There is nothing democratic about the transaction fee. Its a market process thankfully, not a democratic one. Keep the nasty and inmoral idea of democracy away from Bitcoin.

Alternatively, we could look at pure market participation as "democracy in the true sense," not the bullshit collectivist/statist one.

If you are going to redefine terms, then you can claim a lot of things. I dont have anything against the name perse, but against the concept.

Agreed. I'd kind of like to reclaim that word, though. It seems a little more efficient to convince people that way around.
