This would encourage vote selling and even more vote begging. No one person can massively influence witness votes, not even @blocktrades. You can move someone a few spots, but not take someone from 0 to a top 20.

For example, @blocktrades is one of the largest voters and has around 17.5MVests on his main account. To get someone in the top 20, you need around 105MVests. If someone was to buy that much stake (pretending for a moment it would even be possible with massively raising the price) it would cost around $7.5M USD.

A 51% attack would cost ~$46M in a fantasy land where you can buy that much stake without influencing the market. It would likely cost you 5x that unless you do it over years.
