Absolutely - but if it goes down in value then you get more bitcoins back 
Basically it would make sense to introduce products like that if for example you can secure some funding or deposits in dollars (or whatever).
If you are serious about being a bank then you will end up with an interesting book indeed, with all sorts of things offsetting one another.
Do you think there is a product you can design to interest people like me who would be interested in going long bitcoins, that would be more exciting than just buying them? I'm sure there is
Particularly if I can buy it using bitcoins.

hmm, i understand, but if you go long and end up paying back 0.10 instead of 1 BTC , then I would have to get more BTC to accommodate more loan requests.
Much easier and better for me to deal only in BTC. BTC price wont change much in a week (for IBB newbie loan)

My thinking was that you could use trades like that to hedge bitcoins and make investments outside of the bitcoin universe - as a loan in dollars but denominated in bitcoins is effectively making you short coins versus the currency* - and then you can make the investment in a currency.
Of course to be a real bank you need to start taking a cut somewhere as you are a spread business.
*And of course I would be long, which is why I wanted it

Could I have an interest free dollar, or other currency, loan in bitcoins that I will pay you back in bitcoins
So in other words, if a bitcoin is 5 dollars today, and 0.5 dollars when I pay you back, I would pay you 10 bitcoins. But if a bitcoin was 50 dollars when I pay you back, I would pay you 0.1 bitcoins?
Also, how are you an islamic bank?
