One thing that strikes me is how opt-in the Bitcoin space is. I started participating in forums and on r/bitcoin back in late 2012, and real names were seldom used.
It's tiring to see Bitcoin berated for being non-inclusive when there haven't been any barriers stopping women from participating — either by buying coins, starting/joining companies or participating in discussions.
And if it is true, as this article suggests, that women are less interested in Bitcoin due to the extreme risk, why are we so collectively outraged about the gender divide amongst startup employees?
edit: rather than downvote, would anyone care to discuss this?
- theprotocol 9y ago>would anyone care to discuss this? The prescriptive nature of their "argument" that a gender split must be 50-50 or else it's sexism cannot be justified. Enforcing outcomes is not an idea that emerges from any chain of reasoning; it is simply tyranny disguised as activism.
- xiphias 9y agoActually Bitcoin didn't have any risk in the start. It was an experiment in which anybody who was interested in making the cypherpunk dream a reality could sumbit code even anonymously and take part in mining with just running a node.
