Thats amazing! I always wondered where delegates come from while looking at other profiles. It's amazing but also kind of scary that everything we do on steemit is visible for everyone (except of encrypting our messages in memos)

While using blockchain technology, you will start to love this kind of transparency. But hopefully steem will get some anonymous features where the user can even have more freedom in the network.
Yes. Currently there is as far as I know no way to get content of the blockchain after the 7 day period. This makes it dangerous if people expose information that they might not want to expose in the feature.
Exactly, I hope there will be a feature soon where a user can have more decision about his data. Even like removing all of it for example.
I think that would require that the post/comments data is not stored in the blockchain, but some kind of off-chain database instead. It would take a lot of redevelopment work, but could be a good way to go.
Actually there's no way to get data off the blockchain at all (except a hard-fork). When you remove your vote or edit your comment, they are extra records being saved in the blockchain, but the originals are also kept, and can be viewed using some tools.
Yes, I love the transparency that it provides, but I can see how others might have different opinions. I always thought it would be fascinating to have Facebooks's data to play around with, and this is getting close to that kind of thing.
Yeah exactly, and even more interesting if you think about decentralised exchanges where everything is transparent and you can create really nice statistics out of this freely available data. The future is bright with cryptocurrencies.
