If the idea is for people to become more self sovereign, or contribute more to society, then I think Bitcoin is doing just fine.

History has some uses in some societies, but in many, such as the UAE, it is ignored.

As for litter volunteering such as litter picking. That is certainly a valid objective and desirable outcome, but being able to pay people to collect litter is a more desirable outcome.

As for everyone becoming self sovereign, to use the Bitcoin parlance, Bitcoin is for anybody, but not for everybody.
