I truly don’t mean to be glib with this reply, but as far as I’m concerned ALL currencies embody specific values, by what they choose to measure and what they don’t. A parent taking care of their child is not part of the economy, but if they hire a nanny to do the same thing, then suddenly the same work counts.

Grades (as a performance metric currency) can show how well you can give the “right answers” but not how much you supported your peers in learning, your attendance, or how hard you worked, or how many breakthroughs to the paradigms that the “right” answers are stuck in.

Really, everyone participating in a currency is signaling at least their implicit support of the values encoded in that currency. But for most of us it is unconscious. What if we were to awaken to the values encoded there?

Would you participate in the speculative ecosystem that encode cryptocoins as what matters, and not people? Would you participate in the enslavement to debt encoded in national currencies? Do these things actually reflect your values? What might a currency look like that does!’
