Next Step, Privacy.
Agreed, anonymity is a must on a social media site where usernames can easily be associated to a real world identity.
I think Steemit.com would benefit from an Incognito posting option where it conceals the identity of the account... just saying :D Or it could be a whole new platform based on the steem blockchain? Or would the blockchain need to be altered for this to work?
@the.masses was an account that anyone could use to post anonymously. It was great but someone started trolling with it.
Posting anon is no big deal, you can create an alternative account and post through tor but when users want to engage in commerce, anonymity is super important. Businesses won't use a crypto that allows anyone to view their balance sheet. Even simple transactions between individuals, most people would not feel comfortable about this being public.
Lol see this would be one way to do it, but I feel like if everyone just had a checkbox for anonymous poster or something for each post it would be plenty good and encourage transparent discussions as well. It would also help the content get a little better IMO, people could share "more".
