Great concept.
CPU, bandwidth, electricity, it's all just energy. And to a significant degree, money is just energy stored. I generate energy with my own work, store it in the form of money, and then transfer that energy to someone else, maybe to heat my home or cook me a meal.
Before money, I had to barter for those things. Maybe conceptually the internet is in a similar state at the moment. It doesn't have 'money'. Why can't I put CPUs in my wallet and then spend them? And why can't I charge visitors to my site by the CPUs they are costing me?
Instead, I have to, in a way, barter. For example, maybe I use ad revenue to earn my income, so I generate all this content, I barter that to the search engines, which barter with the advertisers, which barter with me, and I barter back to security guards to protect me from 'bad' actor bots. I'd really just like to receive CPU and bandwidth payments from them.
