The obvious social costs are that slavery is legalized through debt and slavery anywhere in any society results in social stratification and internecine hostility, violence — mostly across class lines.

This generally also promotes misogyny and economic oppression of women (both by the economically privileged classes, and often as a sort of consolation prize or concession to the male laborers in the lowest classes).

Very interesting!

I would love to see also what a capital provisioning for tiny scale entrepreneurs would look like. Essentially the microcredit marketed goals (end poverty, bank the unbanked etc) under the #Bitcoin standard.
