RE: The truth behind Decentralized Exchanges and the ongoing fight against Mass Surveillance

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

First of all, I found the article very good. Whereby it should basically be the question, whether you want anonymity or not. Here at Steem is e.g. Every Purse Open - Anyone can look everyone in their purse and even look at their past spending and revenue. This has an effect, whether this is positive or negative is not clear. It is true that many users here reward others for desired behavior, e.g. Upvotes are offered to members who buy Steem and add them to their Steempower and become members whose behavior you do not like, e.g. because they have voted themselves or set too big a bounty punished with downvotes. Whether it really is an advantage that this is made decentralized, as if it would do a central job is not clear. On the other hand, it is also true that anonymity is not without problems. On the one hand, it would make it possible for the anonymity to operate criminals better and, on the other hand, options like downvotes would certainly be used much more extensively if an anvil could be handed down anonymously.

And yet another great feedback :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this particular subject @udow

That's a very valid point. I actually enjoy being able to spy on people. If I see someone with little resources I know that I may like to engage with such a person. Whoever is rich - I stay away :)

Enjoy your weekend buddy,

yes it's good point !
But you can see much more about everybody f.e. at steemword.
You can see whom he vote, you can see his online times, you can see how often he vote himself and much more...

Very true. Everyone can "spy" on you now @udow :)
