You can do all that today, although it requires some learning and setup, but at least in the US it's totally doable.

I know of Joel Valenzuela who is an evangelist about paying everything with decentralized cryptocurrencies:

The interesting thing about cryptocurrencies is using them directly, i.e. when users have their own wallets under their full control. Then it's magical when you make a transaction to somebody and think that nobody is censoring, filtering, moderating or rejecting it in any way. Oh and no PII either.
