Real bills are created in exchange for real goods entering the supply chain. They are backed by proof of work: resources and energy spent for producing these goods.<br/><br/>This first kind is “self-liquidating”. When the buyer re-sells the goods he receives money: coin or credit. <br/><br/>2. Financial bills just document a claim to future money.<br/><br/>The second kind is speculative. There is nothing produced yet.

The Deflation Argument<br/>2. The Centralisation Argument<br/>3. The Equity vs. Debt Argument<br/>4. The Store of Value Argument<br/><br/>1. The Deflation Argument<br/><br/>Critics of an elastic supply often conflate falling prices driven by technological progress with destructive monetary deflation. <br/><br/>While falling prices due to productivity are indeed a positive sign, true monetary deflation, a scarcity of media of exchange, is catastrophic.<br/><br/>When businesses face a liquidity crisis, trade and industry grind to a halt, and goods rot on the fields and on inventory because there is no media to facilitate their exchange.<br/><br/>Deflation is not an aggregate problem, it is the individual business problem of not finding liquidity when and where it is needed. <br/><br/>2. The Centralisation Argument<br/><br/>The concern that credit money introduces centralisation is mitigated by fundamental design. The Bitcredit Protocol is entirely open-source, permissionless, and peer-to-peer.<br/><br/>Anyone can download the software to issue electronic bills of exchange (e-bills) or spin up a &#34;Wildcat&#34; mint to compete in a free market for liquidity.<br/><br/>Because the system relies on non-custodial e-cash and mathematically verifiable proof of real value, it prevents the state from monopolising or co-opting the credit system.<br/><br/>Therefore, it presents no more centralisation risk than Bitcoin’s own network of nodes, miners, and institutional holders.<br/><br/>3. The Equity vs. Debt Argument<br/><br/>The idea that the economy can run smoothly on equity alone ignores the fundamental mechanics of global trade.<br/><br/>There is always a time gap between planting crops or manufacturing goods and selling them to the final consumer.<br/><br/>Bills of exchange represent debt tied to actual &#34;proof of work&#34; in the real economy, goods already produced that serve as backing for self-liquidating credit.<br/><br/>Bills are therefore indispensable for providing the working capital that businesses need to survive and scale.<br/><br/>4. The Store of Value Argument<br/><br/>If Bitcoin remains merely a store of value or a &#34;pristine collateral&#34; for fiat loans, it fails to achieve its true potential.<br/><br/>Without a credit money layer, businesses cannot run their daily operations on Bitcoin, and the global economy remains trapped in the fiat system.<br/><br/>This forces society to continue suffering from fiat&#39;s inherent flaws: inflation, boom-and-bust cycles, misallocation of capital, and the looming dystopian threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).<br/><br/>Bitcoin must evolve into a functional currency to sever the world&#39;s reliance on fiat on-ramps and off-ramps.<br/><br/>The Case for A Bitcoin Currency Layer<br/><br/>A fixed base money (like physical gold or base-layer Bitcoin) is essential for monetary stability, but it must be paired with an elastic currency supply to grease the wheels of commerce.<br/><br/>Without an instrument like Bitcredit to bridge the gap between Bitcoin&#39;s rigid base layer and the real world&#39;s fluctuating demand for liquidity, Bitcoin adoption by businesses is impossible.<br/><br/>Therefore, decentralised, supply chain-backed credit money is not a compromise of Bitcoin&#39;s principles, but an economic necessity for it to succeed globally as a medium of exchange. 2026-04-26T13:22:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszlq6x79xygg48k5yxwe5tlzdgts0g8h0jl2lzggqagl4c97u957gzyr8kfjqumtenv2zdm4yhad9pwsh8thr0yfvckzahn9e39pe9vclk7s92qch Bitcredit Protocol W17 progress: <br/><br/>- Open sourced majority of projects Github repositories in preparation for beta<br/><br/>- Production cluster setup for high availability beta<br/><br/>- Internal iOS TestFlight finally secured, AppStore / PlayStore releases now feasible<br/><br/>- Dynamic QR codes for large eCash tokens <br/><br/>- Efficient mint risk rating module spec progressing<br/>#Bitcoin #TradeFinance #FinTech 2026-04-26T10:36:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfptvxqpz4tde3rujla8ndjeqrqydtn478jftl70tdqysmveneq7czyr8kfjqumtenv2zdm4yhad9pwsh8thr0yfvckzahn9e39pe9vclk7l8h3qg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs99t6r7utdfzmwx3aenddc829ds3n6l546qwfwzr3q0y3fd0y47tgrqps43'>nevent1q…ps43</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Looks good.

Only temporary, production-tied expansion that contracts naturally with the flow of trade. <br/><br/>This revives time-proven private bills of exchange on Bitcoin’s unstoppable monetary rails, making Bitcoin usable as everyday money for trade, import/export, and working capital, initially in high-inflation, underbanked or bankless zones.<br/><br/>Unlike collateralised loans (fiat traps) or stablecoins (fiat shadows), Bitcredit Protocol enables competitive Wildcat mints to create genuine Bitcoin-denominated M1 currency. <br/><br/>It lives inside the robust Bitcoin economy: market-set competitive minting fees, non-custodial. Austrian-inspired free-banking discipline, and Nostr-powered censorship resistance. <br/><br/>Bitcoin volatility dampens as real production scales a breathing credit superstructure, purchasing power stabilizes then gently rises with productivity growth. <br/><br/>It is not another DeFi wrapper, no shitcoin but the missing layer for Bitcoin to function as sound, sovereign money for the real economy. <br/><br/>It proudly follows the Bitcoin Ethos:<br/><br/>Free markets, free software, permissionless, private, and open source. <br/>#Bitcoin #FreeMinting #Bitcredit 2026-02-07T18:51:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf92sxnx03ycahzydsn89esnegdwu02pz2jura3r7yvk5w58t4ddgzyr8kfjqumtenv2zdm4yhad9pwsh8thr0yfvckzahn9e39pe9vclk7zs6lpx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx7y0m5hwtf9xprhejay64yegerpql69gxzwgdjkwzhf0xlxh72dcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgplv36k'>nevent1q…v36k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#1.<br/>„Austrian economists theorize but cannot build.“<br/>Needs nuance.

The goods sold by one business to another represent a real saving. <br/>2. These goods serve for production, not consumption.<br/>3. The bill of exchange represents their value in trade.<br/>4. Currency minted from such a bill is backed by this value. <br/><br/>b). Circulation<br/>5. Companies can pay workers and suppliers with such currency.<br/>6. People and businesses then buy goods with currency.<br/>7. Currency ultimately pays for the issued bills of exchange.<br/><br/>c. Redemption.<br/>8. When the bill is redeemed in Bitcoin, both the bill and its minted currency are extinguished. <br/>9. Bitcoin passes to another hand, but the quantity of Bitcoin stays the same. <br/>10.

Credits redeem at maturity in actual Bitcoin on mainchain. <br/><br/>Functionally for payments, for earning and spending, these credits are as good as (digital) gold, as Bitcoin. <br/><br/>Even better in some ways: faster than Lightning, offers pretty good privacy, and costs zero transaction fees. <br/><br/>Stability for Bitcoin<br/>===============<br/><br/>As more trade and production happens this way, the effective money supply auto-adjusts to match the quantity of money needed. <br/><br/>This dampens volatility, a growing credit superstructure makes Bitcoin&#39;s exchange value, its purchasing power, more and more stable. <br/><br/>The Bitcoin Difference<br/>==================<br/><br/>Physical gold and pre-fiat banknotes worked historically in this natural, free market fashion…<br/><br/>… before central banks took over and captured gold politically for national strategic gold reserves. <br/><br/>The bad ending for gold is history. Non-custodial Bitcoin can maybe avoid this fate. 2026-02-01T23:19:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs03367hwh93avyte9860y3c96nmqw0xya3zp7uyjdx4sd9jxrwcmqzyr8kfjqumtenv2zdm4yhad9pwsh8thr0yfvckzahn9e39pe9vclk7u7mm3u Millions of small farmers in developing countries are not poor because they lack skill or demand.<br/><br/>They are poor because the fiat system blocks them from turning their produce into liquidity, locking up their capital.<br/><br/>#Bitcoin can fix this with Bitcredit Protocol.<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://blossom.primal.net/440d7e742ba2a04ef441a1cecd70ad2afc027f6145ef68abff988c52f36f4ca9.mp4"></video> 2026-01-26T22:31:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszmmeqeplmcrvygee0l4s3vhpznpkg2dpc4cdxx060p9a2s95fj7qzyr8kfjqumtenv2zdm4yhad9pwsh8thr0yfvckzahn9e39pe9vclk7njul4m Week 4/2026 Update:<br/><br/>🥳 Hooray! 🥳<br/><br/>Bitcredit core team has finished raw MVP versions of all three elements needed for the Bitcredit Protocol stack: <br/>– eBills<br/>– Wildcat Mint (and dashboard)<br/>– Minibill Wallet<br/><br/>Further progress:<br/>- Validated main protocol flows<br/>– Successfully tested online and offline Wildcat intermint exchange on Bitcoin Testnet3<br/>– Wallet now supports create/restore, payment requests, QR payments, and redemption<br/>– Improved Wildcat dashboard consistency: e-bill details and auto-update behaviour 2026-01-23T16:35:17Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdlmerkch6qpuqf70tqv9fx4hcz42hxzfwy9smwfz3th362e0pfdczyr8kfjqumtenv2zdm4yhad9pwsh8thr0yfvckzahn9e39pe9vclk79kc3yg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs80jdhpcvkywzyutmmy5l0md8enwquuwgdlss8jvnc6xukqmn934qpndmhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0y5erqamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skuep0y5erqffjxpshvct5v9ez2v3swaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hj2v3sy5erqctkv96xzu39xgc8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetjv4kxz7fwvdhk6te9xgc8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7ffjxpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9ux5qay7'>nevent1q…qay7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sure, always verify. <br/>Here is a recent Podcast talking about why Bitcoin credit money is needed (BTW; not just credit!

Without access to bank accounts, nobody can “buy bitcoin”. This is a crucial problem, because in a fiat crisis is the best moment to switch to Bitcoin.<br/><br/>So here is the solution:<br/><br/>Even in a crisis, businesses still have access to their goods for sale, they actually must sell them before they spoil. <br/><br/>By selling on credit, they can create raw credit money, bills of exchange, which the Bitcredit Network of independent Wildcats can mint into fungible, divisible, and secure Bitcoin credits. Everyday people, workers, can get paid and can spend, the switch to Bitcoin is possible.<br/><br/>This is how we can kickstart Bitcoin economy in a fiat crisis.<blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqszdraelv3a59eaznq36sqf0jdwpx0e8zach6w3t9fkstxm8tc59dcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgcechht" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…chht</a></span> </div> Sound money advocates assume you need coin before commerce.
