Since @edicted started talking about the possibilities of collateralized loans here I always thought that we had a gold (bitcoin!) mine waiting to be discovered.

Since the HBD has been 'fixed' somewhat with the last hard fork, I see it as a great opportunity to use it for their first thought purpose: being a good 'short term' store of value.

Thank you. I'm feeling glad to know to count on you if this idea ever comes to fruitition. (As I said, it's still a proof of concept).

Once again, thanks! And also edicted for stirring my conscience before regarding hbd.
