I agree with both your points but just want to posit a slight counter. There's also the "fact" that there are maybe more than a dozen people or so that in one method or another could demolish USD or EUR or whatever fiat currency, as well. Couple that with the fact that over time, the number of such influencers over Bitcoin should, as it has historicallly, decrease faster than the same number for fiat currencies.
Just saying that at least partially explains the exuberance with which people are participating in the Bitcoin experiment.

A dozen people at the FED or executive shouldn’t be able to ruin the dollar at least in any comparison to how fast a niche crypto commodity could be ruined. That said... we went through at least three rounds of QE directed by the last administration. So, maybe you’re right.
