They do not even slightly. Printing fist is a systemic and permanent imbalance in the game rules. Being early in bitcoin was not only hard af, and not only did almost nobody have the foresight and conviction to hold since then, but it’s no more an advantage than the person who buys Apple when it’s still a massive risk and just an idea. There’s nothing remotely unfair about it and it cannot be made more fair.

It’s the difference between someone who starts a board game and gets pints, before others even come to play the game, while fiat is simply that some people can issue themselves as many points as they like, whenever they like, and buy or own anything they want in the game.

If you think those two things are even remotely the same, you’ve made a very serious error in judgement, imo.
