Intetest accumulates, if it takes you 2 years to pay, you owe 12k normally. Regardless of how long your payment plan is, how much you owe depends on the speculation date (the sooner it is, the more predictable and less risky). Bigger loans would be issued for less trustworthy customers if the speculation/first payment date is very soon. But let's say the first payment is a year away and the debtor speculates too high of an increase in currency value,then they would come off as bad debtors no one wants a loan from. But the more conservative their speculation on long term currency value, the more reasonable and appealing of a debtor they appear to be. So if you will start paying me back a year from now,I might speculate a 2% increase in value but if you will pay back in a few weeks I can more accurately predict and say a 5-10% increase. Since the worst outcome for the debtor if payment is made is "my cash is insured against loss" they have the incentive to make conservative speculations that lure debtees. If a well known and reputed person uses their valuable site/business for a $1M loan that will be paid in 5 years and you loan them with a 3% increase speculation you will get 30k for the risk you took on and guarantee that not only will you not lose money but will gain at least 3%,regardless of economic crashes or market volatility.
