So maybe I don't understand this, but one of the purported advantages of cryptocurrencies is that the supply cannot be expanded by loose credit.

Thus it is seemingly impossible (to me at least) for a bank to for a bank to extend credit.

Even if the supply of the currency can't be expanded, can't credit still be issued from the supply of currency that the lender has?
