ability *to* measure …
decentralized = trustless. why would you lend to someone you don’t trust?
Reputation can be established and credit worthiness, just like in the current credit market.

It’s a very mature market, but currently tainted with regulatory burden that could possibly be avoided to make it even more sophisticated.
