Hi all ,

I've got a question for this community , probably it is something that i don't know or i ignore but.. what is the sense to have a decentralized network , a blockchain system when steemit ask you for a mobile telephone number to associate with your own personal account ?

Is that a political choiche ? Some security reasons (Local Governament Laws like for energy tokens)

This platform seems amazing for what represent , but why asking for the mobile number?

Thank you.
