A Solution to Bitcoin's Governance Problem

http://techcrunch.com/2015/09/21/a-solution-to-bitcoins-governance-problem/

All the developers agree that the strategy of forking the main software is less than ideal, but where they disagree is that both sets of developers feel that they are acting in the best interests of Bitcoin users. As a result, the solution to this disagreement lies in the same principles that govern corporations, a vote by stakeholders weighted by their respective stakes.

I'm curious what the people from the world's biggest democracy think about the aforementioned proposal?

The big difference I see is that rather than each person getting one vote, voting is based on how much you actually own.

Fucking consensus and democratic. They said!
