I’m sure it would change lending. And while the underlying bitcoin supply couldn’t be increased, if these banks issued their own currency backed by Bitcoin, which is what Hal suggested in that post, and he even went so far as to say some could be fractional reserve, then they could inflate the supply of that currency with which to to pay the interest on Bitcoin deposits. To be clear, I’m not advocating in favor of such a system as it feels to me like a stepping stone right back to where we are now with the fiat system. But I think the fact that so many bitcoiners are emotionally charged right now over what Saylor is suggesting, and yet here is Hal discussing it within a year of Bitcoin’s creation, it at least needs to be brought up and discussed intelligently rather than based purely on emotion.
