Uuuhhh...debt is credit...same thing...
debt is your current negative balance
credit is your future negative balance
the worlds fiat interest based currency is built on the concept of perpetual debt...basically we're born in debt and just trade it for a greater or lesser negative number...
sorry...

There's so much wrong with this system I don't even know where to begin.
What would determine the value of this credit? And whether the government dishing out 50,000 for every year you're alive would kill the value of that credit vs. what peg the credit is valued to. Another issue is the privacy issue. Money is extremely traceable at the electronic level. And such a "currency" could be the single most invasive system in the entire country.
