Dear friend, I can register in Steemit through Steem wallet.  But I will not do it. Steem is a token that represents a social network Steemit. And you understand this very well.

If this social network specifically angers users and requires a phone number, then it will end with delisting. This is a bad and not a long investment.

Yes, I benefited from the pump and closed the position. Because I will not allow for my money to violate my privacy.
I feel sorry for you. But I have already learned steem wallet, and so I will make my wild claim not later, but NOW.
Immediately I claim: Remove the phone number request when registering.

I'll see if they really need the collected phone numbers after delisting. An inconvenient social network should not exist.
