ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Crypto-communism

Crypto-communism is kind of like playing a secret game with your friends where you pretend to have no money and share everything equally.

In real life, communism is an idea where everyone in a society works together and shares everything equally, like food, houses, and even toys. But some people think that communism has some problems and might not work well in real life all the time.

So, some people who like the idea of communism but worry it might not work well in real life have made a game called crypto-communism. In this game, they pretend they have no money and everything they have is shared equally with their friends.

They might use things called cryptocurrencies or digital money to keep track of who has what, and might even use secret codes and passwords to keep it all secure.

It's kind of like playing a secret game of pretend where everyone gets to be equal and share everything. It's not something that everyone plays in real life, but some people like to imagine what it would be like if everyone were truly equal and shared everything.
