Back when I was a full time traveler I used to share a lot more personal information on chain.
It was unavoidable. As a travel blogger, perhaps the most successful travel blogger on hive back then, or at least the most popular one, I discovered that there’s a perfect mix of traveling adventures and personal information to make an appealing blog post that eventually turned into a series of travel blog posts.
It was all about linking my own experiences with the trip at hand, creating some bonding with the readers by establishing some personal information and how that helped me in that specific traveling experience or how it affected my perception of it.
The personal information I used to share on my immutable posts wasn’t that personal, but it was definitely enough to even create a profile on me, the old me, the nomad me.
It worked. It worked very well, and I used to love writing about my travels. I miss it, but I wouldn’t trade the life stage I’m at right now to go back to where I was back then.
The personal life stage I’m at right now is something I want to keep private, and the topics I write about nowadays require little to no sharing of any of my private life. I like it that way, I’m comfortable this way.
I understand why some crypto people stay anon. I can’t do that anymore, and I don’t even see the point to it. I don’t mind having a public life on Hive, Twitter or even Instagram, as long as I have very clear what I want to be public and what I prefer for it to remain private.
Like all things in life, there are boundaries in project.
These boundaries are extremely important both to set them and to follow them. So you must have them clear before you start your blockchain based journey, because once you cross some boundaries, there’s no going back.
This is a short post as you can see, or at least short by my standards. It’s already 10pm and my bedtime is past due. I have to wake up at 4am like I always do, especially on Sundays where my morning productivity skyrockets. Maybe this is a long by your standards, but then again that’s the beauty of Hive. Who cares what is a long post for anyone, and what is a quality post for everyone? It’s all relative and dynamic, and that’s one thing I love about hive and Leo, but anyway.
I wanted to try the Leo mobile long form post editor and catch some bugs. So far, so good, but I’m getting sleepy.
Going back to privacy and private life matters, I guess the title of this post is the only private thing I will share with you, even if the post content has nothing to do with the title.
Oh, and here’s a picture of my newly bought notebook that I keep with me at all times in case I get some ideas about work, hive, content, or simple concepts. It has nothing to do with the post title or the content, but then again this post was meant to be a disaster in terms of consistency.
Why? Because I can, and because it’s fun to let the brain do this kind of silly things.
Have a great night, frens.
Maybe In the comment section you can share with me your views about privacy, and about sharing part of our private lives on hive, which means they’ll be on chain, which means they’ll be here forever. Pretty rough topic don’t you think?

It’s a noteworthy question as many people who love the idea of crypto giving them privacy might not like sharing much about themselves even in the crypto world. I mean some people left the web2 world due to privacy but only to march right into transparency, a whole new system.
But I think at least with a place like Hive you have the choice to set boundaries to what you want to share. And that is the main point, the rest can be shaped in terms of our own perspective on privacy. I'm introverted in nature so I don't really like to share too much online or offline. But we can't all be the same
It is all up to the individual in my opinion. Their life to share or not. But, I can understand why some might not want to these days for security reasons as well.
You just put your heart out ..loved flow of words...
I try to avoid sharing personal but in a generic tone I try to share as much possible as I can. Some of the times it can get a bit difficult as well. I guess there are some users like jane and others from asia who write a lot on the travel, nomad life. I feel a lot of post 40 folks need to write about their nomad life post 40 as well.I think today we need a lot of such people who can do that.
I think creating boundaries and sticking to them is quite important in the digital age. With the transparency of web3, I prefer the concept of being anonymous, at least to a certain extent. But then to create relatableness with other people, some form of personal information will have to be shared.
I think the choice (as long as it still remains one) of how much/little we share is part of the beauty of the blockchain. There are times I feel inspired to get quite personal/open on here. It's helpful. It's also helpful to say fuck all, or say things that may not necessarily be true, in order to preserve, well, not anonymity. No longer the case. But you know, some mystery maybe :)
Obviously, it's important to change as you move through life and embrace that change. That being said, I miss your travel posts! :D
Yay! 🤗

I think it's not just you who are thinking about maintaining more privacy, I used to post a lot on social networks (facebook/instagram) nowadays I share little of my personal life, I believe that digital security and the format that people are acting in is difficult, I remember that I recently went through two atypical situations here at hive, in a post by lpud on the threads if I'm not mistaken, I received a criticism for inviting people by powerup, there was one more situation but now I can't remember.
Unfortunately, there are people who, for example, say, I like strawberries, then the person comes and says, so do you hate oranges? oh if you try to explain that you just wanted to say that you like something, the person already comes with criticism, maybe it's the moment that people are learning to live again, seeking silence to acquire peace.
Very nice your post!
You know, I used to worry about sharing my travel stories too back in the days, thinking it might be a bit too much info. But then I started to do throwbacks stories instead of real-time updates, it feels a lot more private and safe.
Of course, there's always a boundaries of what to share and what's not on-chain! Share things that will not backfired on you somedays is the plan
In my case, I don't care what kind of post it is. As well as I can connect with the author I keep reading the post doesn't matter how long it is but if I can't connect, I skip the post even if it's a post of 200-300 words.
In the case of privacy, I think I always try to hide many things. Maybe It's because I love to keep secrets within me. Besides I am not a person who doesn't share anything easily.

Not sharing your private lives, depends on people, everyone with their own opinions. Some might choose not to because of security measures while some might choose to because they feel like talking to someone.
I hear you, I wrote strictly for leo, financial information exclusively for a while, in part it was due to how small the community is and having put a lot of personal info out there.
When I first started I wanted to be able to say the things I feel about the medical system without compromising my former job.
Now, I'm some place in the middle
