None of those examples are of societies basing their economies on bitcoin though. The basic problem I’m curious about is how does one enforce a judgement? Let’s say I don’t agree with a ruling against me and I’m just not going to pay. What can they do? Expel me? Even then I still don’t have to pay.

'Enforcing judgement' may take many forms in such a community; banishment, loss of freedom, forfeiture of assets (whatever they may be - maybe just a deposit).

The use of crypto-currency, as a means of exchange, doesn't prevent a society from enforcing some kind of community based judgement against a member(s).
