I've said this in another comment but it bears repeating, and perhaps repeating in different ways.
Stamps are just tokens, as in bearer tokens. How you get stamps is a different issue. Let me give you a couple of examples how one might do stamps without cryptocurrency:
1. Alice, "I'd like 100 Bob stamps please." Bob: "Please pay me $5"
2. Alice, "I'd like 100 Bob stamps please." Bob: "Can you please do some computational work on my behalf?"
3. Alice: "I'd like 100 Bob stamps please." Bob: "How will you pay for them?"
Alice: "I could trade in 30 Carol stamps, would that work?" Bob: "Yes, let's trade Carol stamps for Bob stamps."
As for Apple Sign-In, I don't know what it is, so I can't speak to it.

Not only does this give you a nice way to really cancel, it also means you can track down if someone sold your address to a spam list. Or if it accidentally leaks, rotate it.
