordinary people and am focusing on traders, rarely and when I have an opening.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too seems like Americans are way more vocal about fiat criticism, even while benefiting most from it. Could be that having more financial privilege gives them the space to question the system more openly.
