My sibling-in-christ, you are talking about an imaginary future. You cannot start to base the economy of today on your science fiction. Even if we were moving the direction of your sci-fi (and we're not, because you are even describing a PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE SCENARIO), it would be so far in the future as to be stupid to start today. You might as well start building landing pads for asteroid mined metals.

Physically impossible: yes - you've suggested using a currency made by the infinitely wasteful PoW system to finance the power used to compute something useful. You might as well try to fly by pulling on the arms of your chair.
