Would you like to take out fixed interest rate loan, payed out over the next 5 years, which is priced and scheduled in BTC? Because it sounds like an absolute horror show for every party in the transaction to me.

Unless you can make long-term transactions and payment schedules with it, then its not a good currency.

In crypto you can make smart contracts based on stable coins that emulate a fixed interest loan.
