Democracy is dictatorship by the majority.


Bitcoin is a Democracy by definition. or maybe more of a "Democracy with exile"

what is bitcoin?
Nodes express their acceptance of a new block by mining on top of it and the longest chain composed of valid transactions is Bitcoin.

there you go the bitcoin = whatever the majority of hashing power believes is bitcoin.

 Cheesy

What a twisted idea.

So if "the majority of hashing power", say, 55%, starts mining Kanyecoin rather than Bitcoin than it becomes Bitcoin?

says satoshi

it really has to be a fork of bitcoin with the majority of hashing power, but you get the idea.
