The whole crypto system is basically a real, evolving mechanism of evaluating different monetary systems. Don't like it how Bitcoin is structured? Fork it and see how the market reacts.
Wants a centralized version of Ethereum when checks and balances? Israel is building that.
You can even build an Islamic monetary structure enforced by smart contracts (addressing sibling comment: historically Islamic financial systems collapsed because they are enforced by corruptible people).
Like all things, most experiments would fail (and most people shouldn't put their savings in experiments!). We might end up with even a worse monetary system (unlikely imho, because I believe the markets are free to accept and reject those experiments). I won't fight it though - the markets are brutal, and in time, kills bad ideas. I do want the experimentations to happen though!
