“Steem is about community. For a community to thrive, you need people to assume personal responsibility. Anonymous accounts cannot be hold to account for potentially malicious or harmful behaviour” as the @sorin.cristescu said
And if somebody doesn't identify himself will be kicked off the blockchain? And what if the email address is fake? And what if the person uses VPN or Tor?
It shouldn't be imposed but rather incentivised, IMO. A bit like LinkedIn, but much better - despite the huge number of fake profiles, the proportion of completely fake profiles on LinkedIn is still much lower than on FB. Because LinkedIn is a place where you could potentially meet your next employer ...
I think Steem needs the anonymous option, think about the situation of people blogging in dictatorships. Uncensored site, but who writes about something really important, faces the wrath of the authorities? It can't be serious.
I also chose the anonymous solution with a reason.
I have to agree, since I do not own a mobile phone, neither a bank account, or even a citizen id card with a valid date, I don't do anything that might be considered illegal but, I'm not a citizen, I don't serve the city neither the people in power.. The few money I earn is from honest work, by doing small jobs (whenever available), and am trying to make some in steemit, I refuse to pay taxes and don't want anything from the state, government or anyone related..
I would prefer to live in the streets and not have food than contribute to this dictatorship masked as democracy..
And just this is hard as it is, the last thing I want is to be censored or pushed out for not conforming to a state granted document, license, etc..
Anyway, these are my "2 cents" about this, not that it would matter, still, I wanted to thank You and all other users for caring enough to participate on this..

Linkedin has other purposes.
