RE: Time for STEEMIT to put it's big boy pants on - PRIVACY MATTERS

in #privacy7 years ago

True, but you could get kidnapped if someone thinks you have a lot of fiat money as well. They could dig around in financial records if they really wanted. If people want to find out information about you and then hold you to ransom, they are going to find a way to do it.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm not necessarily agreeing with you that everything should be private either. It goes against the whole point of public, open blockchains IMO.

Sort:  

BTC = Serious investigative research to even remotely try and link a wallet to a person. Doable but skills are required and transactions are still fully transparent
My bank account = impossible to know, massive assumptions would need to be made
Steemit = A big fucking banner with fireworks and neon lights saying rob me.

lol

If steemit hid the wallets on the website doesn't mean that the blockchain is hidden. People would still be able to follow the money so to speak

True. Although you could still make some assumptions about who has money and how doesn't by the size of their upvotes.
