Melvin,

Luca is trying to brainstorm a business model for RWW.io and similar
services. Basically, a business model for Personal Data Spaces that
implement RWW functionality using AWWW and related open standards. etc..

I think that's achievable without requiring each data space platform
dabble in the more complex realm of digital currency :-)

Digital currency is just a ledger on a computer.  The ONLY way to have a business model is to use digital currency.  The double spend problem is traditionally solved by having a central mint.  In other words, you have a record keeping system on your website of everyone's account balances and quotas.  This is not complexity, there's no other way to do it.

I'm just saying that using linked data and URIs it becomes portable and, if you want, you can make it distributed so that you increase the value, and potentially generate more revenue...
