It certainly is a fair point. Privacy is something we take for granted, it has no value in the eyes of most because we accept the lies from the elite that its ok that they infringe our privacy on the grounds "you shouldnt mind if you dont have anything to hide". I hate that expression!
My privacy is my privacy. We have doors on our house, and shudders on our blinds for a reason. There are aspects of life we acknowledge deserve discretion, and our finances DEFINITELY should be one such area.
Yes for safety, but also just because ITS MY MONEY! Why should anyone be allowed free access to my bank account value?
I really, really, really do not get why Steemit allows wallet visibility to anyone/everyone.
