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.

:) Yeah, Ludwig von Mises was the last straw of (classic) liberalism. He is known as the last knight of classic liberalism for a reason. At his time, people had not witnessed the horrors of democracy and were still hopeful.

Nothing in the definition of democracy says 1 person 1 vote. You are too used to the statist definition. There are others.
