> Bitcoin made the term fiat popular.

I don't think this is true, and I also provided a link to Google Trends proving this is not true (at least in terms of "Google Popularity"). Do you have any evidence that Bitcoin made that term popular?

"Fiat" does not mean "real-world money" as any money you consider "real" is "real". "Fiat" refers to money not backed by something physical, and it is not a new term that appeared from the cryptocurrency space (as many believe).

The search trend, https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Fiat%20M..., seems to be relative stable since start of collecting trend data (2004), with slightly increasing volume as we get closer to today, but generally stable.
