Democracy virtually assures that only bad actors will rise to the top.

Leaders are not chosen based on their intellect, competence or productive capacity, but because of their power to impress and enchant the intellectually underprivileged.
Much like mould, parasites thrive in a particular environment. In a social and political sense, their ideal is a bureaucracy.

They exist by syphoning resources, wealth, nutrients, time and energy from the system without adding anything back in. They have no input. They are a leaky valve that only creates an energetic output.
The only vote that matters is where you spend your money!

When you buy organic beef over fake ‘beyond meat’, you’re voting for real meat. When you buy an iPhone over a Samsung, you’re voting for the iPhone. Preferences (votes) are perfectly represented by where you choose to spend the product of your labour.
A Bitcoin Standard will look nothing like the democratic clown world of 2022.
