Possibly. Please expand upon your analogy so that we can discuss.
I don't know where I was going with my analogy.
I just discovered BitShares, and of all things, the top discussion is this. But it really helped me wrap my head around DPOS. And I am not at all turned off, although the mention of social contracts makes me giggle.
I suppose if I bought Apple shares on E*TRADE, then E*TRADE turned around and used their profits to lobby against Apple, that'd be problematic. But I wouldn't expect E*TRADE to disclose their lobbying practice to me. It's my job to investigate people I do business with.
If E*TRADE hid my Apple stockholder voting options (though, I believe that's a SEC violation), that would also be problematic, but again, I think it's my job to investigate people I do business with.
