Bitcredit Protocol on Nostr: This: ๐Ÿ‘‡ ...

This: ๐Ÿ‘‡
In a realistic #bitcoin future, there exist only two kinds of money:

1. Bitcoin base money (BTC, M0)
2. Bitcoin credit money (Bitcredit, M1)

Credit money may only be created if itโ€™s backed by real goods entering the supply chain. Thatโ€™s what makes it honest.

Example:
1. A farmer wants new machinery.
2. He finds a bank (ultimately private savers) willing to lend Bitcoin.
3. The deal: โ€œ10 BTC now, pay back 12 BTC in 5 years.โ€
4. The extra 2 BTC cover costs, risk, and profit.
5. If the farmer fails โ†’ the bank takes the loss.

No bailouts. No money printing.

Clear enough?

PS: At 12 for 10 the bank is fine if 1 in 5 loans went bad, with a total loss. Unlikely though. With sound banking practice loans are backed by real collateral.

PS: And no state guarantees โ€” those breed inflation.
