Best counterarguments available to The Fiat Standard and The Bitcoin Standard?

I'm not sure how exactly I began down this bitcoin/Austrian economics rabbit hole, but about a week ago it led me to two fantastic, yet very distressing books, The Fiat Standard and The Bitcoin Standard, both written by Saifedean Ammous. I'm kind of assuming that these books are well known amongst the bitcoin community - I apologize if that's not actually the case - the gist is basically fiat money = trash, bitcoin = "hard" money = good, although it obviously goes into a lot more depth than that. Frankly, I have felt very out of my depth reading these books and trying to think about economics this past week or so. I am able to read the arguments presented and find them compelling and see the logic in them but I am left somewhat frazzled by them, like I don't know what to make of them. Ammous does a good job of putting things simply for a bitcoin neophyte like myself but for some reason, I still struggle to fully comprehend everything. I find nothing wrong with Ammous' core arguments and honestly I'm kind of alarmed by that. Is this everyone's response to reading these books? What do mainstream economists who read them have to say about them? For me to be like, okay he's right and go about my life, I have to think pretty much everyone in government is clueless. Which isn't that crazy I suppose but I still feel a need to seek out some sort of counterargument to these books before I make that conclusion.

Anyways, I've been looking, with not much success, for some sort of response from the "mainstream" POV to The Fiat Standard and The Bitcoin Standard, preferably one presenting counterarguments to Ammous' various points. Any suggestions?
