The idea of a universal micropayment system was promoted early on by people such as Ted Nelson and Jaron Lanier. It's now probably possible to do with some form of cryptocurrency, but even so I'm not convinced that payments for everything is a good idea. Most likely it would merely reproduce the sorts of inequalities which we see in the rest of the economy.
