This has little to do with economics.

Age 0-18: You are under the care of society.

Age 18-60: You are a productive member of society.

Age 60+: You are under the care of society again.

This is always how humans have lived.

A compelling successor to both Heroku and App Engine is Google Cloud Run. Dead simple to setup, no frills and cheap to run.

I have a similar implementation of RPC over AMQP in Node.js and 2 things i'd advise. (Similar to my sibling poster)

1) Don't requeue on error. One bad message could bring down your entire service. Better to just push it to Sentry and make a fix for it.

2) Have a timeout in your message handler.

The OP has made some huge assumptions here but MPESA, even with all its social and economic benefits, only got to where it is today because of Vodafone's deep pockets.Don't really see a similar Bitcoin champion emerging in these parts.
