Banks do it all the time when they buy Treasuries from the Federal Reserve that are destined to be converted to currency.
In my wonderland case, i'm talking about regular bitcoin miners.
Imagine the Fed starts issuing dollars through mining, 0.01 USD per block. Would you be interested on mining?
For that to happen, it would basically put the Federal Reserve and the Banks out of business because there would be no more centralized book keeping.
Bitcoin completely decentralizes the books by giving everyone a copy of the books.
Personally I would not put any extra effort into a currency scheme with centralized book keeping.
I mean I already participate in a currency scheme with centralized book keeping...why would I need another one?
