@dana-edwards I was not familiar with the DPOS system prior to reading your work and I'm thankful for you taking the time to raise awareness. I absorb information all day like a sponge, however one can always miss valuable info on the web; it's huge.

The risk with DPOS or similar protocols is that it resembles politics as you rightly pointed out. "The crowd by itself is not wise and does not research deeply into matters and for this reason the media has extreme influence.'' Absolutely agreed. Politics. And that's an easy way to control the masses. Divide them, teach them to hate people with different views. You need them divided in different groups thinking each other is the real enemy.

But again, all this mess stems from the fact that the masses are ignorant and refuse to educate themselves. They refuse to ''waste'' time researching. They're too busy watching tv shows and games.
