Cryptocurrencies don't allow credit/debt systems.

Sure they do. If you lend me 5 crypto coins with the understanding that I'll repay you 6 crypto coins next year then we have a system of credit. The invention of credit predates the invention of money by thousands of years. In ancient times people would borrow seed under an agreement to repay at the harvest with associated penalties for default.
