RE: Blockchain – Beyond Bitcoin (Part 6) Social Media, Digital Media and Publishing
Great series. Appreciate your work.
One question I have with regard to the security aspect. Are all posts visible publicly? I've been assuming that so far. Everything I write is visible to the world. By default it is 'insecure', if that is even the right word to use. It's at the least transparent.
On steemit? Definately. It makes you think about what you write :)
Thanks for the compliments.
As this is there (in principle) forever, it is indeed better to think twice ;)
In my view even with normal websites the info is always there anyways. As soon as something is put out on the internet copies upon copies are made all over the place.
Nothing you put out on the internet is secure in that sense.
On a Blockchain it's just so much more transparent. You can still edit steemit posts but there is a history associated with each page, not directly accessible, but available and undisputable.
This is actually what i was sloppily meaning. You cannot hide anything as one can easily trace-back any transaction.
