I often hear that dumb phrase "Bitcoin fixes democracy"... LOL such idiotic.
Bitcoin fixes only one thing: people's mind.
Democracy can't be fixed, only made obsolete.
People nowadays have a total wrong idea what is democracy.
I meant as a sovereignizer (?) tool Bitcoin can eliminates people's dependency on gov & corporate and truly use their own brain to make the best decisions. But i totally agree with u
Government forms can't really be evaluated in isolation. Would I prefer representative or direct democracy to most forms of government? Yes. There's an argument to be made against governments in general though, democracy or not.
There's a federal government, and 50 independent states. Half the federal government is made up of state representatives. It's all held together by a distributed legal document called the Constitution (specifically the Bill of Rights), which hasn't changed a word in over 230 years, and is what is used by supreme courts (federal and state) to interpret the law and settle disputes between them. Sounds a bit like nodes, miners, and a distributed ledger, at least the design pattern does.
The monetary system isn't part of the Constitution or government design pattern. A Federal Reserve didn't exist in 1791. That came later. Today, the Federal Reserve and US Treasury are largely independent from the government, because their decisions are not subject to approval by the federal government. And you're right, the money is centralized.
It influences every government in the world today. It's taken on many different forms over the last 2 centuries, and gone through many fundamental changes. The government design pattern and Constitution haven't.
Here is the example of how democracy works, in just one image.
The majority decide what to do with your own money, without even asking you.

There's no better system that's been put into praxis. You can only judge things that have been built already, and put to work in society at scale, for long periods of time. Trying to claim utopian ideals or conceptual ideas are better alternatives is silly, until those ideas have been built, put into praxis, their emergent behavior known, and some scale achieved. Intellectuals, self-appointed Twitter experts, and shitcoiners like claiming otherwise. But this is kind of what bitcoin is in the process of doing, building, displaying its emergent behavior, scaling. It's a long, difficult, and organic process.
My gut feeling is we have a bunch of NgU 1st world bitcoiners who pretend like they have it bad (they don't), and commiserate with the 3rd world, when their urge to save humanity is really an urge to rule. And many mistakenly think that a full-scale disinflationary and decentralized money standard should be implemented immediately at scale, which is incredibly stupid because many other things have to happen first. Thusly, some sheep bitcoiners would replace all iterations of democracy if it meant a generous 300% spike in BTC's price. It wouldn't really matter what was replacing it, they'd get behind the information cascade. Maybe that's a little harsh, but since a certain crowd seems hell-bent on Bitcoin Twitter remaining the total addressable bitcoin market, they might indeed need bitcoin politicians, Blackrocks, and conflicts.
It's hard to believe in democracy (at least in the US) when you realize that Washington DC is just run by old boomers who don't give a flying fuck about anything except for protecting their own personal interests and the corporations that have their hands in their pockets. Meanwhile the rest of the country suffers.
Democracy is for the weak minded that need someone to make decisions for them. The strong rule themselves. No man can tell another what he should do.
Only sounds good in theory, can't scale to nation/state level
But maybe Bitcoin incentive will fixes this in the future ?

I don't believe in democracy. But Decentralization.
The US has a decentralized form of government
Really?
There's a federal government, and 50 independent states. Half the federal government is made up of state representatives.

But their monetary system is absolutely not decentralized.
The monetary system isn't part of the Constitution or government design pattern. A Federal Reserve didn't exist in 1791. That came later. Today, the Federal Reserve and US Treasury are largely independent from the government, because their decisions are not subject to approval by the federal government.

Doesn't the monetary policy influence the government?

There's no such thing. Governments ARE corporations. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/darth-last-words-to-luke

Democracy is tyranny of the majority.
