It's already happening.
You go to Sign up for Coinbase using my link and we can each get $20 in BTC. https://coinbase.com/join/AGAG9LX?src=android-share
You essentially buy data that's already mined Bitcoin or whatever token. What your doing is converting Fiat to Crypto Currency.
The process is started already to extract wealth from communities emptying bank accounts so they can half the amount of Fiat you have to make goods and services affordable. Eventually you'll have a little Crypto of your own and you treat it like cash since it is and the backing of confidence makes your Fiat worth something.
So if someone doesn't believe fiat is worth buying anything with because of inflation, then the currency is worthless. In the Crypto world, they call that sh*t Coins.
