Really good post mate. I've one question that perhaps you can answer me. Is the content a user reads and clicks on public? I know posts, edits, followers and all that is public, but what about the links I click?

Hi @odd1 , thank you for your compliment! And regarding your question: that's a very good question indeed!
I'm guessing you are concerned a little bit about your privacy, correct? Since I am so new to Steemit (only been a member for about 2 weeks now, that's the honest truth) I haven't dug into all the nitty gritty tech aspects of the Steemit blockchain. So I cannot with 100% confidence answer your question right now. I also don't know (yet) how to download and (data- query the Steemit blockchain myself. I want to know how to do that myself, so I can verify your question.
My guess is, however, that your "click path" (or IP address?) is not stored in the blockchain. The "transactions" (including contents) are public in order to verify they are authentic, and its contents are "signed" via a cryptographic hash code.
PS: can anybody with a vast / deep tech background about the Steemit blockchain comment on this as well? Maybe @elear? @oaldamster? Anybody?
