At the bottom of the page are circumstances regarding individual countries, and their relevance to a digital economy.
Below some obvious scenarios following different 'regulatory' responses by country / region.
~
The "ideal" scenario, in any country, which would necessarily start a chain reaction in all other countries, would be a fiat nationalist country surrendering forced control of its indigenous entities, encouraging cultural isolation, and providing those indigenous groups with full support for creating digital ai networks, the primary support being basic education in one or another science. Networks consisting of these indigenous language coins will easily overwhelm melting pot networks on any measure of quality.
As easy as that may sound, it's unlikely to happen any time soon for political reasons.
~
At some point, in the very distant future, and perhaps as a last ditch attempt by fiat interests to survive, countries with low density areas will probably offer tracts of land as 'colonies' to foreign indigenous groups with unique languages, providing them whatever they need to start a new 'node' in that country's ai network.
Until then, some short term scenarios.

Libra ban / digital nightmare scenario
Eurozone / United States https://news.bitcoin.com/g7-agrees-cryptocurrency-action-plan-facebooks-libra/
Facebook is a very 'pro government authority' company.
https://thefreethoughtproject.com/facebook-police-accountability-removal/
Even to the point of preventing people from using their website to prevent abuse by authorities.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/03/korryn-gaines-facebook-account-baltimore-police
Facebook's currency 'Libra' is obviously being used as a test of the extent to which 'regulators', with fictional authority but real guns, differentiate between 'official' and 'unofficial' currencies, with corporate currencies being intermediate, between the two.
If they follow the least wise amongst their leaders, they will determine to maintain the official status quo and ban Facebook's currency. This is extremely unlikely, but if it does happen it could lead to several years of slowness in the digital economies of those countries, followed by a long period of regulatory fears in developed countries, with very few isolated groups developing their own networks.
This would limit development possibilities of indigenous coins for at least several years, while global issues i.e., problems caused by the lack of scientific progress, would increase.
At some point, 1 year or 5 years or 20 years or whatever, social unrest in developed countries, along with the urgency of scientific problems, would force the irrelevance of those regulations.
The only positive some people might find in this scenario is that within a few years smaller fiat countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America would drift away from their orbits around superpowers. The problem with this is the rapid proliferation of independent fiat militaries that might occur within years. The same people who see corporate currencies as 'bannable in today's world' would also see the consequent problems as 'solveable through nationalist powers', which would cause steadily increasing nightmare scenarios.
Ultimately, a person can research Facebook and their libra currency, but all you really have to know to make an informed decision is what Facebook did to Korryn Gaines. Facebook and authorities have promoted an untrue version of events surrounding her killing. The truth is that
a) An officer fired a shotgun blast blindly to provoke her since the cops were getting tired.
b) She was live-streaming on Facebook. She was coherent, rational and had no intention of hurting anybody, especially not her child.
c) The 12 gauge she had was legally purchased for her defense.
d) Police asked Facebook to cut off her live stream.
e) Facebook cut her live stream and then police moved in, killed her and wounded her child.
Much of the material online is inaccurate and a lot of the comments on some sites have been spammed with pro cop posts that contain lies.
Any currency created by Facebook should be ignored.

Individual Countries and Regions
Countries obviously go through cycles from powerful to weak. Some countries survive the cycle, some don't. The digital economy will lead to some progressive and less ambitious countries becoming incredibly powerful, just as it will lead a lot of 'powerful' countries to ruin.
Post WWII Superstars
Following World War One, Germany was thrown to the wolves and became progressively more dangerous as it weakened. This, some would say, led to World War Two. The lesson learned was 'don't try to take too much advantage of defeat', which evolved into the various strategies used to normalize international diplomacy after WWII.
The big 'winners' of WWII, at least in the short term, were the U.S., China and England. China took a while to develop, but without the pre WWII rivalries in Asia it's path was cleared. England deferred to the U.S. as 'leader of the west', and the U.S. grabbed as much power as it could.
The three potential losers of WWII, analogous to Germany in WWI, were Germany, Japan and European political Jews, or Zionists in Palestine / Israel, but these all distinctly capitalized on the global interest in the international lessons of WWI, and landed on their feet, with help from countries which were not interested in WWIII.
The pre state Israel was not part of the "Axis", and obviously was opposed to the German side, but Jews were long persecuted in Europe and WWII and emerged from the war severely injured. The war allowed a Zionist state to be created by political European Jews, in other words the state was not politically possible until WWII.
Until the 1970s or 1980s, Germany, Japan and Israel were considered superstar countries that could do no wrong. There were constant references at that time to all sorts of marvels in these countries, their amazing economies, their smart people, their advanced development etc.
As the new millennium started, that artificial aura started to dissipate, and the three countries were left to fend for themselves based on historical norms i.e., without the politeness of a world worried about WWIII.
Germany and Japan have since retreated to a sustainable status quo, they aren't 'on track to lead the global economy', as they were with politeness from other nations in the 1980s, but they aren't headed for disaster any time soon either.

Israel though is in a difficult position. Strategically it was never in a sustainable, survivable position, except with extraordinary help from the superpowers. It's neighbors have not developed along a path that would make it survivable, except for a thin slice of those societies that has been controlled and kept in power. It used to be fashionable for Israelis to pretend they were a heroic David against the mighty Arab Goliath, but the superpowers made sure Israel always had weapons to survive. While the Germans and Japanese eventually realized that they were successful only out of generosity from the political world, Israelis for the most part have been slow to realize that. It is still common to meet Israelis who believe they have some superior quality that others lack.
So today, with the center of global power distributing more and more towards smaller nations and their alliances, Germany and Japan seem to have gotten back on solid ground, but Israel quite the opposite.
This vulnerability of Israel, the simple fact that it will not become more survivable as fiat alliances become less centralized, could force it to sacrifice its delusion of supremacy for a survivable place in the digital world.
A rapid development of Palestinian infrastructure specifically to create a digital rival to Israel, as long as Palestinians are the leaders in that realm of any groups that might ally with them, would be one scenario under which ai coins could develop quickly, and force a more rapid development of the digital economy.

Estonia and Israel are perhaps the two extremes with regards to the 'value' of citizenship.
Estonia has a program that allows almost anybody to get a form of online residency. This is probably going to become the norm for countries trying to attract new ideas.

Israel calls itself 'the Jewish state', but the Americas probably contain the most 'original' Jewish DNA of any region or country in the world.
http://www.conspiracyschool.com/blog/marranos-everywhere-christian-kabbalists-and-conquest-new-world
Modern Israel was created by European descendants of converted Jews, and was sold to the general public as an exclusive Jewish real estate zone. The problem though was that there were already genuine hereditary Jews i.e., middle eastern Jews, so those European Jews selling 'a Jewish state' had to go overboard on trying to be 'the original Jews, just as the nazis went overboard on enforcing their 'racial purity' because it was more fiction than fact.
https://www.the-scientist.com/daily-news/genetic-roots-of-the-ashkenazi-jews-38580
Israel is possibly the only country where no person is ever entirely secure in their citizenship. Palestinians of course are sometimes banned from re entry, from living in or visiting the geographic spot where they were born.
But more importantly, even 'the most secure' Israeli citizen is only an ideological flip flop from potentially becoming persona non grata. An ultra nationalist Israeli 'knows' that he or she is fully, 100% welcome in Israel, but he or she ignores the fact that if his or her ideology were to shift 180 degrees, he or she could find him or herself abroad with no way to return. This would not now be done to a single nationality Jewish Israeli because of the optics of creating 'stateless Jews', but it probably will be done in the future.

On the other hand, Israel, like most countries, does recognize wealth as a sort of global passport. Any person whatsoever, regardless of politics, religion etc is welcome unconditionally to many countries, including Israel, as long as they have a lot of cash.
The digital economy eventually will create a 'baseline of wealth' that every person possesses, in other words at some point simply being able to input information and react to an ai algorithm will give any person a useful economic function in countries that require that.

The world is more and more becoming a collection of restricted zones controlled by this or that group which presumes to have found some political ruleset which will guarantee everybody harmony if only the 'leaders' can enforce it vigorously enough.

Hong Kong is an area that has been sort of globalized by modern society, like Sarajevo or Geneva, but it is also at the leading edge of democracy reforms which could lead to it becoming a more respected leader in digital currency. A lot of places have democracy protests but the protestors in Hong Kong are taking more risks than comfortable 'first world' people usually take, which sets a good international standard.
The U.S. has occasional protests that sometimes involve a few well spirited people, but most U.S. protests are choreographed events involving easily managed people. Europe likewise. Less developed countries are largely pacified, often with military equipment supplied by major powers.
So if the liberty protestors in Hong Kong are able to hold their own they will have a lot of credibility in the digital economy. They are going up against a vast anti democracy machine, not just their local 'authorities', so if they win it will have historic implications.
