I'm not sure, but from my observations it's long been a point of confusion in
Bitcoiner understanding of banking.

Perhaps this is the key point of contention?
In cases where Bitcoin is given over to an exchange, there is no expectation of
interest, at least in the sense that there is no expectation

But what you gain in smaller signatures, you lose in a more complex
and longer SCRIPT, and there are limits to SCRIPT size (

What people consider is irrele
I thought about this, but at the time of writing I couldn't come up with
something I thought was substantially better. I spent a few more cycles
thinking on it -- you can definitely do better. It's not clear how much
better Winternitz might be, or if it would be secure in this context?
Here's some

You think that because you're misinterpreting me. I'm in no way claiming
that any solvent company can prove it, I'm simply claiming that any company
can prove that they have bitcoin reserves to cover bitcoins promised as
account balances.

You're using terms in non-standard ways. Putting money into a bank is not
considered "lending" to the bank. You may make a case that you'r

Couldn't you significantly compress the signatures by using either
Winternitz OTS or by using OP_CAT to build a merkle tree so that the
full signature can be derived during script e

As I pointed out previously there is an unsupportable leap being made here
