Well described. There are folks going absolutely nuclear over these things - genatalia, perversions. It's often tied to what appear to be intentional misreading's or overbroad readings of relatively innocuous statements. "small circle of mostly men" turns into some sort of absolutist statement about bitcoin ownership, genatalia and perversions. One reason to mention gender is that gender, and broader access by women in particular to tech is a current topic. So here you have a VERY male dominated space worth billions. While a women caring for a child at home get's paid nothing. I actually see some major issues in the way society rewards people, and the gender concentration mentioned in this story is interesting in that context.

A field is dominated by x - y is not getting paid anything. What is the involvement of x in the life of y? if you get rid of x - would y suddenly change and start doing things that x did..? Americans workers are paid $x per hour to work. Bangladeshis are paid less than $1 a day. It is the fault of the Americans? Some people have ample food, others are dying of hunger. Who takes responsibility of the dying people? all the people that have food? I can see you are pointing out a difference in life outcomes of different people, but how are you tying this with gender? this is my question.. are you suggesting a woman can't take care of her child and be successful at the same time? are you saying women don't have enough agency to make their own life decisions till a savior comes along and makes the right decisions for them? What if it appeals to this woman that she care for her child as a higher priority than trying to go out and increasing some number on a banks database - Are you trying to say the value systems of each individual should be aligned to money alone? that, the ones that have money are successful and the ones that don't have it have failed somehow? If I make the argument, person x is religious, see how god blessed him with a good life. Look at person y, he's poor and misrable, its because he doesn't follow this religion. Its not a very sound argument because I am just confidently asserting a co-relation where none may exist..
