Bitcoin Forum

They first claim it's hard to find any women at the inside bitcoins conference in Vegas (~500 to 1,000 people)

but they proceed to find an astonishing 10 women! :) haha

pay special attention @ 4:57: "It all started on the bitcointalk forum" :D

my estimation half were gf's of newly rich nerds

I bet all of these womin would let me give them the best screwing they've ever had for 1 BTC

You wonder why we don't hear much from women here?  Look at this!

"Bet they got lost" -- as though they couldn't possibly really give a crap about it.

"Bet they're just girlfriends of some newly rich nerd" -- as though they couldn't possibly give a crap about it, and besides are just there because of someone else.   Hell, for all you know that newly rich nerd is a woman herself.

"Bet they'd let me screw them for a bitcoin" -- as though being interested in Bitcoin automatically means they're whores?

Can anybody say one damn thing here that isn't an insult? 

Precisely. Unfortunately, it seems that many here choose to blissfully ignore their bigotry, instead blaming the "gender gap" on imagined "fundamental differences between sexes".

Ah, sexism.

Thank you for the post, goat :) I would have loved to attend that bitcoin conference!

Ask yourself...how many technologically revolutionary companies were started by women...and how many by men?

I'm quite certain there are many guys there that wouldn't mind to "show her the way'.

How did this topic get so sexist? :D

gender disparity in business is known. What is up for debate is the reason behind the gender disparity.

Some people may claim essential differences between men and women - I claim that the disparity is because of gender based oppression and discrimination.

nb: I'm a LEFT WINGER, a SOCIALIST, and that's where my viewpoint comes from :)

the correct format of your post would be:

given: I'm a LEFT WINGER, a SOCIALIST

the gender disparity is because of gender based oppression and discrimination.

I put that there, indeed, because I would be glad to discuss things with people but it gets a bit tiring arguing things from first principles all the time :)

Yes my charming misogynist behavior is scaring all the women away form these forums. Not because most people don't even know about bitcoin and those who are involved are mostly computer nerds and tech geeks.  A bunch of butt hurt white knights ITT. Keep it up because women love submissive, crying men who put them on a pedestal.

And let's be honest here, I'm obviously joking but probably not too far off from the truth. I know mistress_maggiepie agrees with me.

I love submissive men.  If they get to know me they don't put me on a pedestal :)

You'd think they could get better booth babes though.

yeah I also wasn't very "wow'ed" by that blonde

Next to average looks she was also stupid as hell. It's probably in her best interest not to talk to much.

Are you talking about the blonde at 1:50 wearing the red sweater? She's the only hot blonde in the entire video.


And I call dibs on the older woman at 5:00... not sure why im attracted to her but i am and i'd tip her half a BTC

My friend runs an online teatox tea shop (http://www.oneslimtea.com/) and she accepts Bitcoin, Primecoin and Dogecoin. Women who are into these things are out there.

someone likes older women..


ya I'll admit, 5min woman is cute

Maybe they really shouldn't be into these things yet....

Cool... has she gotten any orders through in those coins?

That was painful to watch. Obviously they'd only hired her as some kind of "eye candy". And lol at Phineas Gage.

She (1) doesn't know her function (or she hadn't heard the word PR before :D)),  (2) tries to reapeat after someone and fails .... twice and (3) doesn't know whether she's with the company whose name is on her shirt and whose stand is right behind her.

Yeah I'm passing, but have fun anyway ;)

Dogecoin is pretty crazy I agree but it can be traded for Bitcoin :)

Goat is the biggest sexist in this thread and yet he hits the ignore on me... lol

This thread is full of sexism anyhow so is it ..... the kitchen? :D (oh wait that was her place)

So her function isn't to teach me about trading coins :(

She got her first Bitcoin order today! Someone wanted to pay with Primecoin but she couldn't get it to them by Christmas.

If you're not sure if you're being sexist, use this guide:

Replace woman/girl/chick/babe/blonde/etc with "black guy".... if your post now sounds racist, it was sexist to begin with.  If it now sounds gay, it was *definitely* sexist.

The reason there are fewer women in tech is because of sexism.  That carries over in to bitcoin as well, yes, but that's not a reason to repeat the mistake here.  Maybe the universal appeal of bitcoin is a way to try to include more women and build out from there.  Hell, if you want to be completely mercenary, having the other 50% of the population interested in bitcoin will just drive up the price. :)

Agreed to thesouljourner... despite anybody's views the way to stabilise, expand and promote bitcoin is to be as open and accepting as possible!

It's the other way around. Woman are generally less interested in these topics. So there are more men to make these jokes and less women to publically pressure men to not do this.

I'm sure it's the same with straight men being the minority in nursing schools and in fashion.

That's not true at all. I'm not going to say anything else just in case I get labelled as sexist.

My wife was there with me so that adds one more female in attendance but she really could care less about Bitcoin. She calls it another one of my "strange hobbies".

According to who? Then you can say there are less men in fashion because of sexism. Or there are less stay-at-home dad's because of sexism. Staying at home, raising kids, cooking meals and keeping a family together is no bullshit task.. it's full time work and there are far less men who do this job because they are discriminated and society looks down on men who don't work in an office.

OMG SEXIST! :D


Does she have any strange hobbies, apart from following you around strange conventions?

You mean you brought a little fuck toy with you? I'm liking you more every day. lol

Yes, she quilts and throws everything she makes in a closet. Then she buys all of our new bed coverings at Macy's. That's pretty strange.

Hero! :D

I wasn't one of the ten. ;)

I would have gone if BitChicksHusband wanted to though.

Vegas is not really my favorite town.  The objectifying of women is a bit rampant there.  I know some of you enjoy that sort of thing.  You are not a woman though!  :P

Oh, come on. Admit that you'd be hurt if all men started ignoring you. I will agree that most women don't want to be JUST objects. lol

Women in vegas do that to themselves. Some women there make a killing by 'objectifying' themselves, and they love it, and can care less about what feminists like you think about it. Not that you are a feminist

I thought Vegas was like the perfect place for female Christian rock singers ;)

I'm not sure why it even matters whether someone is a guy or a girl when it comes to Bitcoin.

Ding!  We have a winner!

It only matters to men because they're inherently Neanderthal. Men, regardless of age, are sexist pigs that think only with the little head. Even though they will say other wise most men probably believe women won't "get" Bitcoin. I bet it's not even presented to most women they know by the current users. I myself could be a scientist standing and talking to a fellow scientist who happens to be a female and do you know where my eyes would be looking? At her tits, of course.

Side bet that Stacy Herbert is the largest female holder of BTC?

Indeed.

Lol I know right? Don't people understand 21st century comedy these days? It's all about irony, sarcasm, and dry+deadpan humor.  The outright "sexist" and "ignorant" posts are obviously jokes

TL;DR ok, am i the only one that suspects that the Blonde wasn't a booth babe, but rather the daughter of the guy who was prompting her? She was much too shy and kept looking to him for support to be anything else.

I'm in a post-ironic phase these days.

Sometimes the "overused and watered down" part is a function of the joke and what makes it a "joke". You clearly understand nothing about humor and the definition of a "joke". You're like one of those hecklers or people who get all angry and upset and write into a network because he was offended by some random comment made on a tv show.

You must be hella fun at parties

Indeed, I also though the beneficial friend kind of thing.

I want a bitcoin girl to fall in love with ^_^

Loved the bit about africa. Africa went from almost no telephony to straight to everyone having a mobile (cell) phone. Africa also relies on remittances. Both those facts could help africa to break out and adopt btc much more widely than the rest of the world. It'd be great to see them throw off the shackles that the rest of the world has been imposing on them forever.

freethink, I agree completely - hawalla, micropayments and cell-phone based Internet in Africa indicate a prime target for Bitcoin adoption!

yep I'm hoping for great things out of africa.

Lot of white and Asian (mostly Chinese) males in BTC. As soon as that changes the true cryptocurrency revolution will start.

I guess they don't broadcast the Big Bang Theory in fittan's country (a sitcom where a couple of cute girls deal with horny nerds). This forum always reads like a script of the "Revenge Of The Nerds" movie series. Men do have a weird preoccupation with the opposite sex. I suppose you can blame testosterone for that. Porn is the largest business on the web because of men not women.

the thing is we all think bitcoin is cool and we want it to be a success but I think africa actual needs it. It solves a lot of real problems there (and in a lot of poorer countries.)

Remittance is the obvious one. Western Union costs a lot to transfer money in comparison. There's a lot of talk of btc replacing the dollar but in africa that's a realistic outcome. I can honestly see africa leading.

Just an aside: wireless is practically made for Africa. They have relatively few hills and it's >1/3 desert, so you generally can use much shorter towers and less powerful equipment (or at least get the same-powered signal much farther). African savanna is also a relatively good place for wireless infrastructure due to generally having far fewer obstructions per distance than, for example, North American forests. If their governments are lenient toward wireless bandwidth frequencies, there's no reason they should be suffering low Internet bandwidth (it'll get better relatively fast), and the quick propagation of mobile technology is no surprise. It's also just about the best place on Earth (at least geographically) to break away from the Internet and get competing, decentralized solutions going.

There are a lot of cool things which could happen there and opportunities to really get a leg up.

On topic because there are women in Africa.

Not sure on the hills thing but Africa has a record for adopting lean tech because it's simply too big to do any other tech. I'm hoping they'll become what they deserve to be although I'm sure hundreds of suits in the west will be working day and night to ensure they won't.

The great thing about africa is it's easy adoption of disruptive tech. And that's exactly what btc is.

Bitcoin magazine has a hottie

No bra at 550

She's a little mysterious, but I like this video with another "Bitcoin Girl"  :)

Dear Dafar, thank you for (after 3 years of being on this forum) giving me the chance to try the IGNORE function!  Hope it works! :)

Please, try responding.... I will COMPLETELY IGNORE YOU! btw... even if the "ignore" doesn't.

[ps, this post is actually not for you... it is for other "ignore" button pressing newbies... go ahead, give it a try! DAFAR gives you a great opportunity!

I'm not on anybody's case because I don't get that it's a joke.

I'm on peoples' case because this particular *KIND* of joke keeps some of the best people away.  These are people I'm friends with, and whom I would like to see here.  A couple of them are even among the sharpest programmers I know, and if they got enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies they'd be an asset in terms of possible contributions.  

But, if they come on here and among the first things they see is a thread that starts off like this one?  Nope, bye.  You'll never hear from them even once, and they'll never be here again.  

So yes, I'm upset.  Every time I'm about to mention this place to someone who otherwise might like it, these clowns start another thread with one of these big steaming turds.  

Speaking of stereotypes... what is it with women and "real men"?

Women can do whatever they want, but real women have no reason to leave the kitchen.

coinmkt girl is the best of all

Oh, so "real man" is a euphemism for "having a large-enough dick." Real classy. ::)

I seriously doubt you've seen enough pre-pubescent boys' penises to judge, anyway. ::)

Or maybe he has? He might have even sucked a few.

Don't ruin my deadpan humor with your weird pedophile jokes.

You missed the joke. It's a woman that you're talking to - not a he. You are pretty deadpan by the way. lol

Really? I thought you were fighting that hard because you were a woman. That would at least be a good reason. So, you're just a pussy. Ok, got it.

I swear some of the guys here are on their periods... you clowns are getting more offended and making a bigger deal about this thread than a woman would. If a woman got offended they would just ignore it or exit the thread because guess what, the rest of this forum (literally every single thread besides this) is about bitcoins and women aren't even mentioned. And people are somehow tying this as the main reason more women aren't involved with the tech scene, fuckin LOL! I know everyone is stressed and upset that we still haven't recovered back to $1000+, which means some of you will have to buy your kids notepads instead of iPads for Christmas, but let's just calm down because I have a feeling we have a good year ahead of us.

No one's implying anything negative about women. Most of them just don't know jack shit about bitcoins, and that's okay... they will just marry all the men who are bitcoin millionaires.  ;D

You win. That's an even better troll than mine.

Wow...I was hoping this could be a productive conversation but obviously not..

-out-

It's reading threads like this and the crude, biased comments that are coming from several of the men here that makes me realize what an uphill battle we are going to have getting more women into the Bitcoin space. I've posted about women and Bitcoin on here before, we all want to see Bitcoin succeed and so long as we snicker and make disparaging remarks about women here, especially at public events this isn't going to help the cause one iota.

How would you feel if the situation was reversed and Bitcoin was a largely female dominated space? Imagine going to a conference or participating in a forum where 97% of the other guests are all women and you as a male are in the minority there.

Sure, some guys might think they can handle that but then mix in an undercurrent hostile feminism combined with anti-male sentiment and nobody taking you seriously because of your gender - you start to get an idea of how some women might feel in an environment like that to the point of giving up and leaving entirely.

Fortunately it's usually not that bad but all it does take is just a couple of bad actors to give the whole Bitcoin movement a negative reputation for women. Bitcoin is meant to be all inclusive - not just a boy's club.

At the end of the day, the few women that are genuinely into Bitcoin right now need to be treated as equal peers and given the same respect as any other member of the community. If anything they should be recognized as our best ambassadors for moving ahead and helping Bitcoin to get greater acceptance and credibility in the wider community - regardless of gender.

That just my 2 Satoshi's worth here... </rant>

They're just seeking attention. Remember in grade school when boys would pull on the girls ponytails? Same principle.

That's right. The truth is we really don't know the gender of most people here. Hell, we don't really even know if they are all different people or the same person with multiple accounts. The fact is most of the users would be happy to have more females here but believe that mostly men post on forums. 4chan is the worst of them and is where the meme "tits or gtfo" came from because of the belief that no one there is female.

I would like to ask a question to women on this thread.

Do you believe the 'traditional' role of womanhood is unsuited for a modern female? What do you define as 'strength' and 'dignity' as a woman?


One caveat: Being mouthy =/= standing up for yourself. This applies to all peoples, regardless of gender.

I would like an honest, sincere response. Thank you.

Yeah make sense... Considering most people in this thread have gfs and some are even married.

Even my gf is laughing at this thread.

how about some people get over this thread quickly... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=372603 They need help and probably the true sexist.

I wasn't talking about you or people who are just laughing at the thread, don't be so defensive.

Though your contention that men in relationships no longer seek attention from the opposite sex is beyond ridiculous.

I think maybe the 'bitcoiners' arnt that type.. they are just trolls making the rest look bad? ... or maybe bitcoin just attracts loads of people... both good and bad :/

Making claims on the internet doesn't make them true. You often seem to be making outlandish statements which are backed up with zero evidence, such as this:

Please refer to my ignore list if you want a peaceful time on these forums, you newbies are falling for the classics, that and there are clearly some trolls lurking around to piss you off on purpose :P

Where is your ignore list?

Funny how women want equal pay yet we don't see nearly 50% of Bitcoin members being women, e.g. if it wasn't for the brave men taking the risk as early adopters humanity wouldn't enjoy the wonderful gift which is Bitcoin.

Plus you could look outside the window and see that every brick is there because a man put it there. Just being a realist.

I'll be 100% honest with you here, I would be extremely surprised and confused. I would think, hmm.. this is a revolutionary technology here that has the potential to change the world, it's highly technical, and there's a lot of potential for making money, so where are the men?? It would make no sense to me at all if women were the majority embracing bitcoin. I would love it though... I would love going to events with mostly women participants, maybe i'll find a girlfriend with similar interests, who knows.



Sorry buddy we're just having some fun here.. you're the one pushing the gender gap even further saying shit like "they should be recognized as our best ambassadors". If you want equality don't put a gender on a pedestal. Acting hostile toward females is one extreme, but you're on the other extreme. It should not make any difference if bitcoin owners are male or female. Naturally there are more males right now because we're still no where near mass adoption and the community is mostly filled with tech nerds, but that will definitely change. Just look at bitcoin for what it is and ignore the users, it is a technology that WILL benefit them in many ways.. why would females not use it just because of random offensive comments on the internet? Women aren't that childish and stupid. And this place does not represent the entire bitcoin community so shut up and stop crying.

 ::) You guys are funny!

www.Cam4btc.com !!!

(Because too many people in this thread are retards I'll make it explicit this is a joke. Putting his gf on cam4btc does not prove she's his gf ;))

Hey shawty, checkin you out over there you lookin kinda good, ya know what im sayin. My bitcoin collection is massive, ya know, so how about you and me go back to my place, get comfortable, probably sip on some of dis henney, nom sayin, and after that, you know what im... sayin, we can do the grownup and you can let me clap on dem cheeks? I'll be waiting for your PM baby gurl

Sure, that would be a start.

the more women that hold btc, the more likely we are able to sell dick pics for money! still unlikely though, since they could get those for free

I forgot that you couldn't see it publicly lol :P I did post it somewhere though but it's all the usual culprits that nobody likes very much.

Maybe we should have a "Post your Ignore list" thread.

I know there was a thread... having trouble finding it, though. I tried selling mine at one point... :D
(edited to remove people I don't think many would agree with)

No I'm particularly interested in those :P

Rephrased: (edited to remove people I'm hesitant about having know I dislike them) :P

why?

Anyone who has a long ignore list suffers from small dick and no balls syndrome 

Depends on what you like. I only put people on my ignore who are truly annoying (just being retarded is not enough).

There are 4 people on my ignore list:

Yeah... That's the only reason I haven't posted mine.

Actually I read most of the posts of people on my Ignore list in the threads that I'm interested in, but having to perform that extra click to show their post is a form of protection, like putting on a mental condom first.

420 great finally you found few women in bitcoin conference at Vegas and don’t worry girls are rapidly transforming into working women from house wives so soon you shall see the escalating number of women in every field including future conference of bitcoins. So Best of luck to all ladies

Thanks for the link. For those who haven't listened, one of the people interviewed in the video (Dr. Stephanie Murphy) talks about the experience. It's near 75 minutes into the podcast. I thought she came across quite well in the video, but it was apparently a negative experience for her. That's too bad, because she's someone who is clearly quite knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and liberty, and she does a very good job of explaining things. I'm sure many of you know this, as both lets talk bitcoin and free talk live have significant audiences.

I laughed more than once at the humor in this thread. I'm OK with that. Generally I'm in favor of people having a sense of humor even about serious subjects. On the other hand, if things like this were to cause Dr. Murphy to spend less time talking about cryptocurrencies, it would be a huge loss to the cryptocurrency community IMO. That's not because she's a woman, but because she's intelligent and a good communicator. The same is true of all the cohosts of lets talk bitcoin.

As far as I'm concerned, everyone is welcome in the bitcoin community.

Well, except idiots. And people who believe in the state.

Can't tell if on or off topic

besides last post of course thanks Krona

Women aren't interested in science, math, or technology and want to watch the Bravo Channel instead?  Blame the white male.

They were busy at parties and getting pregnant while nerds were home alone.

+1

True fact. Even ugly girls got action. Me? Home alone on the computer. Glad now I'm not a loser with a baby.

Wow, women are people too?

Who would've thought.... ::)

Is there an "ignore" button for an entire thread?  ::)

Bad people, I'm a feminist!

I am a lady obsessed with Bitcoin. I believe there are fundamental differences between men and women and men tend to be more interested in finance related topics. People just want to pretend these differences don't exist. The truth is, it's a man's world.

I was a tomboy when I was younger, always playing football with the boys. I think I have a male brain.

Anyone feel free to add me on Facebook. I sometimes post about Bitcoin and get no comments, haha. It would be nice to have more like-minded people on there. My FB name is: Helen Elizabeth Anne. I have a picture of myself with Max Keiser as my cover.

My YouTube channel is Golden Jordan and I shall soon be recording some Bitcoin videos.

Youtube removed your video:

Your video was removed. Don't you have a backup anywhere?

Welcome to the crypto world :) be careful to scammer, troller and ect ;)
no this is not a man world, this is crypto world :)

Bingo. 

You don't get to the top just because you are cute and have nice hair.  You have to take risks that could sink your entire life.

If I would have 200.000 Bitcoin, is it possible to know some women of bitcoin that in future will can marry me? Ahahahahahha. Hope to see some woman in bitcoin's world, because actually I don't see anyone yet.  ;D

Why do conversations about women in the Bitcoin ecosystem have to dissolve into talk about sexual attraction?  We need to elevate the dialogue: http://blog.cakebet.com/bitcoin-woman-women-getting-shafted/

Don't know why you revived such an old thread but Vanessa have wrote such good lines.
Bitcoinwoman looks bad to me
