He never said they needed to do anything, but if they did do it, we'd all benefit. I dont agree with everything he says. Yes i believe the intelligent discourse on bitcoin will vastly benefit but you get the good with the bad... even amongst bitcoiners only, x is a shitshow...

Yeah I agree with that.

But I’m questing the “democracy” aspect. Why is a “majority” needed in the first place?

The masses (I being one often) show time and time again we will go along in herd instinct with what we perceive (or are deceived into thinking) to be right- and thus “make it right” under the rules of democracy (mob rule) -which we have been warned against in writing since Plato.

But Bitcoin wasn’t created or developed by a majority, Socrates drank poison because the majority gave him a sentence of death or exile, Christ was crucified by the majority.

Doesn’t matter what the majority believes. Truth is what matters. Changes in society happen because of the remnant and the revolutionary.

I hear you but in the context of hyperbitcoinisation, people make up society. and without the people how do you effectively affect culture and spread truth?

Decisions should not be made by a mob but culture is memetic and spreads through one.

I think the masses will only use Bitcoin after the fiat currencies fail.

Even after “hyper-Christianization” in a few hundred years after Christ, religion was used to justify wars, completely in the face of what Jesus told us.

Sure most people couldn’t read the Bible in Latin, but is that so different from people today not reading C++ ?

The masses and their leaders consider convenience and popularity. That’s it.

Even when they are forced by history to start using Bitcoin, they will have custodial derivative products managed by bankers.

I would like to encourage you, keep going and doing the work. There are many people yet to wake up, but after they wake up- they will no longer be a part of the masses.
