Why would Bitcoin, a base layer, globally neutral, want to promote debt and borrowing?

That would be choosing those today over those tomorrow, as your original post says. That is choosing the young, who are investing instead of saving like the old. That is choosing government and corporate and bank interests over the interests of the individuals of the world.

1. Bitcoin exists because if social consensus - people have to choose neutral money over gov money and they will do so if it fits their ideals.

2. Debt is always going to exist in a functioning society, neutral money ensures that no group has unfair access to debt creation via monetary tools.

3. Bitcoin is inflationary and will be inflationary for the next century. Does that mean it is promoting debt?
