BIS data shows fiat currencies last a median 33 years, and Bitcoin fans noticed

BIS research finds that fiat currencies have a median lifespan of just 33 years, with roughly 70% of 568 currencies studied since 1850 eventually discontinued, giving Bitcoin advocates a new argument about fiat currency durability. However, the BIS does not connect this research to Bitcoin and separately argues that Bitcoin lacks the central-bank backing and credit elasticity needed to function as money at scale. The contrasting findings could intensify debate over fiat currency sustainability and Bitcoin's long-term role as an alternative monetary asset, despite the BIS's institutional skepticism.
