RE: We need to talk, an open letter to the steemit creators, developers and community.
The whole point of being able to see others wallets, is transparency. And i 100% agree with it, the world would be a better place if everything was transparent. The problem that needs addressing is simply teaching people not to fall for scams. theres nothing wrong with being able to see how much other have, and how they made it, it keeps things honest. deal with it.
I respect your opinion, You're entitled to it.
If you believe that to be true, then you wouldn't have a problem with sharing your internet history with everyone, would you?
What about your online banking details? There are lines that need to be drawn. @ewasteguy1 There is a huge privacy breach here, this is a financial statement. I also do not appreciate your tone: "Deal with it". If you have come here to weigh in, do so by all means. If you've come here to start an arguement than I wont ewaste your time.
the whole point to steem is transparency. which you seem to have a problem with. If you dont like how the site works, dont use it, its pretty simple, dont make a rant and cry article bringing down the site especially when what your complaining about is one of the founding principles of the site, transparency, sure go ahead and complain about phishers, but the fact our wallets are public knowledge, most people joining know this. its in the faq,,,, which you should have read before making an account.. so to complain about something that is a integral part of the site is just uncalled for. it is not steems fault that there is less then honest users... nor is it there fault if you fall for a scam link. its up to you to better educate yourself what to click and what not to click. the faq even warns about scam links and how to avoid them, so again, not their fault you did not properly educate yourself before using the site.
I couldnt careless if you shared my history or banking info with everyone, im actually pretty proud of my banking record. i invested in bitcoin and did quite well, same with my internet history, i got nothing to hide. Generally only those ashamed of something theyve done would care. Im open book and i believe the world would be a better place if everyone was. there is no lines crossed here on steemit, its a great site, and their transparency is the best part, if you dont like the service, your free to abandon using it. steem is based on blockchain and cryptocurrency, the whole movement of crypto and blockchain is transparency so i think you missed something if you have a problem with how this works, and you should have read into things more before joining.
