Why is "democratic" if I have a phone and internet?
What is the meaning of the word "democratic" in this sentence?
It's a figure of speech. If you want to know more, you'll have to ask Clístenes.

You should be aware that the words "government" and "democracy" (or anything related) tend to provoke a strong reaction from Darth. It's like they activate his dark side! 😅

You are using too much the word "democracy/democratize" when it should not be there.
Democracy have nothing to do with Bitcoin.
Democracy is a shitcoin.

Granting equal rights, opportunities, and participation to all individuals, regardless of their social status, background, or beliefs. That's what they mean with
"Democratization of access to money"Bitcoin is neutral.
Everyone can use. Everyone is equal.

Democracy and democratization are not necessarly the same thing. In fact @0xbitcoiner didn't mention the word "democracy".
reply
Democratization means mob ruling, a group deciding for others, it doesn't mean equal rights.
You better say "open access to money".
But yeah, this word was inserted so deep into people's mind that now in their brain democracy = freedom = rights etc when in fact is not.

means mob ruling, a group deciding for others, it doesn't mean equal rights.
I understand and agree with you. It is true that our modern "democracy" results in the tyranny of the majority.
However, the definition of "democratization", as I mentioned earlier, still holds true, even if it may not fully realized in our present form of democracy.
