Sorry for the half hour video, this man explains it better than I can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hFdyFBZVRw basically, a promise to pay is not payment

I understand that a promise to pay is not payment, but you can sell me a car in exchange for a debt that someone owes me. Isn't that possible?

you'll "buy" only user rights, not the controlling interest. the car is in a trust

I must not be understanding something. Doesn't the car become mine, and with it the rights to do whatever I want? An example:
  • Lux has a car for sale;
  • 0xbitcoiner wants to buy the car from lux;
  • anon has a debt with 0xbitcoiner;
  • Lux agrees to take anon's debt;
  • 0xbitcoiner takes the car;
this isn't possible? sorry for being so insistent!

anon has a debt with 0xbitcoiner; Lux agrees to take anon's debt;
I become anon's best friend, couz I closed his debt, and anon doesn't have a signed contract with me :)
