I'm not confused about how bitcoin works.

Saying "write code and persuade everyone to replace the current code with your new code" does not refute my original point that bitcoin is undemocratic.

Democracy isn't based on "build a new system and then persuade 100% of the populace to adopt it".

When I try to come up with analogous situations to what you're describing, I can't think of anything else, either, that would at all resemble a democratic process.

I can't think of a single example of the political process where you could replace a voting citizenry with a "build a new system and persuade 100% of the populace to accept it" model, and still have that resemble, in any way, the original one of a voting citizenry.

I also don't know why anyone in this day and age would be comfortable with promoting such obviously undemocratic functions of society. What next, calling for kings to make a comeback?
