Are you sure something that something that approximates this is a good thing?
Not to mention that I don't think it's possible to truely make something like that in the physical sense. You can make Forward Time Traveling Anal ZProof Coinbutt that gives you free Blockchain blowjobs, shit is about as good as using the money in SimCity 3000 save files as a medium of exchange if it doesn't connect to reality (i.e. has a system of sourcing and managing information in a reliable manner).
Or am I missing something? Genuinely curious.
You often hear crypto proponents on Threadi (not the oort cloud of types who de facto only care about high risk speculation and are pushing bags, the genuine ones) say that they want to use crypto as a way to fight data brokers/collection, but that doesn't make sense (to me). The payment is just one step of the process and you can't leave civilization at scale.
But for me personally, I don't see the point of such a system if one can't manage current challenges with human organisation in democratic leaning countries or perhaps even more broadly (at whatever level/scale that is relevant for you). It seems like you would just be back at square one but with more wallets, random useless shit you have to memorize and having to track client/protocols updates and some other crap.
Sure we might get a technology at some point in the future that truly impacts human nature, but in that case all bets are off and we are entering pretty avangarde sci-fi.
