I wouldn't call it silly. The idea behind cryptocurrency (distributed agreement) remains a difficult problem to solve efficiently and securely. If nothing else, it is a worthwhile thought experiment.
As for whether or not any cryptocurrency will ever be stable and widespread enough to be usable in the western world remains to be seen.
