Small and big are relative terms. The transaction of conventional money made everyday, compared to the transactions of bitcoin, in order to purchase REAL goods, shows how small bitcoin is.
I think our conversation is out of subject.
I think bitcoin is very small, you think it is very big.
This is relative, bitcoin is big comparing to ucoin, but it is small comparing to euro.
And after all. big or small, bubble or future bitcoin it is, this is a personal opinion.
Why we keep discussing it?
What do you mean with “this is a decision that cannot change in time” ? (it is false).
Let’s study a concrete case :
1°) Community(0) vote with Vote(0) = Unanimity, Rules(0)
2°) Then it is Community(t) = N(0,t) + N(t,t) where N(0,t) are the members who were present at t=0 in Community(0) and still present at “t” and N(t,t) the complement into Community(t).
3°) [Community(t), vote(t), Rules(t)] where Rules(t) = Rules(0) or Rules(t) ≠ Rules(0) idem for vote(t) compared to vote(0).
In your opinion, what could do Community(t) exactly to “change” anything ? They vote a new process vote(t) ≠ vote(0), whith wich kind of “vote” ? They vote other thing ? And what will be the situation ?
If you take a decision that something cannot change, this is not democratic.
It is that simple.
Have also in mind that each decision is supported by the alive. As long as the alive are dead, the decision WILL change, whatever the deads are saying about it.
So you pretend we make an error here in our “democratic” process because our community will be too SMALL, and we need BIG communities to create REAL goods (that’s your point).
And now I point out how “real” goods are a relative thing.
So now you can understand how we make no error at all.
I don’t understand what is happening following your democratic process :
1°) Community(0) vote with Vote(0) = Unanimity, Rules(0)
2°) Then it is Community(t) = N(0,t) + N(t,t) where N(0,t) are the members who were present at t=0 in Community(0) and still present at “t” and N(t,t) the complement into Community(t).
3°) [Community(t), vote(t), Rules(t)] where Rules(t) = Rules(0) or Rules(t) ≠ Rules(0) idem for vote(t) compared to vote(0).
So, following your definition of democracy, what is an example of what happens at “t” exactly ? I don’t understand what is your process. It happens anything ? For instance 1 single man decide to change all the rules for anyone in community(t) ? If not, what is one single example of what you mean at “t” ?
We are 5 persons that were present in an cryptoparty assembly, and we decide rule[0] as unanimity.
Then we decide unanimously our WoT rules in order to trust another assembly.
We send a trusted observer to another assembly, and their procedure regarding the rule “1 person - 1 public key” is correct.
So we have to trust these 3 persons from the fellow cryptoparty assembly, and we become 8.
The new votes are added in rule[0], and it gains 7 yes and 1 no.
rule[0] that defines unanimity is not valid anymore because unanimity is not voted unanimously.
