Right @corvo but of course there could be annotations to the tip that makes it public, after all that's one of the aspects of Steemit that is most interesting, it's transparency. You can look at everyone's wallet. I am sure the same will carry on in the future. So in the case you brought up, there should be a way for the person not tipping to explain why he/she didn't tip. But the bigger picture is, at the moment Steemit looks like a more viable currency in the future than even Bitcoin, because of how it is tied in to a social network. If Steemit ever gets out of Beta, it's not too hard to foresee large companies and stores making pages like they have on Facebook, and accepting Steem for goods and services.

I concur. Exciting stuff!
