This postwork idea is bit of red herring. There are more jobs now then ever before, albeit a lot are low wage. There is massive demand for care work, health service work, hospitality, driving, teaching, cleaning, construction and on and on, The view that there is a shortage of work is generally by those who do not do manual labour and feel scared their work is vulnerable.
Yes of course there are all of those important jobs that need doing, and the jobs that get very highly rewarded are not those jobs. That is why we need a universal basic income: Then it will create a fair market for work. People will have to be compensated well to do difficult service work. Also, if people do not have to do any job, they cab focus on other social things that are urgently needed - like addressing the ecological crisis via permaculture etc.
I'm not even a fan of Bitcoin (I think Monero is the only legit Cryptocurrency), but I think you are perhaps overlooking that Cryptocurrency can help aid in your ideas of an Antiwork society. It seems straightforward enough that if people had enough wealth to live off of, then people could do more of what they desire to do in life. Bitcoin may in fact be aiding in this if you think about it. People have quit their jobs to trade Cryptocurrency instead. But then the question comes of who will drive the trucks and farm the crops and do the necessary labor to put food on the shelves if enough people embrace the Antiwork ideology?

Yes indeed. UBI/MMT or some completely revolution where land and ownership of Commons is restored by Jubilee!
