You know, depending on how you look at it and how biased you are , one might think of this like:
Do you really want to let people chose again what they want, like in a 4 years cycle elections?

Depending on how you look at it, exactly. In my opinion, Bitcoin is more important than elections in democratic systems. If Bitcoin was democratic, we'd not only have to agree to a particular set of rules but also be forced to use what the majority deems as right. "Screw majority", says bitcoin. You can opt-out anytime you want, and join another community, which is more oriented to your perspective on how the network should operate.

The people do choose what they want, just not in the manner of traditional elections. It surpasses that system. Unlike in elections where a government mandates voting for one of the presented options and obliges compliance with the outcome, Bitcoin allows greater individual autonomy.

Nope, no difference. It's the same in a country with free election and especially in one not locked like NK!

You don't like the government, you're free to go, sell your house (coins) move to a different country (blockchain), buy a house and get job there (use a different coins and a different blockchain). See how easy it is? Just how you tell people that don't like the fees and speed of BTC to use BSV somebody seeing you angry at your government could tell you to pack your bags and go to **** Somalia if you don't like the policies!
And no it's not superior because in a normal country you can elect the government every 4 years, good luck trying to that with Foundry or Mara and the lead developers, put it simply in Bitcoin you have the freedom of packing your bags and go away if you don't want to obey the rules but no chance of you and your finds even with a majority managing to change them Wink

Yeah, hard to swallow pill, but think about it twice, it's the actual reality!

The current fees aren't as high as many believe them to be.

The quote on mempool is also misleading, that is for one tx with 1 input one output, after juggling for almost 6 months with coin control, most of the actual users are out of options, there are moment when you need to increase the number of inputs, and from $6 that might turn to $20.

Also, despite 4 blocks in a row in 10 minutes, we're still at 142sat/vb, and I just got a refusal to relay a tx due to low fee at 21sat/vb... Angry
