Hi Steemy people !
Today I would just like to share a question with you : Is Bitcoin a real democratic system ?
Bitcoin was created to empower people, to transfer power from banks to people .... and it works at the beginning. Miners were independent and not concentrated.
But, like life, power and concentration alway find a way ( and yes it was a Jurassic Park reference ).
10 pools of miners are owning 87% the hashrate network power... They hold Bitcoin's fate in their hand.
Even more serious, to avoid a Bitcoin split, 80% of miners must adopt BIP91. It means that 20 % of miners pools can make a Bitcoin split.
2 big miners pools could provoke a Bitcoin split .... 2.... and there are more than 15 million Bitcoin wallet today ( source : https://blockchain.info/charts/my-wallet-n-users ).

If nobody bothers to mine Bitcoin except for 2 major plagers, how is that not democratic? Majority rules. That is how Bitcoin was designed.

True, Bitcoin was designed to give power back to people. the thing is how can an individual make a difference in front of those pools ?

Pools were created to mutualise mining power ... Are pools democratic ?

He can't unless he decides so, but that takes efforts and investment (mining equipment). Most people vote with their feet (i.e., don't act but do complain).
