users do not have the right to vote.

Who wants a vote? A vote is just the act of asking for someone's permission, masquerading as freedom. Plus, when voting, you're usually only selecting someone to speak for you, in effect surrendering your freedom. Screw that.

Bitcoin (or at least, crypto in general) is better than any democracy. It's real freedom. You just do stuff and see if people then agree. You don't vote on it or wait for someone in power to say it's okay. Code what you like, run what you like. You'll be matched up with people who agree with you and you'll build a blockchain together. Everyone gets what they think they want while market forces and competition sort it all out in the end. Only the most successful chain with the most economic activity and most proof of work gets to be called Bitcoin. If people find their chain isn't as successful as others, it's up to them to build on it and make it better, or resign themselves to transacting with an altcoin and hope it has sufficient value to be worth their time. If it's not worth it, go back to the better chain. There are literally no barriers to stop you, despite what some here might say.

That's all that's happening here. People overreact and get all dramatic about it. But it's just people with different visions of what's best, doing their own thing. No voting required. And it's good for Bitcoin (again, despite what some here might say). Bitcoin will naturally adapt and grow stronger by taking the best code from the open market at any given time. And ultimately, users still decide what that code is, there's just no point in having a stupid vote about it. Democracy should aspire to be more like Bitcoin, not the other way around.

Remember that voting is always based on what people (and usually corrupt liars at that) say they're going to do. And you have to trust them to do it when you vote for them. You don't get any guarantees. You might not get what you voted for even if the person or party you vote for win. Bitcoin is better than that. You make an informed decision based on what has actually been made. There's no trust involved. It's right there for you to see it all in black and white. No surprises, no u-turns, no failure to enact a policy because the opposition party prevented it. If there's anything in the code you don't like, you don't have to run it. Name one vote in history that ever achieved that feat.

Voting has no place here. It's better without it.
