I personally think people will get paid (in crypto) for all the things they do in life. Call it an extended marketing and social control mechanism. Each action in your life, from visiting a certain website to doing charity work to visting a place, eating a certain meal etc will be rewarded and/or punished. When you eat e.g. an unhealthy burger, you will get punished by your health insurance provider, while at the same time get rewarded by the meat industry etc But if you order e.g. a vegan burger, then you get a reward from your health insurance provider, but get punished by the meat industry, at the same time pressure groups like GAIA might also offer you extra rewards. This will all be linked and dependent on time, place, the people you know and interact with etc Artificial Intelligence will play a huge role in this. It will be used to not only maintain the resources for this web optimally but also using self learning mechanism (based on the mass of info it's getting from sensors, google searches, etc etc etc) will be shaping mindsets/beliefs, steering and controlling populations in practially subliminal ways. Blockchain and/or hashgraph will be used to register everything and make an auditable trail. I really don't want this to happen, but I do give it a huge probability of becoming real.
