We'll need two things in a crypto-utopia

1. Decentralized derivative adjusted assets. Basically you are holding a contract of 100 Units (instead of 100USD) that represent a decentralized smart contract which trades against other cryptos. Crypto goes up or down but your contract holds a stable value.

2. Automatic search for gateways and routing of transactions. The merchant just shows you the amount in the universal unit (ie: 35 Units) and a QR Code. You scan the QR code and the merchant is paid. The applications and blockchains figure out the rest and connects the different blockchains together.

Yes, or a bunch of coins in your pocket. Not so utopic, but they don't require data access and require no electricity.
