I understand and respect your point of view. The purpose of the introduceyourself initiative is....well, to introduce yourself. How can you do that and still keep your identity private? Who will you be introducing?
I don't mean to sound harsh either, I have good intentions, but I hope you see the logic in my comment.
As about Steemit. It's up to everyone to make a decision based on all the facts (idea, work style, founder's response, security implementations etc.). Indeed, as in many, time will tell.
Well I'm just saying we should have different options. I know this is a losing battle as privacy is becoming an illusion but I don't really want to be a "public" person on the internet all the time if you know what I mean, I leave that to entertainers, actors, musicians, politicians and other public figures.
