Why would anyone lend money then? What is the incentive? Where would the government get money to lend? Steal from the people?
I smell fiat mindset around...
Why would anyone lend money then? What is the incentive?
Maybe I'm too naive... what about doing it for the common good? It's worth to consider, if thou are able to afford 10% for “investment” and willing to lose it, why not place 0.1% for those in need? it would be a nice karma upgrade!

That's what Govs are currently doing, or am I wrong?

Yes…isn’t that what’s wrong with the world? Rampant theft by the government via taxes and inflation?
YOU are stuck in a fiat paradigm. It’s fine to be charitable, but government isn’t required nor is it desirable.
People can do what they want, but 0 interest loans don’t make any sense using real money. “For the greater good” is Marxist poison and has killed 100 million people and counting….no thank you. The individual is the only entity that can have freedom, the only thing that can possess rights is an individual person, not a collective.

You maybe right, I’m stuck in a fiat mindset, like the majority I assume. I also assume that a fiat, capitalistic mindset could be applied to Bitcoin. I agree in the fact that we don't need a government and everyone should be responsible for her/himself and her/his actions. Capitalistic wars kill millions of people too, interests and conquest of what we want to believe it’s ours. Do we really own things, or are indeed just the temporary carers of whatever will be around for longer than our existence. I’m trying to look at things outside these constrains and just wonder how we can contribute to a world where property it’s just another belief of the past. If we took and use just what we need to live a fulfilling life to share the experience each one of us live, it will probably be a better world. But since we always prioritise our ego, avarice and contempt… well, that’s what we are experiencing since few millennia look’s like. In the other side, this is the result of millennia of evolution, so let’s assume it’s the best we could have done for now based on common knowledge we have.
