Let's first make sure we get humans to adopt it before we roll it out to monkeys.
I also think monkeys would have a hard time understand that some items are 'cheaper' because they don't pay with physical goods and I don't think most monkeys understand numbers. So you would need a way to make it clear to monkeys that some items costs 'more'. This is going to be the biggest challenge in the project probably.

I remember someone doing something similar with a fish, but over the internet.
You could donate Bitcoin to an address and that would trigger an automated feeder to put some food in the aquarium, and you could see it on a livestream.
The donations were used to get a bigger tank.
The website is still up, but seems like they've took down the livestream.

How can monkeys adopt bitcoin? The 7-step roadmap
1. Find a zoo where the monkeys have a good life despite the fact that they are held in captivity. If we do this right, my hope is that we can further improve the living conditions of this monkeys...
2. Set up a web camera and a related web page.
3. Put a smartphone into a plexiglass enclosure so that it can take some really harsh treatment.
4. Develop a bitcoin wallet that displays bananas on the screen every time the wallet receives X amount of bitcoin.
5. Develop a vendor machine with a NFC surface. When a monkey puts the smartphone onto the NFC surface the app will automatically pay for one banana with a bitcoin transaction.
The machine will now dispense a banana to the monkey.
If the monkeys end up eating an unhealthy amount of bananas, then the price per banana goes up.
To make it more interesting the vendor machine can have a variety of products that the monkeys can choose from. Price may also vary between products.
6. We have now created a genuine monkey business.
Anyone on the internet can participate in the monkey business by donating some bitcoin.
7. The zookeepers are effectively selling bananas to the monkeys and this is where it becomes really interesting…
What if those bananas are sold with a significant profit..?
The profit can be used to enlarge the fenced area where the monkeys are living, or it can be used to build some new facility within the area.
In some way this money should be used to improve the living conditions of the monkeys.
