On paper, libertarianism and communism are political ideologies that I think is best for a societal setup, far more superior than democracy which only led us to the likes of Trump and other bad world leaders that we have right now. Though they are good ideologies with good principles at hand, I don't think they'd ever be compatible with crypto knowing that the latter acts on its own, completely free from controls of anything other than the market and the miners which builds the whole economy. Perhaps one can say that anarchy fits the bill more properly than communism or libertarianism when we're talking about bitcoin, though it's wrong to assume that since there are some parts of bitcoin which does not follow anarchy since it's slowly being engulfed by regulations on most parts of the world.

In my opinion crypto maximalism (which implies libertarianism, freedom from state's control of our money) is not compatible with being a communist or even a socialist, as the implementation of these systems requires always some kind of force being applied by the state to "redistribute" wealth, but maybe someone can prove me wrong.
Communism is a political system. It has little with economy and money. Bitcoin will part state and money. Same as in past they parted religion with state. Communism were totally fine with that.
In 200 years when you will tell someone that money and state were connected they will think you are mad. Same as you would say to someone that would claim religion and state are connected. And that our political leaders are representative of God on Earth.
Yes, ironically Marxists want to end the State with a giant State, and replace the free market with a State "controlled" command economy. It always ends in a police state that destroys itself from within.
Anarchists claim they are the true communists. Within that group, i think Bitcoin makes more sense, but not Marxists.

Dude, if you think about such things, then you have a lot of free time. In this regard, I can only envy you. I think that Marx’s communism and the communism that they tried to implement in the USSR and other countries are different things. I did not go deep into the study of the works of Marx, but I can definitely say that he did not assume complete government control over people. Capitalism in this regard is not much different from communism now. Especially in countries such as the United States where the state is closely watching your citizens, but unlike communism, it is much more liberal about people’s freedoms.

Communism is pretty much the same as libertarianism. On the page they're both appealing ideas in different ways. It's human beings attempting to actually implement them than turns them to shit.
There's never been a communist country. At best there've been attempts at state capitalism. Thankfully there's never been a libertarian country either. That would truly be a living nightmare.

Ideological beliefs and earnings in the crypto-currency market of nick are not correlated, if it concerns not the state, as such, but the individual. Everyone, regardless of their political preferences, wants to be rich. And in what way a person will increase their wealth, it is a personal matter. Communists in this sense are no different from democrats or liberals.
