I appreciate you taking the time to answer, but I don't really see anything concrete there.

I'm really not sure how tokens or 'coins' would/could result in the benefits you mention. Global communications networks certainly have revolutionised global cooperation in ways not before possible. I'm just not seeing the value-add of cryptocurrency here.

We've had game tokens for quite a bit longer than cryptocurrencies...

I'm sorry, but this reads like a fantasy more than any way in which blockchain technologies could actually enable anything.
