The form of currency isn't necessarily important. The form of human society/economics is. The present implementation of capitalism (money worship/hoarding) doesn't question the usefulness of humans to their place. It's based on consumption and capitalization of consumption without questioning whether we return anything to our places and the people who care for those places.

The overhead of consumptionism is deferred into the future (debt and government-based pre-spending (printing money)).

As you point out: Life is about making choices. Cheap food makes cheap people, and "Always Low Prices" disinforms the chooser.

All of civilization's overhead costs (health, risks, war, bureaucracy) need to be visible at the decision point so that choices are informed and sensible.

All of the value of labor needs to be paid directly to the laborer/creator so that they know their value in the system when they make informed choices at the checkouts.

We can start with something like the FairTax bill that Republicans have been supporting off and on for 25 years (sales tax and prebate to replace the income tax code), negotiate the rate and prebate to include anti-consumption, anti-corruption (simple and anonymous sales tax system vs the 2-ton income tax code) with UBI and a universal plan for good health (not "insurance" and drugs) that covers food production (regenerative agriculture) and health education (not just sports and dessert-making shows on TV).

The anonymity of sales taxes alone should be enough to pass the idea along.

That's enough to eliminate 80% of the reasons people use crypto.
