Could you elaborate on what you mean by ‘oxymoron’? I’d like to understand better

Thank you for your insight. My view is that the issues you mentioned stem from traditional voting systems, not Bitcoin voting. If Bitcoin successfully becomes a form of political power, power groups would need to buy Bitcoin to support themselves. This means more funds would flow into Bitcoin instead of fueling wars, making wars too costly. After all, wars cannot seize Bitcoin, which changes the dynamics of power and reduces the incentives for conflict

Could you please elaborate? I don’t quite understand what you mean

May I know who he is?

The votes on KoinVote aren’t meant to be "legitimate" in the traditional sense—they’re more like a decentralized expression of support. It's not about replacing official elections, but about giving Bitcoin holders a voice. Just like Bitcoin itself challenges the traditional financial system, Koinvote aims to demonstrate that political influence can also evolve with decentralized tools. It’s an experiment in freedom and transparency, not just light-hearted fun 🎯

Well, is Bitcoin light-hearted fun?

It’s not a pilot, but the official launch of KoinVote. However, we are continuously working on improving the UI/UX

You don’t actually send any BTC. It’s just signing a plain text that includes the candidate’s name, time, and other details. You still retain 100% ownership of your coins

I wouldn’t call it a market because there are no transactions involved
