Maybe people are already doing that using some kind of smart contract.

@lain There is crypto borrowing where people stake collateral (crypto) and then borrow (typically USD-tokens) against it. In theory if the price of crypto went down hard enough, you could end up under-water in which case it is effectively fractional reserve. But that's p2p lending facilitated by a smart contract.Kind of doubt anyone would just agree to do last-one-out-the-door-loses fractional reserve banking.

@cjd in general I'd doubt that too but people are doing it with fiat, so who knows

@lain Well, historically people sort of had to, otherwise hide their gold and hope no bandits find it. Then came central banking, bank regulation, and the promise that if a bank fails, the state will print them out of it.Under that condition there's no real risk at all, except the systemic risk of hyperinflation.

@NicolasConstant tether isn't supposed to be fractional, if it is it's fraudulent
