Would Karl Marx have embraced the idea of decentralized currency?

Money isnt supposed to exist in communism so this whole conversation is irrelevant, he would have been for decentralized wives though because he was a cuck

Probably not. Karl Marx's thought is about collective emancipation to achieve freedom, blockchain and cryptos are all about individual freedom. It might sound lt's quite the same but there is a philosophical gap between the two.

The truth is that he would probably be very critical of the current crypto world which has not much to do with decentralization and is slowly shaping a new mean to control people's day to day existence.

Marx wrote criticisms of Max Stirner that were longer than Stirners complete works. What an autist.

He may have had a more nuanced view on it than a lot of people would attribute to him, given that he advocated for intermediate stages of using mediums of exchange before the abolition of money (labor vouchers in the Critique of the Gotha Program). Anarchists and pre-marxist utopian socialists experimented with issuing their own currencies with their own mechanisms of functioning as a way to reshape market relationships.

But I don't think he would consider bitcoin a very beneficial turn.

of course not, mining is literally the means of production
