This is bad news for all of us who wanted some sort of anonymity while exchanging cryptocurrencies. I am old but still this is a mix of getting the benefits of not being hammered by MSM all the time. But at the same time I am not going to cry over this as it is imperative to embrace anything in the world of Steemit. If this is what it takes for us to be left alone for awhile we have to take it regardless of intent or agenda. All of us are that this would translate to more speculators in the alternative coin market. We are waiting for changes.
All of us are hoping that the whales of the industry will come and join us in this community.
