A payment system that's not driven by a unicorn , is "libre", cannot be used by criminals because business payments are visible while customers are anonymous, and helps combat tax avoidance?!

Nah, will never fly.



Will never fly because corporations will not adopt something that helps them pay more taxes.


Corporations don‘t evade taxes by hiding consumer payment transactions.


That’s certainly true. However, making up transactions is almost core to money laundering, and laundromats don’t like to pay taxes for obvious reasons.


So corporations won't adopt double-entry accounting then? ;) Corporations have ways to move money around legally. There is a regulatory gap... They do not need to hide money illegally.
