Interest rates would be lower with bitcoin. Again, consider this from the no-arbitrage angle. If interest rates weren’t correspondingly lower for loans denominated in deflationary assets, there would be an obvious and low-overhead arbitrage opportunity. So debtors don’t actually gain anything unless the loan is fixed-rate and the inflation rate increases.
