 All I mean is, returns is something innate to fiat. With bitcoin the NGU is built into the money so you don't need to think about it so much.

 If you don't seek returns with fiat you will get burned I mean, Bitcoin fixes this.

 It doesn't, as you have to consume your Bitcoin, if you do not receive returns on it.

Unless you're hodling fiat, of course, but I am not doing that.

 Returns is something innate to capitalism. You put your own labour and/or property (intellectual property, money, durable goods, land, etc.) at risk, through use of it, in the hopes of receiving some positive return.

Lending money at interest, in order to increase the total purchasing power in line with inflation, is fiat.
