Though i would wish that the bitcoin blockchain and wallet development would work more like democracy. The head developer should agree to what the users want and implement that.
Eew, really? We can do so much better than democracy in its present guise. The leader of a nation should in theory agree to do what the public want, but that's rarely the case. Democracy at the moment is where a bunch of wealthy individuals and companies fund the election campaigns to effectively buy the policies they like best. Everyone else gets to choose the bought puppet they detest the least. It's just corruption by another name. I'd personally hate to see Bitcoin work more like that.
Youre right, though what we call nowadays is not really a democracy. Demo cracy means ruling of the people and we both know our democracies "leaders" fear the will of the people.
I think when we really could come up with an idea how to ask the users of bitcoin about what has to implement which way, and we only pay for these implementations, then situations like that would not happen so easy, because we would have decided as a community. Now we have to deal with what the developers do and chose then. Possibly hurting bitcoin on the way.
