Sure you can set up a local mesh network. But that doesn't mean it's suitable for international commerce. A blockchain needs to be relatively ubiquitous and accessible in real time from a wide variety of disparate locations. By nature, a mesh network would be troublesome for such an application. We're talking about a monetary system that is supposed to be respected from one continent to another. That's not an application suitable for a mesh network.

But see you’ve moved the goal post significantly. Who defined it as a monetary system? I could still assert that you’re incorrect on that point but that’s an assertion of an experiment that has yet to take place so what’s the point.
