>Never before did I see an entire audience be wowed by a women engineer. What do you mean?

  Whenever she talked, the crowd went "wow!" sort of like the laugh track on a 90's sitcom. The crowd was 99.9% men. I'm a man too, and I will admit she is attractive. But what she demonstrated was nothing new, about the Tangle network which was discussed in the whitepaper, on youtube, bitcointalk, 4chan /biz/ and reddit. Seeing IOT devices communicate by sending and receiving packets is nothing new or that exciting. It was the same as if someone was showing you a bitcoin transaction. Literally, some tech babble, look at the pretty picture (girl in this example) and go wow. When someone took a picture of her,a public figure of the IOTA team, other men with dates decided to white knight and tell the guy off "Don't take her picture." It almost escalated when one white knight went for his phone. Guy in question was taking pictures of presenters all night long yet no one complained. I'm not an expert in any of these matters, but just witnessing the crowd reaction was really depressing as it goes to show Cryptocurrency is now mainstream (Good), alot of gender bias still exists (bad) and people do judge intelligence/authority on gender and age (double bad.) Still the IOTA team is blah for lying about the MSFT partnership and the audience that night in which I was able to witness was double blah.
