RE: Should I Use My Real Face On Steemit?
Wow. Good for you. That's admirable. People will sometimes search my name when they want to find sermons to watch online. And I suppose I don't want to confuse people if they're searching around and then see all this other Steemit stuff. But, you're right, I love the idea that it keeps you honest and helps you sleep well at night :)
I'm fascinating by what you said, that it "only offers the illusion of anonymity." I'm still new to this blockchain stuff. I guess there's ways to still find people out, you're saying, if someone is motivated?
There aren't currently ways for people to tie your identities together; but there may be tools available down the track, and 3 seconds after you post, it's on the steem blockchain for generations.
I'd hate to be a dropkick on here for a decade, then watch as somebody posts the real identities of the top 100 dropkicks onto the blockchain.
Best to avoid the whole thing and be me from the outset :)
I had to look up what dropkick meant ;)
I agree with you. I'm basically just going to treat this as if it was completely public as if I was using my real name. I won't share anything I wouldn't mind becoming public. It's sort of a general principal I always try to abide by with social media.
