Do you not get what I mean? How do you differentiate then an individual that has been canonised or not if you use the same term?

The value isn’t the promise itself, but the probability that the promise is sound and will be kept. There is always a risk that it won’t be paid back.
For me to not have capital, and then to gain access to capital that I didn’t save, is very valuable. It saves me time. In fact, I’m willing to pay a certain amount for the time it saved me (interest). If I don’t repay that loan, I suffer by having to pay much more for the same service in the future. People won’t lend as cheaply as the risk increases.
Just because Bitcoin has a hard cap does not mean Bitcoin cannot be exchanged over time between parties who make promises to each other. Of course there will be bankruptcy and jubilees, it’s a part of life, and it appears throughout the Bible.
Matthew 25:27 (NIV)
“You should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.”
The “extra” is made through the entrepreneurial genius of the borrower. He uses the capital and his skill to earn more than he borrowed. Even if the supply is capped, this can still occur.
Will more defaults occur? Of course. Will there be even a fraction as much debt in the world? No, much less, due to the nature of the money. But credit markets will still exist.
I still don’t see how credit distorts markets if the source of the money comes from saving, rather than the creation of new money through debt. If anything, it helps the market self-regulate and find the true market interest rate

Wow. The creation and maintenance of the nation state exists so credit can expand and sustain itself.
Does usury imply violence, in the way it functions today? Is interest moral if non payment leads only to reputational damage, with no coercion?
I know this has been debated for millennia, but making a credit market illegal is coercion in itself and there will always be demand for credit.

Yeah, of course, it’s a work in progress but far from impossible to be realised.
We will still differ in our preferences on what is just or not (hopefully on the marginal topics), therefore I believe there will be, just like today a variance in the laws for each society, where if you want those laws to be enforced for you, you contribute to the specialist in law enforcement in your area. Due to the inability of monopolising money creation, there will be fierce economic entrepreneurial competition, only leaving the best.
Entities will be way better at what they do, we will be able to develop much more complex systems that rely on prices which are based on sats, being incorruptible.
I believe each individual will be able to delve much deeper into who they are and express their essence through their work, whatever form that takes.
Compassion will be much more prevalent, and ultimately we will be much more present beings, being able to come closer to God.
