Your confusion is well warranted. In truth I haven't made a post in the introduceyourself section as well due to a similar point. I don't know what to share about me. I ask myself am I doing it for me? For my followers? or maybe for the rewards perhaps?. Believe me, I want to help you answer that question but I'm still figuring that out myself.
I can however answer your other question. I'm not interested in knowing what's your name or where you live or what school you went. It's not safe and it's bad for your privacy too. I'm not against it, I just don't feel you should be talking about that side of you. However, telling your most honest point of view and your passion in life is more interesting to read and really worth upvoting and making interaction with. The side of you that you won't show in real life but people in here that would be glad to know or glad to spit on ( Steem people are very nice tho ). Looking forward to your post :)
Wow. You're a keeper. Ok, not keeper. But follower worthy. Following you now. :) You're a thinker, and I love thinkers.. I've learned long ago not to look at people reputation numbers (sigh.. you're a 38).. but instead what they say.. :) thanks very much for your comment.
OOps. I was already following you. So apparently you were decent and interesting before... and you still are... got to check out your blog. :)
Yeah, fairly new to this. Been a cryptobug for months now and fell in love with Steem when I got a couple of bucks from trading, I'm a regular here now and loving the community.
I can say I'm a fan of your posts as well. I regularly check for your posts from time to time. :)
Privacy? If you're still at a point in your life where you need privacy...not healthy. Being free is being open, let the world know who you are and where you came from. You don't have to write down your damn home address and say come visit me but trying to disclose your image is not healthy in my opinion. All his post have been about his passion and point of views...why do you think he came up with the idea of making a more personal topic post? Idk whatever he does I also look forward to reading, cheers all!
I beg to disagree. Especially, now in these times should we be more cautious and keep tabs on our personal privacy. SP & SBD as you know are digital assets which can be easily stolen should bad people (with enough knowledge and determination) be able to piece enough information about you and know what to do with it. Here in STEEM we can easily look at your wallet and see how much you own because of lack of privacy. Intelliguy has $3000 worth. Say in 3 yrs Steem rises to 100x its current value then @intelliguy here now would own more than a quarter million dollars. If he is not careful bad people can just dig thru all his old posts where he unknowingly provides pieces of harmless little info say, where he is from, where he studied or a fancy restaurant he regularly eats. If they can track where you are and knows exactly how much have in your Steem Wallet ( I'll leave what bad people would be willing to do for that amount of money with those info to your imagination). I'm not being paranoid as these situations happened to early bitcoin adopters (people stalking their family, taking pictures of their loved ones and then sending it to their phones demanding they send them bitcoin to a certain wallet address ). At this day and age it pays to err on the side of caution.
That's why we follow him I guess, I merely suggested he don't give out personal info about him even if a lot of people would want him to, as he was asking on this post what we want to know about him. Cheers :)
I understand your cautious nature, trust i do. My life is a little simpler I guess.. every action comes with a reaction, anyone who put that much energy to try to rob someone from looking at a crypto wallet online will definitely get what they deserve in the process. That would be suicide on their behalf, coming from me:)
Haha. Looks like you know a thing or two.Please take my upvote and followed you as well. :)
Cheers, followed back!
