The tale of Procrustes, a figure from Greek mythology, tells of a rogue innkeeper who would stretch or cut his guests to fit his bed. How this metaphor applies to Bitcoin in relation to Fiat:

Bitcoin, like Procrustes' bed, forces the traditional financial system into an uncomfortable fit, stretching or cutting away at its inefficiencies.

Just as Procrustes made travelers fit his bed, Bitcoin imposes its own rules, challenging the size and shape of monetary policy.

Fiat currencies must adapt or be diminished by Bitcoin's fixed supply and decentralized nature, exposing the flaws in endless money printing.

The rigidity of Bitcoin will reshape the global economy for the better. But this process might not be without pain.
