How is Bitshares decentralized?

Basically there are two different types of tokens in BitShares.

Tokens issued by 3rd party that are backed by trust and a promise that you receive something in return. (open.BTC comparable to poloniex.BTC)

And tokens that are backed by collateral on the blockchain without middlemen or counterparty risk. (BitUSD, HERO and other SmartCoins)
