No one is saying women and non-white men[0] don't exist in the founding sets and senior engineering sets. They do (and in proportions that to my eye look balanced with the rest of tech, which is damning with faint praise I guess). Many of them are talented, interesting, and perhaps even moral people.
But it's definitely the case that outside of the narrow founding set, there's a very specific population bias in the rank and file of the blockchain community on reddit or steemit or whatever silly "libertarian" competitive echo chamber people are retreating to these days.
It just can't be terribly controversial to say that that there are tons of white men in the community of people around are and never will contribute to blockchain with anything but pennies and zeal, which arguably hurts a growing industry really badly.
[0]: "Russian" is definitely a "white" ethnicity these days. It's pretty wild you're trying to suggest that such a historically rich, anglo-centric and christian nation is somehow an outlier there.
