People of the subreddit who are against premining, what's your opinion on CEO's having shares of their company, or employees being partially compensated in shares?

Having a financial incentive tie you to your project is not always a bad thing. What do you think is a difference between someone developing their company and selling part of it to get investments, maybe selling even more when it goes public, and someone making a crpytocurrency where they own a certain % of the coins?

Obviously this is an issue when it comes to decentralization, but not every altcoin aims to be a competitor for Bitcoin, some just try to solve problems not yet addressed by Bitcoin, and where it might be fine for the developer to get some compensation or control.

You could say it's not fair to the other people buying in, but can't you also say this if you are a minority shareholder?

Interested to hear your thoughts.
