Sure, but it's not stable or dependable. If one person goes bankrupt or dies or moves away, then everybody would go bankrupt one after the other. Compare to a scenario where everyone actually is at zero.

This is how banks, and by extension - entire economies, implode when an over leveraged something fails, taking down all the other over leveraged players dependent on their success in a series of dominoes.
