A well-known crypto industry practitioner once expressed an interesting viewpoint: rather than saying that fiat currency will be completely replaced by cryptocurrencies, it is more like Microsoft in the era of cloud computing — not extinction, but a gradual transformation. Against the backdrop of rising asset prices under inflationary pressure, the appeal of traditional fiat currencies is weakening, and more and more capital is seeking new outlets for hedging and appreciation. As an emerging asset class, cryptocurrencies are attracting capital that feels uneasy about the existing financial system. This is not a revolution, but a reallocation of flows. From a long-term perspective of global capital allocation, this shift seems to have quietly begun.

That Microsoft analogy was perfect; it's much more reliable than complete replacement. Basically, it's just capital moving around—who still plays when fiat currency depreciates?

Fiat currency doesn't die; it just lives in a different form. This analogy is quite clever.

Fiat currency isn't dead; it's just changing its way of life. This is much more reliable than any "revolution theory."

This analogy from Microsoft is quite fitting, but can fiat currency really last that long... With such crazy inflation, funds have already started to flee.

The analogy of Microsoft cloud computing is brilliant, indicating that people still need to look at long-term capital flows. On-chain data has been speaking for a while, but most people are still struggling with when it will go to zero... Inflation is sharpening this knife very quickly, and the window for building positions in this round won't be open for much longer.

Microsoft is a perfect analogy, but to be honest, it's still just capital flowing. Inflation kills fiat currency, and crypto becomes a lifeline.

Fiat currency won't die; it will just gradually become a supporting role, which is more heartbreaking than anything else.
