As a newbie on steemit, my curiosity continues to push me to explore more on the steemit website, may be i havent read enough about the operations on the steemit platform but i was shocked today when i realised that every steemit account holder can actually view any other account holder's wallet and its easy. Every transaction that has been made on that account becomes visible to everyone.
Steem, steem power, steem dollars, estimated account value, savings and transactions are all visible just by going to a persons profile and clicking on wallet at the far right. Just like any financial institution, i strongly believe this should be kept private, only to the account holders.
I am unaware if this has ever been written about by anyone on steemit, If it has, then i dare to ask;
What is the rationale behind making everyones wallet public? how come account holders are not informed that their wallet can be viewed by others? is it possible to change some privacy settings to make my wallet private? if there are no privacy settings for this, what is the way forward?
I need answers? kindly leave a comment with some explanations.
