Nobel prize is a fiat thing, just think about obama receiving it.

I agree it's highly politicised, especially the Peace one. President drone strike should not have gotten it.

Not sure what you mean by a fiat thing, in this context.

note that the Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel Prize are separate entity.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee selects the recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize each year on behalf of Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel's estate, based on instructions of Nobel's will.

by fiat thing I mean how it's financed. Remove fiat and nobel prizes won't exist anymore.

Oh i see. An endowment fund whose goal is to invest safely and beat inflation. Wall street games.

it takes a looooong time for conservatively-managed funds to fade away. hyperbitcoinisation doesn't "remove fiat", the process is much more complicated and any fund manager with half a brain survives the process without the fund vanishing, although there might obviously be some bad reports.

Maybe it takes a long time, maybe not. If goes enters hyperinflation it's done. We don't need hyperbitcoinisation to remove fiat, they're already doing a great job.
