From the description it seems like "GNU PayPal" or "XMPP for Stripe".
To me it seems quite desirable: a decentralized protocol for sending government-backed money in a way that is legal (strong crypto isn't protection from being arrested for money laundering), and yet offers better privacy and is more open to competition than existing networks of banks/credit cards/PayPal.

You may thank the Holy Roman Empire for making good coinage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaler
