[Poll] Tell me if you are who I think you are...

[oda.krell]

The poll options are pretty self-explanatory, I guess:

8 combinations of ethnicity/gender/age range. (order sloppily randomized)

Please don't get too hung up about the, admittedly crude, distinctions like "white" vs. "non-white", or the binary gender choice, the format of this poll doesn't allow for much nuance.


Why am I asking those questions anyway, you might wonder. Because I believe that we are now still in the early stage of the history of bitcoin in which the wealth distribution is (largely) determined. This phase won't last forever, however. And if bitcoin is anywhere near as successful as many here think it is, bitcoin wealth distribution will eventually become general wealth distribution.

Maybe you can see why I would wonder then, what is the composition of our little group of early investors, speculators and adopters. I have a pretty big hunch what the result will look like, but I'm ready to be surprised.

Thanks for participating, by the way.

Interesting poll. I would have guessed white male between 20-49 ofcourse dominant, but it seems very dominant, confirming we are still in very early adopter phase.

[Patel]

Am I the only Indian guy here?! 

[adamstgBit]

[Ozymandias]

One of my eyes started bleeding when I read "their"

Oh well, Indians are honorary whites anyway.

Because of your avatar your probably asian female, under 20.

[Tzupy]

Total 7 women, that's 10%, not bad. Unless some of them are fat guys living in their parents' basement.
If someone wonders why I have a teddy-bear as avatar, it's because I'm a bear and many women perceived me as a teddy-bear.

[Peter Lambert]

Interesting that for men there is a clear dominance of the 20-49 age range, but for women it is reversed.

hmmm ya, i wonder why that is....

[Lethn]

That poll confused me so much I clicked on the wrong option >_< organise it better!

should be stuff like:

20 - 29 - White/Male

30 - 39 - White/Male

40 - 49 - White/Male

20 - 29 - White/Female

30 - 39 - White/Female

40 - 49 - White/Female


Oh no, my programming learning has started to infest my posts >_< now I need to correct other peoples formatting on top of their grammar and spelling! I'm a white male in the 20's by the way.

It would be easier to read if they were not randomized. What is the point of randomizing the options?

So, everyone who deals with btc is white? I didn't know the Bitcoin Foundation was just a chapter of the KKK....

Though, being as forgiving as I am, I'll consider it just a mistake that you forgot non-whites.

[Lethn]

LOL that's just an example, I'd end up writing out the whole poll myself it I put in every ethnicity out there and for your information I'm half-Irish motherfucker

The point is that there's an obvious answer (male, white, 20-49), but I didn't want the results skewed by the fact that I would order the options by their likely final ordering already.

And what's your other half?

Are you trying to use Irish as an example of non-white?

[Lauda]

The pool confused me aswell..

[01BTC10]

The pool confused me aswell..

Me too I gave a wrong answer but I'm in the usual suspect group.
