First he would epistemologically point out the flaws in the Gold Standard.
Then he would point out the trust taking place in the bank as an extension of the philosopher's unknowable conundrum.
With this he would equate the nouminous computational achievement as abstruse and vaulted among privileged minds like the weighing and managing of physical gold to distribute claims of value as quasi synthetic quasi analytical judgements to the common crowd of currency users.
The currency user would then be an investigation into ethical sentiment and categorical imperatives.

I think it would blow his mind for him to see Minecraft within Minecraft attempts of Redstone computing as an example of how hardware is a means to and end and not an end in and of itself. Empiricism does not imply rationalism and necessitates a priori knowledge for intuition and induction to take place.

Never mind crypto. Did Kant ever weigh in on theories of value? Were Smith, Ricardo and Mill published in his time? I think he would refute the labor theory and apptly foreshadow the subjective theory.

couldn't you just do this with regular computer though, it's not like kant had ever seen a laptop or software

I think of his transcendental idealism as this kind of mind as computer within a computer. The first logic gates in basic electronics would already hold consciousness to some degree in things outside of minds. The history of computing itself has benefited greatly from Kant as the secondary academic sources I read tell me Frege was Kantian and thus we get the big braned analytical thinkers and Turing not that much later. I think time traveling Kant would be a layman and keep a brilliant mathematician so he'd at best have witty comment on a computer related clickbait video.

Nick Land wrote a book about bitcoin, "crypto currents" is the name I think, which has a lot of explicit content on Kant.
I think the main point is about the blockchain, as in the context of economy, being a material entity determining an absolute sequence of transactions or absolute time
