I started to think about it. How a bank and folks could issue loans to people?

Currently, when you need to borrow money, your banker just edits your balance account and create money magically. You then pay back monthly.
Banks won't be able to do that with Bitcoin with its limited supply. You can't print bitcoins.

But now, between folks. Let's say I'm the banker and you're the customer looking to borrow money to buy a house. I can lend you the money but how to be sure you will pay me back with full interests? With banks, the solution is easy, the bank seizes the house and you can't do something. But the average Joe hasn't the same 'power' than a bank to collect a debt.
The only option for that is p2p lending because bitcoin is decentralized so I think there is no way to have a great system for that. p2p lending is the best option, we have a lending section here in forum, so I think that will be enough just provide some collateral or just simply having a trusted account profile will be enough.
