Ironically, if cryptocurrency succeeds, it will only help to put another nail in the marxist coffin.

I think you may be right. What we would get after with cryptocurrencies might be some kind of unregulated anarcho-capitalism.

According to Marx, the absence of regulations should clear the path for capitalism's self-destruction. So I don't know if this would mark the end of Marxism or be a catalyst for its revival. But it probably won't be a smooth transition.

But who knows, maybe anarcho-capitalism will work if the communities are small enough.

How can you have Marxism without control of capital and/or means of production?
