> Because crypto is literally how entities on a decentralized network get paid in an autonomous network

That doesn't ring true. What is an autonomous network? Those things runs on the internet, largely backed by infrastructure funded by traditional money. Moreover, emails, tor nodes, xmpp servers, matrix homeservers, fediverse hosts... None of those need cryptocoins to fund themselves, and are indeed largely and for the most part funded using traditional money. Micropayments are also not something needed for decentralization.

Decentralization is way more than just about decentralizing money and many of us don't trust crypto coins.
