Looks to me like Munin could *be* most of that "Stasi", albeit with 
further investigation required when it flags suspicious activity.

While this is drifting off-topic, I believe that we can agree that the 
intrinsic value of a pure fiat currency is zero.

However, fiat currencies have bullies (commonly called "governments") 
demanding that people pretend they have value. Cryptocurrencies, as 
privately-issued fiat currencies, do not have even that.  Expecting them 
to somehow retain value in the face of the chaos that will ensue after 
governments collapse is a hilarious libertarian fantasy.
