deanclkclk: but, with a deposit being 0...wouldn't that cause the T account to not be balanced?
mircea_popescu: note that accounting generally is just a convention, and it may be uniquely adequate or uniquely inadequate to resolve any factual problems. in some formulations inflation is opaque to accounting, in some others quite transparent. this doesn't make inflation go away, even if it's very tempting for all governments historically to pretend so.
deanclkclk: how would that show on the banks T account?

deanclkclk: if the depositor withdraws from his account ...how would that show on the T account?
mircea_popescu: well, you've constructed it so it doesn't make any sense. take a better example : say i run a whorehouse and you bring me your wife. then one day you want to have sex. just because i've sent her to work the streets of mexico doesn't mean you can't have sex,
deanclkclk: that doesn't make any sense
deanclkclk: in an investment bank...one which the depositor can't withdraw from his account because, he knows the bank doesn't have it (it's loan out)..that's isn't inflationary

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform doesn't match by having more pins tho, importantly.
