Every single time anyone mentions crypto always some idiot comes out of the woodwork and starts to have an argument about the definition of fiat.

So let's just say this right now and then move on shall we, If it's currency it's fiat, therefore crypto is also fiat

Fiat is government-issued currency with no underlying commodity and no upper limit. Crypto has no government backing and its issuance is determined by each cryptocurrency system (maintained by miner consensus). Some crypto has upper limits and others do not. I think having no supply limit is the distinction you're trying to define as fiat.
