In times where the global financial scenario is adapting to rapid changes, Elon Musk, the innovative CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, does not hesitate to express his controversial opinions. In the most recent, called the attention of enthusiasts and critics alike when he boldly declares that fiat currency is, in his words, a “scam”.
For those unfamiliar, fiat currency is traditional money, such as the dollar, euro, real and yen, backed not by tangible goods such as gold, but by the trust and authority of the government that issues it. This concept is not new, but Musk’s mention gives a new flavor to the debate.
The crypto sphere, especially staunch Bitcoin supporters, was quick to interpret Musk’s statement as a green light for cryptocurrencies. After all, Bitcoin, in addition to being decentralized, promises notable resistance to inflation, making it an attractive alternative to fiat currency.

What is certain is that the discussion about the coexistence of traditional and digital currencies is far from over.
The opinions of influential figures like Musk can carry considerable weight in the direction of financial trends.
