That’s true, but the amount of discounting goes up with the years, in the limit to 100%.

If I borrow $100B and promise to return it in 50 years time, you likely would want $200B back, even if you were 100% sure I would pay it back.

Not necessarily! German government debts, even the long 10 year ones, have ventured into negative interest area.
