Is there an unconventional currency (to contrast your statement) that comes with either inherent value or trustless system? I'm genuinely curious what you meant.

If you consider Bitcoin unconventional (I would), it qualifies as a trustless currency.

Lots of crypto is trustless, they just don’t have inherent value.
