Before Marx, the socialist movement tried to implement experiences of substituting money for labor certificates as a way to overcome capitalism. There are two alternatives explanations for the failure of these (by marxists so-called) utopian experiences: they are theoretically invalid or they failed due to low development of technology in the time. If digital currencies can change the way money works in real capitalism today, is it possible to consider this second alternative as the concrete explanation for the ongoing process of solving the socialist economic calculation problem?
