Putting your bitcoin to work...I definitely believe credit and debt are productive parts if the economy, so loaning out bitcoin (buying old school bitcoin bonds) certainly makes sense...but I am pretty sure the value of my dollars isn't going to go up. If I loan out my bitcoin and bitcoin's price jumps, I now have a lot more on the line (assuming the loan is denominated in Bitcoin).
One thing I should have mentioned is that in the BPI proposal, earnings from bitbond appreciation is supposed to be tax free.
Yeah I actually think it is a big risk for both parties, and I wouldn't want to participate in any such trade. But figuring out how to make credit and debt work in a bitcoin standard is gonna be important, if we want the world to move more towards using bitcoin as the standard monetary unit
