Everyone can see the contents of your SteemIt wallet!

Well, I was shocked. Looking at someone's blog, I saw the wallet button. I thought I would click it to see what the message would be. To my surprise, the full wallet information was shown with the relevant balances.

Ok, if SteemIt has decided that this is a feature, that's fine. My question is: Why didn't I know about this? How much money someone has, or has not, got is a privacy issue. I've never come across a wallet that isn't private. Have I missed something somewhere? As I said in a previous post, the documentation for SteemIt leaves a lot to be desired.

(Devs: What about an option to make a wallet private?)
