In the advertised forms, absolutely horrible idea, why would anyone introduce so much uncertainty in the monetary system is beyond me.

There are smart ways to do it though, such as doing it in a second-tier currency that buys only essentials or directly in terms of food, shelter and education. Just a free STEM/business education will go a long way if we can find some way to keep students engaged and committed to put the effort to actually learn.
