Debt is HBD supply/marketcap to HIVE virtual supply marketcap.

Haircut happens to HBD, when the debt increases over some percent of debt that the blockchain allows. Now 10%, soon 30%. Haircut means the blockchain wont give a 1$ price for HBD anymore when conversion happens. The higher the debt the lower the price of HBD. Its a protection from death spiral.
