I don't like the lumping together of socialism and labor. Partnership and collaboration work, but collectivism is a demonstrated failure. I see bitcoin as fostering autonomy and agency. Agency is crucial in fostering a positive and productive work and creative environment. And my experience with socialist (union) organizations is they completely ignore worker agency. When individuals have some control over their tasks, schedules, and decision-making, they tend to be more engaged, motivated, and satisfied in their roles. Now extend this to money and I find bitcoin antithetical to socialism.
Don't even worry to answer, he didn't even wrote that himself. It's a Chat-GPT standard format output.
While Bitcoin promotes individual autonomy, it doesn't necessarily contradict the principles of socialism. Instead, it can inprove the socialist goals of reducing economic inequality and empowering individuals within a democratic framework.
Integrating Bitcoin standard thoughtfully, socialist movements can leverage its benefits to build more equitable and resilient economic systems that respect both individual agency and collective well-being.

This is just a directionless amalgamation of buzzwords that say exactly nothing. If you do have a vision you are willing to discuss, say exactly, in a concrete, real life application, how you expect for bitcoin to help socialism.

For examplie, a worker in the cooperative go into their Bitcoin wallet app at the end of the workweek to receive their earnings. Then visitting the local market to buy fresh produce, paying the farmer directly with Bitcoin. The community council holds a meeting to discuss funding for a new healthcare clinic, and residents can track the incoming Bitcoin in the meenpool . This system promotes trust, fairness, and communal welfare, embodying socialist ideals in daily life.

You have just described currency, even fiat can be used that way today. Are you a liberal art student? I'm asking seriously

Since expressions such as "getting paid" and "crowdfunding" seem alien to you, and since the most you can come up with is "bitcoin can help socialism because it prevents socialism from being socialism", there's no point on keeping this debate.

Your assumptions are incorrect. I understand concepts like "getting paid" and "crowdfunding" perfectly well.
I believe that Bitcoin's decentralized nature can challenge traditional financial systems, including those in socialist contexts. Additionally, liberalism often fails to address systemic inequalities, turning people into individualists and leaving them behind. Socialism, on the other hand, helps people and the community. With the help of Bitcoin, which is traceable and not manipulable, in a socialist environment where resources are shared to help others, it could be very beneficial.

No, you clearly don't understand. Anything, honestly.
To start, the very assumption that you need Bitcoin for socialism to work implies that you distrust completely the very institutions that you want to manage everything. The fact that you can't associate A and B shows that you don't even understand socialism and have based your beliefs entirely in all of the senseless but pretty buzzwording you have been uttering.
