What a ridiculous and ignorant comparison.
We're talking about code. Not politics. GTFO
In the case of Bitcoin, code is synonymous with politics. Code is law, Bitcoin is a social contract. Consensus is a form of democracy, and the fundamental protocol rules are like a constitution.
"Bitcoin is a social contract"
"Consensus is a form of democracy"
Have we officially gone full retard?
Take your Rousseau socialism elsewhere won't ya?
The only retarded think is to think, that Bitcoin development is a pure rational thing. Have you ever read reddit posts from your beloved Core developers? Do you really think, they are purely rational without any human fault? Are you aware that the term "consensus" was used in politics long before PCs were invented?
For sure, there is politics in Software Development, just denying that fact, doesn't make it go away.
