My experience so far with women in cryptocurrency as someone who attends quite a few meetups:
The Beginner - Doesn't know much about cryptocurrency or technology in general, wants to learn about it for various reasons. There are men who fall into this category of course. I usually enjoy talking to these people.
The Enthusiast - Knowledgeable and experienced in cryptocurrency topics. Fun to talk to.
The Feminist - Might know something about cryptocurrency, but all she seems to do is plug the various "women in cryptocurrency" groups around the city. Rarely contributes to the conversation. Writes whiny blog/Twitter posts like this one.
I think everyone is getting tired of this browbeating.
I can write blog posts like this one and be knowledgeable and experienced in cryptocurrency topics. Feel free to check out some of my other Medium posts https://medium.com/@linda.xie/
And has everyone not been beat over the head with gender bias this, misogyny that.. to an extant that were not gonna buy it this time? Who are these oppressive men running the decentralized crypto industry holding women back?
And from what exactly... buying bitcoin? Running a mining rig? Pretty sure it’s an open market and women’s fiat is as good as men’s.
Oh.. oh people didn’t talk to you at “crypto currency events”.
Ohh... you want men to pay for subsidized tickets. I see.
Does anyone read that blog and, gender aside, feel like that’s someone you’d enjoy hanging out with? Didn’t think so...
