Some people want to use digital cash and that's what crypto coins are. As far as I'm concerned they should be stable(pegged to a known currency) and fast to transact to solve this problem. Bitcoin just doesn't make sense for paymenys due its volatility.

This sounds great until an irresponsible government prints money.

Not all the goverments are irresponsible. Just use a different currency(i.e eur). It's pretty clear to me now that in practice goverments do a better work(stability wise) than the free market.
